We certainly don't need click bait articles and newspapers telling us what the over 50s should and should not wear! And we don't really want to wear elasticated skirts, except on Christmas Day.
What we really hate is being represented by pictures of people in their 80s with walking sticks, or described as "grandmothers", "ageing gracefully" or "silver surfers." Would these epithets be applied to men over 50 by the media? No.
The title, "Is this Mutton?" refers to a saying in the UK, "mutton dressed as lamb," usually applied to older women in a derogatory sense. Consequently, women over the age of 40 are made to worry about looking like mutton.
The blog was created by Gail, a woman in London whose background includes journalism and marketing director.
Her intention is to showcase fashion from every outlet and price point, except designer, while trying to avoid retailers notorious for "fast fashion" and the poor ethical practices this usually involves.
