Women too old to wear minis at 35, bikinis at 47: Survey

Helen Mirren, 65 and Jerry Hall, 54, who have never shied away from showing off their enviable figure in a number of bikinis, may not agree with a new poll that has revealed that women don't think it is acceptable to wear bikinis on the beach once they reach 47

Helen Mirren, 65 and Jerry Hall, 54, who have never shied away from showing off their enviable figure in a number of bikinis, may not agree with a new poll that has revealed that women don't think it is acceptable to wear bikinis on the beach once they reach 47.



The study, carried out among 2,000 women, found most wouldn't be comfortable wearing a two-piece on holiday once they approach their half-century - and frown upon others who do, reports the Daily Mail.

But the survey also revealed that women believe - perhaps a little unfairly - that miniskirts are a 'no-no' on anyone aged 35 or more and that high heels should not be worn by anyone over 51.

The study, commissioned by Diet Chef, also found 44 per cent of women regularly worry they are too old to wear certain items of clothing.

But one in two also believe that provided a woman is slim, healthy and attractive into her fifties and sixties, she can 'get away with anything'.

The age women believe you should stop doing various things as per the survey:

Bikini, 47
Miniskirt, 35
Boob Tube, 33
Stilettos, 51
Belly button piercing, 35
Knee high boots, 47
Trainers, 44
Leather trousers, 34
Leggings, 45
Ugg boots, 45
Swimsuit, 61
Tight vest, 44
See-through chiffon blouse, 40
Long hair, 53
Ponytail, 51
