Anything can look 'matronly'. Just depends on how something is styled. That makes all the difference in the world.

To me 'matronly' is what the women on The Golden Girls wore.

I felt the women on Golden Girls dressed for their age and always looked nice. Nothing was matronly looking to me.

Agree @SeaMaiden .  Sophia was matronly, but the 3 ladies always dressed nice - especially Blanche.

@San Antonio Gal I always liked Bea Author's outfits...she was a tall plus size lady and everything she wore fit and flattered her figure beautifully.

Matronly to me is Denim & Company.

And Quacker Factory...

@SeaMaiden   Oh yes, forgot about Quaker Factory!   That one is even worse!!

But I liked their outfits! Totally appropriate for their ages.

@SeaMaiden So would you rather see a lot of older women in what, hot pants?  Denim and company is pants and tops, and a few dresses.  So we're back to my definition of clothing a Kardashian wouldn't wear.  

I am getting that it is bad to be over 55 and wear clothing because you look matronly. . . or respectable?  It's all age shaming beause really, what are you supposed to wear to the post office?

[My3fatcats]

Oh. I'd just call that modest.
