I always catch him wearing my jeans. I’ve told him over 40 times before to stop taking my clothes without asking me. His defense is always "Mine don’t fit" when he had his brown pair of jeans laying right there on his chair that he wore last week and they clearly fit him. If I go shopping for new jeans, they will be the same size and he will take those too. What do I do?

For all of us over 40 clothes shoppers….?

Pritikin Recipes

Have you ever noticed that fashion very rarely caters to those of us who still want to be fashionable…without looking like we’re trying to deny our age? I’m 50 now, and in pretty decent shape for my age…I still fit into a size 8…but, EVERY time I go clothes shopping, my only choices seem to be ones that I can’t try on without either laughing at my reflection in the mirror because I just look like I’m ‘trying too hard’….or crying at it because it looks like I’ve just ‘given up’…whatever happened to ‘classic fit?
Bellepepper: Exactly! Two inch zippers…LOL! I’m 5’9-1/2" so you know how far those low rise jeans ride on ME…no thank you! Cap sleeves are out too…I have "bat wings" where my triceps used to be and it isn’t pretty.
Bren: You’re right…J. Jill and Soft Surroundings have some amazing stuff…unique yet classic…but I’m a little more of a casual kinda girl…lol!

For older (over 40) women: Are you having a hard time finding clothes that look good on older mature women?

Pritikin Recipes

My son fusses at me all the time saying I dress like an old lady and thinks I would look better in some of the new styles. I am ready for a change but I just want to know if anyone else in the middle age group and older is having a hard time finding clothes that look good/right on you? I have tried on countless clothes of this newer style and hate the way the clothes are now. They are either made for women that have wonderful figures or are made for younger women and look stupid on someone my age. They are also made out of very cheap material, have large patterned designs, are very low cut, are clingy and are supposed to fit tightly or are made for tall people (I’m very short, 4’11"). I am not in perfect shape and the last thing I will wear is something that clings to all the places I don’t want to show! If I do see styles I like, they are in the large women’s section and are too big for me. If you are having this problem, let me know. Also, if you have found a place with clothes that better suit our size and age but are not horribly expensive, let me know. I wonder if there is anything we can do about this? Have any ideas? I am just so very frustrated and want to see if anyone else is feeling this way and if you have found a place with clothing that is appropriate. Thanks for your answers! I will pick a best answer.

measurements:40/36/43-big all over especially my thighs. What shape am I and what will look best on me?

I recently gained another 20 lbs. I was already not happy with my weight but now I always feel like people are staring at me and I get self-conscious. I know I need to shop for new clothes but I feel discouraged and frustrated when nothing fits me. I need to know what clothes will look best on me so I know what to look for.
