AGELESS STYLE SOS: Susan, 62, finds heels she can actually walk in!
Share:
‘I have two issues with dressing. First, I’ve never learnt how to walk in heels because I had to wear flat shoes for work. Second, apart from two glorious summers when I was menopausal, I’ve been cold all my life. This means I’m always in flat boots and wrapped up in layers, and it’s hard for this not to look frumpy. I need new ideas that are both wearable and stylish.’.
Susan Hayes, 62, is a retired police officer from South Wales. Susan often goes to the theatre and wanted an outfit that matched the occasion while keeping her warm. Enter the knitted dress: it’s elegant and flattering and, if it’s good quality like this one by Jigsaw, will keep her sleek and snug for many winters. The print is striking and complements the red coat.

These heeled boots are a revelation – they look great, and I can actually walk in them. I also love the red coat, which is so different from what I’d usually go for. I’m absolutely going to be more daring from now on. My new style motto is: “No more saying no”.’.
