Why Is Style Important, Even Now?

When the Coronavirus invaded our world, fashion and style seemed to pale in comparison to the serious issues that we suddenly had to deal with.  Many fashion bloggers wondered if what they had to offer was important.  So why is style important, even now?  I found some answers.

The first thing that I thought to do as a fashion and lifestyle blogger for women over 60 (age doesn’t matter; we all have the same basic needs) was to address the issues of health and well being, physically and emotionally.  But then, I wanted to reassure you that style is indeed important.  I am talking personal style here, not fashion.  We don’t need to keep up with the latest fashions during a pandemic.

“Fashion is not art; it’s the art of living.” — Marc Jacobs

But style is artistic and creative.  And creativity and art are personally fulfilling and inspirational, thereby reducing stress — something needed especially at a time like this.  It is good for your mental and emotional health to distract yourself from anxious thoughts and focus on something pleasurable.

How to Wear Yoga Pants Out and About

I think yoga pants get a bad rap.  But perhaps I view them from a unique angle.  I wear leggings but I do not have any yoga leggings.  All my yoga pants are boot-cut.  I find them comfortable because they have the stretch of leggings; and I find them convenient because they go easily from yoga practice to the street.  So let’s take a closer look at how to wear yoga pants out and about.

I’ll wear yoga pants not only when doing yoga but also when lounging at home, when doing errands around town and when at business casual events.  It depends on the type of yoga pants.  Black ones in a nice material can even by styled for casual evenings.

The main thing to keep in mind when wearing yoga pants is that your top should come down low enough all the way around so that it covers your rear.  That’s the difference between classy and trashy.  And when you’re classy, age doesn’t matter.
