After 70 should I show off my legs?

After 70 should I show off my legs? I’m 71 and still have soft smooth attractive legs. Can I still show them off some or is it finally time to retire to just slacks?

After 70 you can show off beautiful legs!!! Age is just a number. If you have great legs and a good shape, with a youthful attitude, you can definitely wear shorter style skirts and dresses.

A short skirt or dress looks glam with tights or darker stockings and looks youthful on older gals. Usually lower heel shoes look good with short hemlines on divas after 70.

Opt for dresses with clean lines and not overly short (avoid mini skirts).

What is the proper skirt length in relation to your knees?
There is no one skirt length that is proper for everyone. Everyone has to experiment and check their mirror to see what length(s) is most flattering on them. Height, weight, age and skirt style have to be taken into consideration when choosing a proper skirt length. In general tall women can wear longer-length skirts (mid-calf) and short women look better in shorter skirts around knee length or a little above the knee 2″ to 4″. Your weight is another factor in determining a proper skirt length. Thin women can wear knee-length skirts but heavier women look better in skirts that are just below the knee. As you age your knees and legs change and you may prefer a little longer skirt length that covers part or all of your knees. Young women can wear shorter skirts because their legs usually look great. Knee-length skirts that fit properly work for most women and are in good taste.

How can I determine what hemline is best for me?

Hemlines go up and down. The length of your hemline should be determined by your height, what figure type you have and the occasion for which you are wearing the outfit rather than your age or trends. Most women find “at the knee” the most flattering hem length. At the knee means a little above the knee, at mid knee or a little below the knee. The best way to decide on a hem length is to try different lengths on and look in a mirror. In general mini or micro mini skirts are not very flattering if you are over 25. Short women should avoid midi length skirts. The taller you are the longer your hem can be and still look flattering, try a mid calf length. Accentuate the positive. Knees can be ugly and you do not want them to be exposed.
