Older women seem to be caring less about what people think about their appearance, despite other age groups feeling less confident than they did a decade ago, a Guardian writer suggests. This is not to imply that they don’t want to present themselves in fashionable and stylish ways like their younger counterparts – just that “they’ve probably grown a little tired of the narrow societal expectations of having to look the youngest they possibly can”. There is a “growing and healthier trend where more women openly discuss their age, the challenges of growing older and how to maximise their years without necessarily prioritising beauty”.
