AGE APPROPRIATE?

She should dress as she feels and not bend to what society dictates what she should wear.

I think I will become one of these grandmas ! I am in my late 40s . . . and I'd say I'm one of the older moms at school. I don't "try" to dress young . . . I just happen to like certain styles of clothing . . . and well, some of it happens to be "young" like. I can still wear shorts, mini skirts, dresses, and anything really. Some of the parents might whisper things, but I don't care. I wear what I want to wear !

anyone should dress how they feel comfortable regardless of age

If she feels good about herself, then she should dress the way she wants.

I think she could dress somewhere in the middle. I don't think it's proper for an older person to wear short-shorts, or short skirts/dresses or show half of what they have in front no matter how they look. I doubt that my kids would stick to my ideas though. A lot would depend on if she works and where and what attire is appropriate for the places she frequents. If she dresses younger than she really is she risks some guy abusing her freedom and she may not be able to take care of herself if forced into an untoward situation. I wouldn't dress that way, but then again I never really did even when I was younger. I'm not saying she should wear what we consider 'granny clothes' either as I'm hopeful to steer clear of those myself.

Yes, whatever she's comfortable wearing would be fine.

Young or older, I would prefer a more modest dress unless she is going to the beach.

If she looks fantastic, she can dress as she pleases. Sometimes clothing can age a person, I have seen beautiful women look dowdy.

If you look young, then dress that way. No need to let people think or know you're a lot older than what you portray. I like looking younger than I am.

I think she should wear what she likes but hopefully she won't look like mutton dressed as lamb.

If she looks well in it and comfortable, why not?

She should wear what she likes regardless of her age as long as she doesn´t look laughable.

If people could be happy and their ways of achieving that don't offend anyone, why not? I am all for it. (I will dress up like that too if I have that sort of figure & clothes/shoes, I love that pose, but in my case, if I did that, I think I would fall over for sure! (I have weak chicken legs! )

Should dress as you please , she looks very beautiful!

I agree with you. She should dress the way she wants.[u][/u]

If I still looked that good, I'd be wearing a mini skirt, tube top and high heels @Kandae11 .

I'm a grandmother and dress the way I feel. If it looks good and I look good, that's all that counts. Btw, she looks awesome for her age!

I think she should dress however it makes her comfortable.

That's a tough one. Out of one side of my face I will say that people should wear what makes them happy - no matter if it's too "young" too "old", too "skimpy" , doesn't fit well, etc... Though there is such a thing as being appropriate. Sometimes it's not respectful to dress a certain way for some situations. And sometimes there is such a thing as what looks best on the person - no mind if they like it or not. There are some older people who dress young who look great and daring I think. Then there are some older people who dress young who just look desperate and sad. I don 't know what the difference is. I think that the grandmother in question should wear what makes her feel best... but trying to keep an eye on if it enhances her beauty, or cheapens it.

Why not! I think anyone, in any age should dress as to what makes them feel good and beautiful about themselves. It's also up to the person if she'll let what society dictates affect the way she dresses.
