No one is suggesting that 60 year old women be relegated to the the mu-mu, but they should select clothes appropriate for their age.

Last year, my husband and I were at a college football game, and I noticed this woman sitting a few rows ahead of us. She was in her mid- to late 50's. She had a great figure, and was dressed in navy slacks and a navy and white striped sweater. She was a lovely woman. She had a very strong Lauren Bacall/Audrey Hepburn air about her. In the midst of these hoochie-mama co-eds that were all over the place with their wine cooler bellies and love handles spilling out over skirts that were too tight and under shirts that were too short, who do my husband notice? The elegantly dressed older woman whose grace and sophistication
put the smackdown on young girls who were too stupid to know the difference between being attractive and looking like a $20 streetwalker.

I'm glad to hear SOMEONE was dressed decently!

(Again, it's not "age", it's "class" that counts.)

I'm not in a position to tell other people what they should or should not do, but I do share your opinion about appropriately selected clothing.

My only comment to you is that there is tremendous space in between your elegantly dressed woman and the 20 dollar streetwalker. I don't see this as an either/or proposition.
