Age, Style & Hemlines
Posted: Sat Aug 19, 2023 9:55 am
As a full blown fashion freestyler, near obsessed with how I present myself in public, I’ve developed a serious taste of late for skirts and dresses with mid-shin hemlines. Perhaps it’s my mindset as someone in my mid-sixties, but, I’ve come to appreciate long hemlines as classy and stylish, befitting a man of my advanced years. And, as part of that aforementioned mindset, when I’ve gone shopping, I’ve looked for dresses (which I’m all but wearing exclusively on my outings these days) that are at least knee length, if not longer.
Don’t get me wrong, I can still very much rock a miniskirt, and I definitely have the legs to pull it off, but, I feel more comfortable, more at ease with myself in longer styles, I firmly believe midiskirts exemplify who I am, and the style I choose to display to the public. Again, it’s all about being classy and looking my very best while out and about, perhaps some might say my current style is dull and/or dowdy, that’s perfectly fine, I don’t mind that at all, I know what I like, and this suits me greatly. I find it great fun how long skirts swish and swirl about my legs as I walk, how they go well with either flat shoes or high heels, there’s a certain level of elegance that comes with what I wear, and I certainly enjoy looking, and feeling elegant.
Now, does this mean I’ll never wear miniskirts/minidresses again? To be perfectly honest, I don’t know. I still like showing off my legs from time to time, but, as a person of a certain age, I prefer the truly classy look that comes from wearing longer hemlines. Is age conducive to what hem length a skirt wearer should and can wear? That's up to the person and his own personal tastes. What do you think?
