A FASHIONISTA has rubbished the suggestion that people should dress their age – and fans are going wild in the comments.
Mum-of-two Samantha, 55, racked up thousands of followers after she started posting fashion content online.
Samantha, who describes herself as “sassy”, “sexy” and “unapologetic”, revealed she often raids her 19-year-old daughter’s wardrobe – and looks incredible doing so.
The fitness lover, who keeps her figure toned thanks to hot yoga and gym, is “turning heads” with her bold fashion choices.
Whether that’s her teen’s metallic mini dress or a busty Marylin Monroe-style number, Samantha can certainly pull it all off.
While many of us wear our comfy sweatshirts and joggers when working from home, the mum makes sure she looks fabulous even at her home office too.
Rather than chilling in a pair of PJs, she will be working on her laptop wearing a figure-hugging mini dress.
Her office attire is just as fierce, with tight leather leggings and heels making heads turn.
The gorgeous mum-of-two is proof that style doesn’t have an age limit and you should wear whatever makes you feel good.
Samantha, who also owns a sexy leather one-piece, said she is “not shy to try different styles” – or post the daring looks online.
“Actually I have always worn leather – I just haven’t stopped,” she told her followers.
The TikToker, who works in the corporate world and has two daughters, recently left social media users with their jaws on the floor after showing off her enviable figure in a teeny dress.
The knitted dress, she revealed in the video, belonged to one of her daughters who is 19 and boasted a very leggy display.
The colourful item, which sat way above her knees, featured a flattering neckline – and Samantha was keen to rock it in public.
“I need to wear this out ! Only worn inside the house so far,” the 55-year-old wrote in the caption.
The mother-of-two, who posts under the username @samanthastyletips, later added she was even considering keeping the mini dress for herself.
Posted just three days ago, the clip has racked up more than 200k views – and although Samantha is married, there were plenty of Romeos in the comments.
“That’s pure magic! Lucky husband,” wrote one fan.
“Not a day over 36,” another refused to believe her age.
“You’re rocking it beautiful!” someone else chimed in.
“All I can say is WOW,” a fourth was mesmerised.
8 clothes mistakes giving your age away
By Fabulous’ Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend
Crossbody bag
Just a bag, right? Think again.
The politics of your handbag choice is more complex than it appears.
If you spent your younger years cramming everything into an over-the-shoulder bag, you’ve probably transitioned to a crossbody bag by now, much like Sarah Jessica Parker, 59.
You might opt for a crossbody that rests at the hip or higher up.
A longer strap suggests you belong to Gen X or the baby boomer generation.
A shorter strap, referred to as the “millennial Birkin” by TikTokers, indicates you’re in your thirties or early forties.
Interestingly, Gen Z – who typically carry just a phone and keys – now favor the slim shoulder bags we adored in the Nineties.
French tuck
In the early 2000s, the term “French tuck” was popularized by male stylists on the show Queer Eye For The Straight Guy. It describes the Parisian-inspired look of tucking in the front of your shirt while leaving the sides and back untucked.
The 42-year-old Duchess of Sussex, a millennial, embraces this style. However, older generations, as well as Gen Z, typically prefer a full tuck.
The hashtag “Gen Z vs Millennial Shirt Tuck” has garnered 71.2 million posts, with younger users advocating for tucking everything in to accentuate the waistline.
If you’re Gen X or a baby boomer, kudos for consistently opting for a full tuck—you’re right on trend!
Short denim jacket
Throwing a denim jacket over your floral midi dress and pairing white trainers with a leather Radley rucksack might be your go-to ensemble. However, it also reveals your age.
According to Gen Z, the classic short denim jacket with chest pockets and occasional rips or embellishments is outdated. This might spell bad news for Amanda Holden, 53.
The trend now leans towards oversized denim jackets sourced from pricey vintage shops. The hashtag “Faded leather jacket” has amassed over 450 million views on TikTok.
So, it’s time to dig out your oversized biker or denim jacket from the Eighties or Nineties.
Trainer sock
Layering a denim jacket over your floral midi dress and pairing white trainers with a leather Radley rucksack might be your signature style. But it also reveals your age.
Gen Z declares that the typical short denim jacket with chest pockets and occasional rips or embellishments is passé. This could be unfortunate news for Amanda Holden, 53.
The current trend favors oversized denim jackets from expensive vintage stores. The hashtag “Faded leather jacket” has garnered over 450 million views on TikTok.
So, it’s time to bring out your oversized biker or denim jacket from the Eighties or Nineties.
Mom’s Jeans
The most divisive denim trend is mom jeans, named after the moms of the Eighties. Think of Rachel from Friends and Cindy Crawford.
Though this tapered, ankle-length style made a comeback in the 2010s and has been seen on fashion-forward models like Kendall Jenner, twenty-somethings on TikTok aren’t thrilled when older generations sport this look.
They consider it a major fashion faux pas and suggest opting for wide-leg or barrel-leg jeans instead.
Converse
From Sixties rocker Danny Zuko in Grease to Noughties icons like Alexa Chung and Rihanna, Converse All Stars have been a footwear staple for decades. Originally designed in 1922, these trainers have a long history.
However, Gen Z wouldn’t be caught dead in them. If you’re still holding onto your pair, you’re definitely not in your twenties.
Today’s trendy trainers include chunky “Dad” styles and vibrant designs from top brands like Nike, New Balance, and Adidas.
Another sign of your age is tucking your laces inside your shoes instead of tying them.
Mini Skirt
Mary Quant revolutionised women’s fashion in 1958 with the creation of the miniskirt. However, if you’re sporting one today, it might be considered outdated.
Unless it’s a micro-skirt with a crotch-skimming hemline, which is the length favored by Gen Z. Heavily influenced by the Noughties’ “skelt” (a skirt-belt), the micro-mini is taking over TikTok.
If you prefer a more modest miniskirt that sits a few inches above the knee, reminiscent of the style popularized by ’90s celebrities like Melanie Sykes, now 53, you’ll look lovely—but you might as well have your age written on your forehead.
Wrap Dresses
It’s been fifty years since designer Diane Von Furstenberg introduced the wrap dress, and it has certainly endured, with icons like Madonna, the Princess of Wales, and Michelle Obama, now 60, embracing the style.
However, Gen Z has declared the look passé, meaning you won’t spot a twentysomething wearing one on a night out in your town.
On social media, the wrap dress is predominantly seen on women over 30. While it flatters the waist, bust, and stomach, TikTok deems it uncool.
Gen Z prefers cottagecore, favoring milkmaid-style dresses perfect for whimsical strolls through sunlit meadows.
