Joan Collins says British women have given up trying to look good.

And that is why I think it's important to focus on body type and not age. To say there is a rule that after forty a woman has to wear or not wear (fill in the blank) I think is ludicrous.

As for Joan Collins' original point, I agree that making an effort to look one's best is a nice thing. I also agree that muffin tops are not easy on the eyes, but I see those on people of all ages, men included. Me too! Darn Christmas cookies.

The actual cut of the top, though - I think some styles look good on some young women and not others and generally not good on more mature women at all. Its not actually very MANY styles that are limited this way though. And yes very in-shape older women can break some of these rules.

I agree, Viola. I retired the miniskirts while I still had the legs for them. I'd rather inspire admiration than snickers.

But this isn't always about age, rather, the shape one is in.
