Is it appropriate for a 50-year old Divorcee with grown children to wear white at her second wedding?

best hair color for 50 year old woman image

Ms. Tradit

One of my dear friends recently got married and when I saw his wife-to-be walk down the aisle wearing an all white gown that was designed for a 20-something year-old body, I couldn't help but feel that it was very inappropriate - almost lacking etiquette, class or taste. This was the second marriage for both and they both have grown children. Am I really that old-fashioned?

Answer
I was a 53 years old divorcee with four adult children when I married for the second time.

I wore garnet red....I felt at my age, while white is just another color, to wear a gown of any color designed for a young woman would look ludicrous on me... and make my age glaringly apparent in a rather very unflattering way.

It certainly would have been tasteless...one should dress appropriate to one's age to look one's best at ANY AGE......

When I was growing up in the 60's we had a group of 60+ ladies the town called "The Go-Go Grandmas " They wore tight very short mini skirts, fishnet stockings, huge dangle earrings, white go-go boots and long flowing hair as if they were a mere 16 years old.....OMG if they only KNEW how they looked to others...it made them look so 'OLD' and not too classy either....


However, their choice.

You are not old fashioned, dear....just sensible with a better grasp of both reality and style than the bride was-who is probably the type who dresses way too 'young' for her age.
She should have gone for a sophisticated rather than a Miss Haversham look...sweet, innocent young styles look silly on a mature body. It does NOT make one look youthfull..it makes them far older than they are.

Once your friend sees how she looks in her pix, unless she has convinced herself she looked young, she may be very disappointed so please, do not say anything as long as she is happy.

Does your hair texture change as you get older?

I've noticed that alot of older women (40's & 50's) have hair that looks really hard and crispy and fried. Like their hair just doesn't feel soft at all, it just feels so hard and it doesn't move. Helmet hair basically.

Is it because they are using hair spray or is it because of their age?

Answer
Not exactly. It may dry out a little bit. And gray hair does have a slightly coarser texture than natural colored hair. This is because the older you get, the more dried out your skin will be. If you have dry skin you typically also have dry hair. So because your skin is not producing those oils like it did when you were younger, your hair is suffering from lack of natural oils.

Their hair probably looks crispy and fried because of what they're doing to it. My mom is 51 and her hair is gorgeous and silky. She colors it at home herself with a semi-permanent hair color at the most once a year. My mother-in-law, 55 years old on the other hand, changes her hair color...and I'm not joking about this, every 3 weeks with permanent dye...I'm really surprised it hasn't fallen out. And it's condition is so bad. Dry, frizzy. It looks very unhealthy.

If you take care of your hair it will not look bad when you're older. Of course, all you'd have to do if it did look that bad is hold off on the products until it all grew out.
