[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hair dyed in fad colors like pink or blue. It seems like there are countless women over 40 out there who thought it would make them look young and hip and edgy. Now I just think of it as old lady-ish when I see it. It doesn't look edgy at all, it looks like someone is trying way too hard and didn't have any real knowledge or understanding of what would look good. Also regarding the comments about short/long hair -- both can age you depending on the style; but not much is worse than limp, un-styled, long hair.

Definitely agree with everyone mentioning skinny jeans and tunics. I think people want to hide their waistline, which I can understand. But it screams unfashionable late middle age to me.

Also bright-colored cheap t-shirts; like in fuchsia, turquoise, etc. Especially paired with white capris.

I'm 5'7" and look fine in capris, but I wouldn't wear white ones. My sister is 5'4" and she does not. [/quote]

I live outside Chicago and the neon colored hair is like a middle class mom cliche here. Fuchsia hair + ironic band tank top + jean shorts, and usually with some tattoos. No one is mistaking you for a 20 something hipster, ladies.[/quote]

Wow I kind of want to see this! I don’t think I ever have. [/quote]

I see it on some “alternative” moms here but usually the older, semi-crunchy set, very liberal, etc. Short weird style hair, no makeup, ill fitting clothes either too big or too small, hair dyed blue or purple. It definitely marks you as a “certain age.” If you don’t care about that, fine. [/quote]

It’s mostly neoliberal Gen Xers who think magenta hair and a “Notorious RBG” tote bag makes them look cool [/quote]

They like it. It has nothing to do with looking cool. Do you not understand that?[/quote]
