Wearing Sexy Mini Skirts after 40!

Wearing sexy mini skirts after 40 is a practice I encourage as 40 is the new 50!If you are wearing mini skirts after 40 then you have probably turned some heads and probably enjoyed the attention as well. Some fashion "gurus" suggest that women should wear age appropriate clothing and women 40 and over should not dare go past that magic age and wear sexy clothing at such an "advanced" age. Also you should not be a "cougar" which is an older women who looks sexy and wears suggestive or sexy clothing after she is past her prime.

I admit I am of two mind when it comes to women wearing sexy clothes when they are grandmothers. My fashion side suggests that women should dress like women and girls can dress however they like. This is not to say that a girl can violate all standards of good taste and decorum but they certainly have the body to wear short skirts, tight tops and many other items that a woman in her 40's might consider avoiding. But is it the age or the condition of the wearer that decides what a woman should wear. Here is where I part with many of the fashionistas as I firmly believe a woman can and should wear whatever her body allows. This "fashion" side emerged from my mother giving such sage advice as "be sure you are wearing clean underwear in case you get in an accident. While this is good advice it also suggested not to wear white after labor day or nice girls don't wear high heels. This is the same as the advice that suggested I not wear false eyelashes or dye my hair blonde.





My other side suggests that I dress in in what I want, when I want as I am an adult. While there are extremely good reasons to follow fashion mom, I am not in love with the idea that I am in total agreement with the fashion lords and ladies. Sure I watch Project Runway and listen to every word Heidi Klum and Michael Kors as well as Nina Garcia has to say. I generallly agree with their professional opinion, but certainly not always. I tend to dress sexier than I should without being vulgar as that is creepy but have been known to go out without panties, wears 4-5 inch heels although they hurt my feet and love sexy bras and panties.

So should women wear sexy mini skirts after 40? Yes, Yes and Yes!First of all I love the looks from men and enjoy some of the looks women give me as I am sure they are not always complimentary. Am I in perfect shape? No, not really but I am not unattractive, and I try to stay in shape.Does it matter? Yes and no but I am not certain that should be the criteria. Could I wear full length mumus? Sure as I could wear pants which I hate, full length dresses which I detest or skorts which are simply horrid? I chose to wear sexy before sedate, seductive before dull and suggestive before matronly. No I am not one of those persons who loves spandex everything although a bit of spandex in a top is far better than cotton t-shirts that make every woman look sloppy!




While not everyone would agree, Michael, Nina and Heidi, lets not forget that in fashion one day you are in and the next day you are out! B.S. out here in reality fashion is somewhat important but be honest, take a look around. Women certainly more than men are concerned about fashion to a point. But is buying fake bags on Canal Street in N.Y. being fashion conscious? Is shopping at Abercrombie and Fitch being a slave to fashion. Haute couture is splendid but unattainable by most as well as irrelevant. I would much rather women make an occasional fashion faux pax than wear some of the ridiculous items on many runways that serve women little other than lining the pockets of some fashion designer.

Sexy Mini Skirts, Sexy Club Wear since the 1960's

Sexy mini skirts arrived in America in the early 1960's and have been making women look sexy and men look. The sexy mini skirt doesn't really require the word sexy to be attached as anyone can figure that out simply by looking at a woman wearing one and determine that for themselves. Controversy has followed the simple and short skirts as they are so short that a woman's legs are exhibited from the thigh to almost her panties and often those are on display. Perhaps it was inevitable that short skirts would be invented but who will actually wear them?


A recent survery showed that a skirts length increases slightly between the ages of 23 and 27, rising to 37 cm, possibly due to girls being in their first stable relationship, with no desire to attract attention.
However, it found short skirts suddenly zoom in popularity between the ages of 27 and 34, as those early relationships break down, and new relationships are formed.

The move into longer skirts begins irreversibly at 40 years old, when 46-cm skirts, still slightly above the knee are the norm. From then on, skirt length increases dramatically, falling below the knee for the very first time since school days at the age of 42.

The results show that it has jumped from an average age of 36-years-old at the start of millennium to 40 today. Figures from 1980 showed that on average women stopped buying minis when they reached 33 years old -- a figure unchanged from the mid-1960s.

The survey that experts believe that the popularity of intensive gym culture, providing women with well toned bodies for longer may be the reason.
