They are told not to try to look young, but to wear clothes that don't show how old they are. Which is it? It's obvious that you're not 20, so what? I say concentrate less on age and more on simply wearing clothes that flatter the shape, work for your lifestyle, and suit your personality. Not dressing like a teenager and keeping up with the style of the current decade seems self-evident. It also applies to every WOMAN of whatever age, who is old enough to support herself. I disagree that one needs to have perfect arms to go sleeveless. Just don't have GROSS arms that scare people. Aside from horrid scars, extreme bat wings, and cellulite, who cares? But if your arms aren't in perfect tone why should you hide yourself? Over 40 women have too many rules. They are told not to try to look young, but to wear clothes that don’t show how old they are.
