Way to not wrap it all up neatly with a bow in a tidy conclusion. As a law professor, I often feel that if I've raised more questions than answers, I've done my job well. Your thoughtful and succinct summary of questions is insightful. Thank you.
I am in a quandary about grandmother clothes. I am a grandmother and will be 70 in a few weeks. I love cute shoes khaki, skirts and jeans. Striped tops fisherman sweaters. Funky glasses. And have been veering towards metallic oxfords. I’ve taken your advice about buying better and not more so should I try for more grandmotherly ....or I’m there?
Thanks for this thoughtful piece. For me, now in my 50s, it is about what I like and feel good in rather than what is “flattering” or trendy. Many times I feel invisible to young people, and there is a freedom in that. The pressure to conform to current fashions is considerably reduced.

Definitely no answers here! There’s a lot to think about.

Wear what you love, regardless of age! You style sounds cool and fun, and if you're a grandmother then I guess it's grandmotherly 😍

I agree, there's so much freedom in caring less what others think.
