From the article: Top 5 Things a Grown Woman Should Never Wear
Pigtails and overalls are for little kids. But what else do you hate seeing on a grown woman? Share Age-Appropriate Tip
Grown Women Should....
- Grown Women should never wear those horrible "maternity" shirts that made their appearance a few years ago and have unfortunately never left. And if any of you actually FIND shirts that do not have that expectant mother look - call me OK? I was so happy to see all the comments! I sometimes feel so alone in the fashion department. Where are the cottons and linens? Why is everything made from thin stretchy fabrics that are petroleum based?

I completely disagree
- I am a member of my local Roller Derby league, and the fashion of our women ranges from conservative to outlandish. All our girls are hot! These rules are just another attempt from the prudish and bitter telling others how they should behave. Shame on you.

It never works
- "They are wearing way too much makeup, tops too low or tight, wanting to dress like and act like an 18 year old. If they only knew they are losing their childhood years, the best of them. There are some very trendy clothes for young girls and accessories to go with them that they should perhaps consider." First you bag women for 'trying to look younger' then you bag the teenagers for trying to look older? Which is it? Are sexy clothes for younger women, or for older women. I say if you are over the legal age, and you feel good in it wear it. If people are giving you funny looks, consult a fashion advisor to make sure your clothes aren't clashing. Don't worry about being perpendicular to tradition.

- Women of all ages should be able to wear what they feel good in. Yes, it should fit and cover you, but why can't women over age 40 or 50 wear minis if they look good in them? The new 30 is 40. I know lots of women in thier 40's and 50's who can get away with fashions my mother would never wear at the same age. Don't let the "fashion police" stop you if you look good, feel good and it's a good fit. Go for it girl and women!!

- Women of all ages should dress appropriately for their body type and age. Wear the right size, don't show cleavage (unless at a club),or don't dress so that your youth wanting its clothes back.

Jealous?!?
- Yeah, that's right! In this day and age, what right do we have to tell anyone what to/not to wear? Jeans with heels? Sure. Mini-skirt? If you got the legs for it, why not! I am sick and tired of reading the posts that do nothing but criticize what other women wear. For Pete's sake, if you want to see something a grown woman should not wear, look at some of this so-called couture "creations" (there are links to many right here, in Women's Fashion. Now THAT's something you can rave about but I would not be caught dead in. I'd agree with some of the posters here who said if a woman has a great figure and a pretty face to go with that, she can pull off pretty much any look - even the un-tucked shirts under sweaters (let's dispense with the old-fashioned "tuck it in" thingy, shall we). It is the ones that are obese and wearing clothes 4 sizes too small, now that is disgusting. Other than that, I'd say live and let live. Even in real fur!

Old habits due die
- Back in my teen years (I won't tell how long) my grandmother taught us girls that a grown woman never goes out of the house without her hose, heels, and a nice dress. Too bad that old habit had to die a rough death. It's time for us to look glamorous again!!!!!!!

Anything that makes the butt look bigger
- Baggy pants or flaired skirts. Also most women don't have attractive knees. Most should be covered with something. The lower part of the leg is usually sexy as long as it's not oversized.
