Don't the French wear tunics? That's what I see older women wearing, color-coordinated with pants, and I see some of that in catalogs, too. A long, shaped tunic looks pretty good on anyone. Those big billowy blouses, including the one the vlogger considers "chic", aren't something I see women wearing. I don't know where she got that idea.

Who are these videos for, anyway? French women? North American women? "Western" women in general? Maybe she's picking up on regional styles around the US and/or EUrope, but outfits like that purple number aren't anything I've seen women 60+ wearing. Maybe in Florida or the Mid-West?

Tunics are fine if you're tall. They make us medium or shorter women look like our legs have shrunk.

You've never seen women in those horrid clam diggers? I've lived in Denver and Indianapolis and those things are everywhere in the summer.

Thanks for pointing that out. There is no one-size-fits-all solution; I should know that.

And THAT is what matters, more than what a YouTuber pushes for views and $.

I'm a proud wearer of capris in the summer. Luckily, I dress for me and not for anyone else. There are times I don't want to wear long pants, and I look horrid in shorts, so capris are the compromise.

I'm curious ... what do you think they should be wearing?

IDK I wear what I want. Free People and Everlane tops, shirts, pants and jeans, sweaters from Banana Republic and there is no way I've giving up my Birkenstocks-I have 90 pair and love them all.

I do have dozens pairs of Tod's drivers and loafers and same for Ferragamo flats.

Some might think I don't dress for my age - 68 (thank God I don't) or dress weird. I say, the weirder the better.

I wear Alexis Bittar jewelry every day, pride jewelry and a few bits of Kendra Scott. Italian sandals and purses from Everlane and Marc Jacobs. Throw on one of my three Hermes scarves for a bit of flair.

Lucky to just not care what others think of me, no one to impress.
