What's too old to wear a bikini or mini skirt?
Friday, 13 May 2011


60-something actress Helen Mirren's famous bikini photos and 47-year-old model Kristen McMenamy's recent swimsuit shoot in Italian Vogue have raised the bar for bodies mature women aspire to, but how old is too old to wear certain fashion items remains a question of personal esteem. A new survey published in the Daily Mail May 11 now tries to provide an official benchmark.

2,000 women between the ages of 18 and 65 polled by UK dieting company Diet Chef proved to be conservative when it comes to the appropriate age for wearing a mini skirt (35) or tube top (33) but were more generous regarding bikinis (47), giving you till the age of 61 to ditch your swimsuit and stay off the beach altogether.

Everyone but Elle Macpherson, who is older than 34, should stop wearing leather pants, according to the survey, but for leggings, you'll get another eleven years until they are to be banned forever to the gym.

As for shoes, mark your half-centennial by throwing away your favorite stilettos (hoping you've already done the same with your Uggs at 45 and knee high boots at 47) and opting for more sensible choices - kitten heels, not sneakers, since they're not a good look from the age of 44 - from there on. It's also a good time to chop off your hair, apparently, as long hair and the ponytail are no-nos from your early 50s.

Here are the complete results. What's too old to wear a...?
...bikini? 47
...miniskirt? 35
...boob tube? 33
...stilettos? 51
...belly button piercing? 35
...knee high boots? 47
...trainers? 44
...leather trousers? 34
...leggings? 45
...Ugg boots? 45
...swimsuit? 61
...tight vest? 44
...see-through chiffon blouse? 40
...long hair? 53
...ponytail? 51

Fixed :he:

What does long hair or a ponytail have to do with age??

 

[^*^Death^*^]

At what age do you have to give up the boy toys SG

 

[charles w]

I suspect when they give her up.

I think the ponytail is indicative of a younger women's playfulness.....but in reality, I've seen 60 somethings with long grey hair and IMO it really doesn't suit them. In comparison I'd say it'd be like a 60 something man wearing a kid rock T shirt, a baseball hat sideways and their surfer shorts pulled down to their thighs......

I have no problem with older women in swimsuits as long as they have the body for it......I had a neighbour back in the city who was 50 something and she had the body of a 20 yr old. (did yoga twice a day and worked out a lot)...she could wear anything....

I don't necessarily think clothes are age restricted, I think it is determined what sort of a figure she has. Think of tara reid with her train wreck body in a bikini.....*shudders*....or those two ton tonys in thongs......*gag*

What does age have to do with it? Age is but a number.

Attitude and body type has more to do with how an outfit looks than anything else.

I know lots of 20 something women that SHOULD NOT wear things like tights, mini skirts, bikini's, form fitting clothes etc.

If a woman looks after herself and can "pull off" the look and attitude, then I say go for it- regardless of age.

As for this:


Again, on the right woman- this can also work:

My take on this is. If it fits wear it. Like CG I have seen young ladies that should avoid at all cost wearing one and some MILF that should wear it daily. :bad:

 

[Mommylh]

lol you can say THAT again lol.....

 

[technicolourlassie]

Yikes :shock:

 

[rachel90d]

Helen can put many young girls to shame. Wish my old lady will look like that at 60.

 

[Doethineb]

Not bad for an old girl there Ozzie, even this 47 yr old looks damn good....

now there is one shot where she definitely needs to work on her ass but sheesh....

(she kind of reminds me of my hot neighbour)

 

[The Chika Rita]

No pic tboy...

You need to use a pic hosting site tboy.

(I let the first one go, but I can't let another one go by without a shot of some kind...):tongue:

 

[Fonz]

Not a bad Grandma. Yummy.

 

[Jonny]

The numbers stated above are bullshit in my opinion. If you can pull it off I say go for it.

I don't believe bosco is loading all his GHM and SSG pics into a pic hosting site before posting.....cutting and pasting USED to work.......

 

[Nat2036]

Yes he is... at least all the ones I've checked anyway.

And it only works with a simple cut and paste of a link, if the hosting site allows hot links. When the pic doesn't show up, that's a good bet that its because they don't.

(Note- it will still show up in your browser, because it is already loaded into the browser's cache, so you won't even know it doesn't show up for everyone else... unless you log out, clear cookies, and re-log in.)

 

[michal]

well, kudos for bosco for going to all that trouble every day, too much work for me......all that pic is a simple cut and paste from the orginal link in SG's story about the 47 yr old in italian vogue....if you want to see the pic that bad, click on her link......

and who said the net was supposed to make our lives easier????

[Cal0130]

Trouble??? :roll: You aren't using the autoloader available on the Imgur website are you????

Only 1 extra quick step...

Ok a couple of points:

1) posting pics is NOT that important to me.....
2) key words there: google chrome and firefox, I don't use either
3) 99.9% of the time, cut and paste works and that's good enough for me.....
