A woman should remain feminine at any age. Probably, in their youth, every representative of the fair sex had at least one thing made of leather:
- Jacket;
- Skirt;
- Pants/leggings;
- Dress;
However, there are five reasons why you should not wear leather after 50 years.
Why you should give up leather
Reason 1. The most important and compelling reason is that skin ages a woman. Elegant leather trousers and skirts look spectacular on girls under 30. For older ladies, leather should be taboo - due to its rough appearance, it adds age, even if the woman’s figure remains the same as it was in her 20s. And if the figure is no longer at all model-like, then leather products will only emphasize this more.
Reason 2. Leather is a rather specific material and things made from it are not always appropriate. If you really love leather, then it’s better to leave it for bags and shoes. Older ladies wearing leather items will look somewhat vulgar. Stylists believe that a woman over 50 wearing leather is an attempt to appear younger.They also recommend paying attention to other women and analyzing whether the item suits them or not. In addition, this is not a classic clothing option and is not suitable for everyday wear.
Reason 3. Natural leather always follows the shape of the body, and this is rarely suitable for older women. Not everyone wants people to see ears on their hips or a butt that is not beautifully shaped and firm, right? Jackets need to be chosen with special care: so that they are not tight and do not look baggy. Manufacturers of leather clothing rarely target middle-aged and older customers: mainly such clothes are made for young girls.
Reason 4. Although genuine leather is durable, the body will not breathe in it. Tightness and excessive sweating will not have the best effect on our own skin. Why wear uncomfortable clothes after 50 years? And if the leather is not natural, then there are even more flaws in it. By the way, a natural product simply cannot be cheap. So why spend money if you can buy much more comfortable textile trousers, a dress or a skirt, which will also look better and flatter your figure?
Reason 5. Men do not like such clothes on women. If a young girl in a leather dress is attractive to men, then an adult woman in the same dress is absolutely not. On a subconscious level, men associate black or brown skin with the nature of a cat, a whip or a red rubber ball. Some men also note that leather clothing might look appropriate, but it is very difficult to combine it with other wardrobe items, and most women do not know how to do this.
Reference! All of the above does not mean that you need to throw away all leather products: it is appropriate to have a well-chosen jacket, leather belt, bag or shoes made of genuine leather in your wardrobe.
A leather jacket is always in place. And the trousers, the dress – it really smacks of vulgarity.
In such outfits as in the photo, neither a young woman nor an older woman will look good, it is vulgar.
Well, yes, the examples they chose were some very vulgar! Nobody dresses like that, even among young people! Mostly ladies wear leather jackets, which is quite acceptable!
In general, after 50 it’s better not to live at all. Nothing is possible. It’s good that the Neanderthals didn’t know about this; they would have died out. But our TV stars don’t read this.
Nonsense, I absolutely disagree with the author. What is shown in the photo in the article will not decorate either young or older women at all. Leather is quite acceptable in the wardrobe of older women, incl. both skirts and trousers. The style of the skirt or trousers should be chosen according to the figure, and the top, for example, should be made of natural cashmere.I don’t really imagine the dress on women over 50, but elongated vests or sundresses, diluted with a jumper or blouse, look very attractive.
Even a young girl will really look vulgar in such outfits. Well, the example is not very good. Firstly, I do not agree that the skin has a rough appearance. Because there are many types of leather. This includes clothing, shoes, belts, bags, furniture, etc. Yes, and clothing leather comes in different finishes. After all, hardly anyone will decide to sew clothes, for example, from shoe leather. It's just funny. Secondly, if a woman does not have a model figure, then she does not have to be over 50 years old. After all, there are also young girls with non-model figures. Thirdly, just because a woman is over 50 years old does not mean that leather clothing will not suit her. After all, a person, regardless of age, is individual, and this means that leather clothes may not be suitable for a young girl. The author divided by age incorrectly. And then the baggy look looks unsightly, both in leather and fabric clothes. Let’s say that manufacturers are targeting young consumers, but now there are a lot of custom tailoring studios. And none of us takes clothes without trying them on. And as for the price, if it’s textiles, that doesn’t mean it will be cheap. Leather trousers and jeans can cost, for example, 15,000 rubles and what to choose.
And also, the fact that in natural leather the body does not breathe is complete nonsense. As for artificial leather, I agree with the author. What is unacceptable after 50 are ripped jeans and mini skirts. The mini length is unacceptable for women over 50, neither leather nor textiles. Anyone who thinks you can’t look vulgar in fabric clothes is deeply mistaken.Even as possible with a mini skirt length, tight leggings, short shorts.
Of course, the clothes in these photos are too revealing and do not emphasize the dignity of these women. But believe me, if you wear correctly arranged leather items, one or maximum two, you can look expensive and status-worthy. I am 47 and I buy and will continue to buy leather items. And leather trousers with a top, my leather sundress with a black turtleneck, and a black leather dress look great on me. And today I bought leather shorts! And believe me, I will play them so well that no one will dare to say that I am not dressed for my age. Some young girls who do not know how to dress with taste look like old women.
Yes, of course, the article is stupid, what the author writes. Things must be arranged correctly. Not all young girls have an ideal figure. The author also writes that the body does not breathe in the skin. Encourages wearing textiles. Does the body breathe in synthetics? After all, in the market and in stores, textile clothing is sold from synthetics. There are, of course, made from pure cotton, but this is also very expensive. And what photos are selected here. It’s just that no one walks like that in life.
