I think it would look perfectly appropriate for any age as long as it is flattering to one's figure (maybe not on someone very short). I'm not short but it's too long even for me.

Disagree.  You do not need a flat tummy for this style top.  It hides the tummy.

Floats gently away from the body.


You need a defined waistline and this top would just emphasize it if you don't @RespectLife . If it flowed it would not be cut for an hourglass figure. The waistline is nipped in.


Still totally disagree @Trinity11  !!   LOL

 

My closet is full of tops like this and I have NO waistline.  Like Lori G, I am shaped like a tree trunk! ha ha.

 

Completely gives the illusion I have a waistline!!

 

We will have to agree to disagree on this.

Yes, if you are tall and thin.  I agree with someone said it would look like you were looking back at hippie days;  I am 80, and I like some of those styles!  I love bright colors, as we get older we need bright colors.  I could not wear it because I am 5'4", and short waisted, so I would look dumpy in it, but I wish I could.

@Trinity11  I certainly agree with you. I love this style and have a few dresses made that way. They certainly show off my waistline. True hourglass.

I think it''s cute! I'm 72 and have something similar from Soft Surroundings. I don't wear it often because it does make a statement. I'm not much of a leggings girl but I think they're a must with this. It's got lots of volume in the bottom so something sleek would be necessary. I say that, if you like it, wear it with confidence. I grew up in the days of the hippies so this look always catches my attention.

I say if it will make you happy and it fits you correctly, go for it!  Life is way too short and I have never, ever gave a hoot what people think.
