      Eh… I wouldn’t recommend them for use during vigorous activity or on uneven ground. But they honestly aren’t that big of a deal for the majority of people. Around a cm of heel height is built into the vast majority of shoes. Most work boots and especially cowboy boots can have 3-4 cm of extra heel height without causing problems.

      People with hyper mobile ankles or heels can be at higher risk of ankle injuries, but when people with higher mobile joints turn their ankles the sprains tend to be less severe. People with tight calves, heel spurs, hx of plantar fasciitis, or shortened Achilles can actually find high heeled shoes more comfortable than flats.

      Everyone is different, just because you feel unsafe or uncomfortable in heels doesn’t mean everyone does.

      Yeah but they look cool. Incredibly painful but cool.

      Also it’s kind of amusing to watch people struggling in high heels from the comfort of my cushioned, flat shoes. I’m a little mean :D

    I’ll be honest, I don’t think that jacket is very flattering. I’d probably take that zipper down about halfway to let the lapels lay out, better framing that way.

    Waist down slays tho

    Simply an ugly jacket or one that definitely doesn’t look good with it.

      I dunno, it could be worse. I think it’s more the material than the style that’s clashing with the skirt and hose. That jacket matches the shoes decently, and some folks match those as part of an overall style.

      Not my kind of thing, I prefer to match jackets with pants, and prefer jackets match skirts or pants when I’m looking at fashion stuff on others. But, hey, not my outfit anyway :), Suzy can do what they’ve always done and challenge fashion and gender norms.

      It’s kinda their thing the wear stuff that pushes the boundaries of both, and that goal is successful here, if that was the intent.

    You do you, Suzy Eddie Izzard. I think you look great! I wish I could wear high heels, sadly I have vertigo :(. And zippers? Okay, I had a REALLY bad experience with an orthodontist. So zippers kind of trigger the ptsd (JK)

      No future just die kind of old? No. But 61 is old enough to cause some physical problems for people, often making it hard to keep in shape - which is not the case here and that’s what we’re admiring in the pic.

        No, this is patronizing as hell. Nobody sees 60-70 year old men in dress suits or tuxes and goes oooohhh, good job!!! Wow!!! Like wtf. What are women in their 60s supposed to wear, burlap sacks?

          Why not? I do appreciate 60-70 men being dapper. Or older elegant women, why not? The exact style is not the point. When someone dresses to be appreciated and it works, I see it as a positive thing.

      Hah, found the 62-year-old in the thread! Calm down, granny - you’re old.

      (I’m 53 this year, and I’ve accepted that I’m almost certainly past the middle of my life and into the downward slope towards entropy - you should give “acceptance” a chance!)

        I’m 32 - I don’t wish I were younger. I just wish that women weren’t expected to disappear as they age, as opposed to men, who gain status.

      I help octogenarians at work everyday and am always stunned they’re that old. I usually peg them at early 70s. One guy was 82 and I swear he could have been 65. I think the look on my face when they tell me is compliment enough.

      People just don’t look as old as they used to. Maybe that’s me aging, but I swear to god, 40 was the limit in my youth. Past that everyone became fat, dumpy and out of fashion, or more like, no fashion.

      And these Florida women! I was dating hot and heavy a few years ago and had 3 gf’s around 49-52 that were absolutely hot, cute and fit. My wife is 54 and could pass for late 30s, but she’s Asian so that’s cheating. When I moved here, I was not prepared. A woman with gorgeous hair and a surfer’s body would turn around and be 70.

      Anyone else see this? Explanations?
