Wear your sleeveless dresses, ladies. After a lifetime of living, you deserve it. And do your arm and shoulder exercises, not for that dress, but to lift bags of groceries or open a heavy door. Moisture, self-tan if you wish. But take care of that maturing body. It has done a lot for you over the years. So treat it with respect.

I have embraced my age and aging body , and have no problem wearing sleeveless tops. If its offensive to others, don't look.

As an accomplished seamstress, let me say that raising an armhole is NOT a simple job! Even worse if you're busty.

I’d like to see a model with floppy bats wings for arms!

I apologise for the lengthy comment. This is such great advice, thank you so much. It's pretty hot here in the UK at the moment and this is the first year I've hesitated about going sleeveless and it upset me greatly even though I'm now 76 years old. I have always been very slim 7st 4lbs and have moisturised since my teens and luckily my arms have kept pretty well. They've never really bothered me before but this morning after dressing in a sleeveless summer dress i looked in the mirror and thought oh oh, my upper arms seemed to have detereated in one year and they worried me enough to immediately change into one with elbow length sleeves but i was so uncomfortably hot i immediately changed back into the sleeveless dress. I decided it was nobody else's business but mine and being uncomfortably hot was far far worse than worrying about my upper arms and the strange thing was i even received quite a few compliments today. Thank you so much for the brilliant advice. 🇬🇧

You had good tips. However, your models were tall, and they had thin arms. It would be nice to see someone who was 5 foot 2” and a size 14, instead of a model who is tall and thin.

Please use a model with stringy crepey upper arms like mine. Older models with lovely arms don't count❤

14:31 Trick number 5 about creating a visual stop point at the wrist is an absolute game-changer! 😍 The way you explained the visual perception principle is so brilliant and easy to understand. It’s magical how a simple bracelet or watch can completely transform how the arms look in photos. No more camera shyness! Thank you for such an elegant and valuable tip for us women. ✨ Pure elegance and confidence! 💖

I have recently realized that I slouch more in my 60s. I've been working on "opening my chest". But I love seeing those bold scarves and necklaces. Kind of a "duh" moment for me. Draw the eyes to something pretty, like curb appeal.

Useful and reasonable. The artificial voice and its mispronunciations is annoying, though. Is it so hard to narrate your own video?

The other day, before I left the house, I did a twirl in the full length mirror and mainly focused on how good I looked in my new top.
Three hours later I arrived home and only then discovered that I had been wearing odd shoes while out and about. 🤷‍♂️

Over my lifetime (had chubby arms in my youth) I’ve learned to use all of these, and I applaud you for sharing them in such a supportive way. One additional trick I try to use as often as possible is what I’ll call the “tank sleeve” trick. Essentially, I look for sleeveless dresses (tops too) that have sleeves cut in toward the centerline a bit more than others, like a tank-style shirt. I’ve found this design feature tends to slim the arms. It shouldn’t look exaggerated at all, just slightly more cut in toward the neck. It works quite well, especially if you use some of the other tricks with it! Statement necklace, bracelets. Any kind of crepey skin eraser cream/lotion doesn’t hurt. But you do have to be consistent and I tend to be lazy. LOL!

I started wearing sleevless dresses and blouses a long time ago around the house and than outside around neighbors and to the stores I feel just fine now at 67 and at this age we are considered invisible 😅 but that's not my story ,I'm seen and I'm valued .

This is a fabulous video. I've not worn sleeveless tops for years because of my wrinkly arms. Watching this video has given me the confidence to go out there and do it, to wear a sleeveless top. I'm 75 years old. Thank you x

This was exactly what I needed! 🙌 I’m definitely trying the wrist bracelet trick and finally wearing that sleeveless dress. ❤️

This channel always reminds me that style has no expiration date.

I remember stressing coming into a teaching room that the AC was broken. I was soo hot and was really distressed that I had to take my jacket off. My teaching partner said "They are just arms! Not nuclear weapons!" I will be trying these tricks to help remember that!😂

@TeddyTaylor100 3 months ago

These are helpful tips, but if your upper arms are crepey, like mine are, there's nothing left but to cover them up. I'm always on the lookout now for elbow-length sleeves, but they aren't readily available.

Where have you been for the last 6 years of my life? I’m 45 years old in a 66 year old body! I love sleeveless everything. I love shorts. I love in NC where the humidity is ridiculous. Thank you! I’m now one of your groupies❣️Do you have a video on shorts?

I really appreciated the message behind this video. It was refreshing to see practical styling advice that focuses on confidence rather than perfection. The tips were elegant, realistic, and a great reminder that style is about feeling comfortable and beautiful in your own skin.
