I'm 70 and I'd wear it in a heartbeat ♥ - I actually have a few tops that are similar.

 

Colors and bright patterns make me feel happy, and I don't give a rip what anyone else says or thinks about my fashion choices.

I'm 74 and it's a bit much for my taste - all those colors and prints!!!  But the style would look great on me - accentuates my smaller waist.  It would give me a great hourglass figure!

No.  At that age I would not.  Makes you look like you think you are younger than you are.  There's a saying for that:

Do you wear a lot of prints?   Some prints are just too busy, but it depends on whether solids look a lot better on you.

 

I guess the best way to describe it is because sometimes it doesn't look like the woman is wearing the garment, the garment is wearing her.   Highly individual, but I hope my point is clear.

Would that be the same for those who color their gray hair?

 

There are those who think it makes them look 20 years younger without gray hair.

I saw a woman in church who was about seventy. She was wearing one of those "baby doll" dresses with high waist, puffy sleeves, ruffled hemline well above the knee. She caught my eye because of the incongruity between her face, hair, skin vs the teenage vibe of the dress. My very first thought was "trying too hard". I don't ever want to be like that.

I say go fot it.   No matter your age, there are some people who can pull off a certain look or style and someone else the same edge couldn't.  My mom is soon to be 88 and doesn't dress like a "typical" 88 year old.  She looks young for her age and wears younger looking clothing.  She  receives tons of compliments on her style.

It's classic tunic top that would accommodation anyone, at any age.  It would also work on any figure type.
