Once you look at options for age 50 and up, they get really crazy.
Apparently, everyone should have a white blazer, a little black dress, a nice handbag, low heels, flats, bright colors, and dresses that come below the knee. Cottons, linens, and cashmere are recommended. Jewelry should be tasteful, perhaps “dainty.”
Some sites say you should wear high collars. Others say you should show cleavage.
Some say you should stay with solids. Others say we should wear bold prints.
Yes, these recommendations are tailored (pardon the expression) to women. You don’t even have to type “for women” into the search engines.
There’s just one problem.
Where are these people going? How often do they wear a white linen jacket (never mind white linen pants)? Where do they wear the little black dress?
Do these well-dressed women walk more than a block? Real women wear sneakers.
Handbags? Who are we kidding? Real women carry canvas totes and backpacks.
