This is why you need forums such as this one (or a stylish friend who will tell it like it is). If you are unsure if your outfit is too young/too old/too something, you can always ask and get much more helpful advice than you could get from an idiotic survey! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/results-of-age-approriate-survey#post-347901 Wed, 11 May 2011 19:11:01 +0000 Michelle 347901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The knee-high boots and trainers actually made me laugh out loud! I guess I can just refuse to go outside for six months of my Canadian year once I cross the 45 threshold. Thanks, life, it's been real! :p<br /> I'm 30, and I'd never be caught dead in a bikini. It has nothing to do with my age and everything to do with my body. Arbitrary rules are not good for much beyond a laugh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/results-of-age-approriate-survey#post-347894 Wed, 11 May 2011 18:57:24 +0000 rosee 347894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>...BUT they didn't say at what age you stop wearing "combat" boots -- can I wear them until I am 90? 92? Maybe I'll be buried in them.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/results-of-age-approriate-survey#post-347878 Wed, 11 May 2011 18:22:03 +0000 modgrl 347878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Darn it! I have to put away my boob tube and belly button piercing. I hadn't planned on doing that until, like, a year or two from now! </p> <p>I think the things on this list are equal opportunity for the young and old! Anyone can look bad in boob tubes and uggs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/results-of-age-approriate-survey#post-347875 Wed, 11 May 2011 18:14:54 +0000 KristineK 347875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the article would have been even more interesting if it had included data about the distribution of responses by age bracket. Are the age limits skewed downward for certain items because women in older brackets or women in younger brackets voted that way? Were there cases where responses were pretty uniform across age brackets? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/results-of-age-approriate-survey#post-347868 Wed, 11 May 2011 17:33:38 +0000 Isis 347868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for skinnydipping 61 yr olds! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/results-of-age-approriate-survey#post-347867 Wed, 11 May 2011 17:32:19 +0000 Patty 347867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anyone under 40 want my see thru chiffon blouse??? LOL<br /> I know !!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing views!!!!&lt;-----considering the choices offered I guess. It's material for cattiness and second guessing more than anything! Everyone is different and age as a number should not define.</p> <p>And I agree with the commenters that say that if you can't wear a bathing suit after a certain age-- then skinny dip !!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/results-of-age-approriate-survey#post-347861 Wed, 11 May 2011 17:10:51 +0000 Anonymous 347861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I reject this survey. So there, survey. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/results-of-age-approriate-survey#post-347860 Wed, 11 May 2011 17:09:43 +0000 Kate 347860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>um, women above the age of 61 aren't allowed to wear swimsuits?!?! Given that the average life expectancy for women in the UK is 81, what are we supposed to do if we want to go swimming during the last 20 years of our lives?!</p> <p>I also like that 51 is the cut-off age for ponytails, but 53 is the cut-off age for having long hair. Imagine all of the 52 year olds trying to make the most of their last year of having long hair, but unable to put it in a ponytail!!! </p> <p>Totally absurd. </p> <p>It's also funny how many items they posted that I have and will never be comfortable wearing at any age (boob tube, miniskirt, belly button piercing, leather trousers, uggs, see-through chiffon blouse) are allowed into our 30s and 40s. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/results-of-age-approriate-survey#post-347856 Wed, 11 May 2011 17:05:13 +0000 rae 347856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, hellllls no! I am never giving up knee high boots, no matter what anyone says! It's really a shame that articles like this are so simplistic; I'm sure it takes the fun out of it for a good number of women. :T </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/results-of-age-approriate-survey#post-347851 Wed, 11 May 2011 16:53:08 +0000 annagybe 347851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So that means I need to get rid of my leggings, leather pants and especially my leather leggings? Gah! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/results-of-age-approriate-survey#post-347849 Wed, 11 May 2011 16:47:55 +0000 Patty 347849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Apparently the commenters were not surveyed.</p> <p><a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1385908/Women-old-wear-bikinis-beach-47-survey-shows.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.dailymail.co.uk/fem.....shows.html</a> </p>
