All my pants are perfect fit by Ll Bean. Many tees from Amazon and tops from Susan Graver---that's it for me.

I do have skirts and tops from Linea, George Simonton and Susan Graver, shoes SAS.

Hardly buy anymore, no jewelry, tops all too long----shop my closet.

I am 71----do buy skin care.

@bargainsgirl   I agree, nothing on QVC compares with the design and quality that we were privileged to purchase from Linea.  Timeless, classic, ageless design.  I do miss Linea.

I think style has changed drastically in the last few years.  Not much tailored stuff anymore.  Everything is more laid back and casual.  Does mature mean no jeans and tshirts?  Then count me as immature.  But I don't dress like my granddaughters either, no rips or belly showing. 😄

I wear jeans and tshirts all the time.  As I stated,  I do not like frills , uneven hemlines, frayed edges, that type of thing.  I do not need to dress like my 6 year old granddaughter.

... I do love Marla Wynne on HSN, I particularly love her color palettes.  Her merchandise is $$_ so I buy strategically and mix them with other items.

I second the Marla Wynne suggestion - I find her line to be timeless and stylish and quite age-neutral, but definitely appropriate for us "over 70" Gals.

I agree about the ruffles, frills & flutter sleeves.  I can't stand any of them!  I also prefer a more tailored and sophisticated look.  I think it's a better term than "mature" which makes me think old.

ETA:  I just turned 69 so I am not far behind you.

For years I had a well coordinated closet of business attire and other dressy outfits.   I was pretty much ready for anything.   

Fast forward to current day, and with all the at home remote work happening, I don't recall the last time I saw a woman in "business attire".

I still have a good closet, and need very little season to season, but still like to "freshen up" each season.

To me, it's not about mature, young, old or anything age-related.  

To me, purchasing anything I actually need, one consideration is always "Is it CONTEMPORARY"?

Amen!  I'm 80 but I don't let that number dictate how I dress.

Absolutely 100%! Since Covid, gone are stylish, tailored, more formal clothing. What we have now is slouchy, oversized, informal clothing. I like to dress well, and so many of the relaxed trends are not for me.

I see very little, if anything right now on Q that appeals to me. I don't think anyone is looking for "old lady clothes" I think the word "updated" is what we would like to see.....not trendy or young.

No ruffles or puffy sleeves. No tunics.

If only the mauve and antique rose....could be replaced with some happier colors...not neon or garish, but some bright, non-depressing colors.
Black-and-white patterns are always good and have seen a few on Q.

Isaac does the best with colors IMO.

Because I am 70 does not mean I have to wear pastels.  I look like a cadaver in pastels, so would love to see some rich colors in tops.  I think all ages can wear happy colors.
