Final Thoughts on What to Wear on a Cruise for Ladies Over 60
As a woman of any age, it can be hard to know what to wear on a cruise, much less finind cruise wear that is flattering to our bodies as we are over 50, 60, 70 or any age.
In this post I shared dresses, tops and some light jackets that have sleeves and are made with materials that look good, even if we have some “problem” areas. Remember there is no age where you can and cannot wear certain outfits, so try different items to see what looks and feel right for you.
Final reminder – you are beautiful and will look fabulous on your cruise!
