There are many twenty-somethings that wear mini skirts and they look awful because they are heavy-set with cellulite on their legs from all their extra weight. Obviously they don't care how they look they are choosing to wear clothes they like.
Someone claimed that wearing sexy clothes on women over 35 is saying all she wants is sex? My husband likes seeing me in stylish sexy clothes. So I should dress like a frump to ward-off other men who only believe I want sex because these men are immature and ignorant? And what about the women under 35 who dress sexy? They don't attract these same clowns?
I'm in my late 40's and myself and most of my closest friends have worked out staying fit our entire lives even after children. We all look great head to toe. I have a 53 year old friend who has 6 children (her last at 47) and her body looks better than most of her teenage daughters friends because she cares about herself and takes care of herself.
I wear clothes I like, look good on me, and that are in style - period.
I don't believe I should be dressing in clothes that I wore in the mid 80's or 90's because I lived during those years how absurd.
Clothing is a personal choice. If a women over 40 is confident and secure in her life society (or maybe better said small-minded people) should not be dictating what she wears in her free time.

• I agree, I think it depends on the woman and not the age. Congrats for still rocking the mini skirts!

It depends on what the woman wants people to think of her. Some women like being sexually arousing to men, and some just can't accept the fact that they are getting older and want to try to keep looking as young as they can. Since the legs are the last things to go, as the say, women who feel their upper bodies are showing the effects of aging will use mini skirts as a way to detract attention to the part of their body that doesn't look older. This is almost always a mistake, and almost always just ends up making them look foolish.
I personally think that women over 35 should not wear mini skirts at all, because at about age 35, your age definitely starts to show, and mini skirts simply look like you're trying to look too young for your age. A woman who works in a professional setting, no matter what the age, should never wear a mini skirt to work, as it undermines her professional image.
If a woman looks in the mirror and doesn't see someone in their 20's anymore, it's time to give the mini skirts to Goodwill. A mini skirt and sexy clothes in general on older women only gives one message, and that is that they are looking for sex.

I can't wait to get back into my mini skirt. I used to wear them all the time. There are so many styles of skirt that I think that they can be worn until middle age or until your teen is embarrassed to walk down the street with you. I say that if you are older and can get away with wearing the miniskirt then you should. It is the busty shirts that I think you should quit wearing as you age. By the time you get into your 50's, it is time to start buttoning up the blouses.

It depends on what you want to communicate in public and in private.
Behind closed doors, you might want to wear mini-skirts your whole life for you and your special someone. In public, it depends on your job and life style. A biker lady might want to flirt indefinitely. A business woman might get bad outcomes from the mini-skirt. But anyway you look at it, mini-skirts say sexy and flirty very clearly.

I'd say as long as she's willing to put up with come-ons from men! If an older woman still has nice legs and the self-confidence to wear them, and feels comfortable in them, then she should wear them if she wants to. But not to the office; that's not appropriate for anybody.
