I have also suggested your website to a friend who just seems to be so down about how she looks. I think that if you feel like you look good, you have more confidence.

Unless you want to highlight that part of your body, I don’t recommend leggings. Skinnies or slim pants that skim the legs would look better in my opinion. And then wear with a long tunic. We will consider writing about this in the future.

Please give some guidance on what to wear when you have knock knees. I have swelling from just below the knees to the thighs, another problem.

Not my problem, but if you write an article, you could include suggestions for those with bowlegs.

My Nan is 92 years young. She wears black leggings with black ballet style pumps and a black and white stripe top etc and looks really stylish 🙂 I am trying to be as stylish as her

I am a 68 year old and have been wearing leggings for ages and still do. I am very young at heart and always dress smart with matching shoes and bags and modern jewellery. I tend to go for Italian fashion so stylish

Ally,

The shorter knit dresses cling to knit leggings. That’s why I need a slip between knit dress and knit leggings

I love leggings, but not always sure about which tops look best. I look forward to trying out your suggestions for tunic tops. I just need to be careful the tunic does not overwhelm my petite frame!

Hi Marie, I am 75and have just started following this blog. I adore leggings. I am just under 6 ft and not heavy, not skinny and am also told that I always look right in style. I have a helpful 41 year old daughter who makes sure I look good before I go out the door. What I wear with my leggings depends on how I feel that day.. Might be a blazer type jacket if I have to go shopping. I have even worn them to church under fancy tunic. (small town) my daughter told me just tonight that she is glad I am her Mom and don’t dress like a frumpy old lady. Around the house, my go to outfit is blck leggings and az white long sleeved shirt. I believe in the old saying of you are only as old as you feel.

M Rena makes two great waistbands in leggings. One is a high waistband and the other is a high tummy control leggings. I highly recommend the tummy control. They really smooth things out!

I never give out very strict rules (all of them are guidelines) and I certainly believe that women over 40 can wear animal prints. Right now they are very popular as well. However, I personally think that animal prints work better worn in tops and dresses and accessories. Animal print leggings can also be worn especially if you identify with a rock style personality https://40plusstyle.com/a-style-guide-and-capsule-wardrobe-for-the-rock-style-personality/ I would make them more chic by combining them with a long solid color top (white is a good choice) on top.
The golden rule is that, so long as you wear what you wear confidence, you can just about wear anything!

Marie, I too am 70; just submitted a comment similar to yours as it relates to animal prints. I am not sure how long it takes for a response but am curious as to why we are not supposed to wear animal prints. I have always had “great legs” and love the look and the comfort of leggins. Will be curious at response. My name is Maureen so you will see it if Sylvia answers. I am 100% with you!
