People say I dress ‘inappropriately’ because I love wearing mini-skirts at 60 – but I want to inspire other women over 50 to wear whatever they want
A 60-year-old woman who has been told she dresses ‘inappropriately’ because she loves wearing mini-skirts says ‘you can be sexy’ because it’s ‘about your style not your age’.
Roslyn Griner, from Montreal, Canada, has always loved to follow the latest trends and dons miniskirts, sheer tops and cargo trousers.
The marketer ‘keeps young’ by going to the gym five to six times a week and now hopes to inspire other women over 50 to ‘wear whatever they want’.
Roslyn inherited her love of fashion from her late mother, Sabina, 83, a seamstress, who would make her stylish clothes to wear.
Roslyn said: ‘People say I am dressing inappropriately but it’s about your style not your age number.
Roslyn Griner, from Montreal, Canada, was told she dresses ‘inappropriately’ because she loves wearing mini-skirts and says ‘you can be sexy’ and it’s ‘about your style not your age’
‘We become this invisible minority when we hit a certain age and are known as mothers and grandmothers.
‘But you can be sexy and all these things. You don’t lose the zest for life.
‘I want to inspire women that you don’t have to stop dressing a certain way just because you are 50 or 60.’
Roslyn – who has never been married or had children – started sharing herself ‘living an ageless lifestyle’ after losing her marketing job in August 2022.
She said: ‘I’m showcasing how I like to dress. I wear mini-skirts – I like my legs so I’m going to show them off.’
She loves to listen to modern music and follows the latest fashion trends.
Roslyn said: ‘I love current music, it helps keeps you youthful. I’ve always been a fashionista.

‘I love cargo pants. And sheer tops – they are having a moment. I love a mini skirt and an oversized blazer.’
But Roslyn is faced with negative comments saying her outfits are not ‘appropriate’ for her age.
She said: ‘My style of dressing isn’t for everyone. But I don’t address the negative comments anymore.
‘You can be conservative in your 30s or trendy in your 50s. I’m showing young girls that it is not scary to age. It’s cool to be my age.’
Roslyn hasn’t always been as confident as she is now and admits she felt insecure in her looks in her 20s.

She said: ‘I didn’t come into myself until my late 30s. In my 20s I was super shy, and I didn’t feel attractive.
‘I feel I’m much more confident now. As you go down the path of life you care less about everyone’s opinions.’
Roslyn loves ‘living in the present’ and stays young by looking after herself.
She workouts five to six times a week and maintains a healthy diet but admits she does get Botox.
She said: ‘I’m transparent and I have had Botox. Exercise keeps me ageless. I never feel like my age.
‘I’m not creaky, I’m dynamic. I’m living in the present.’
