People say I dress “inappropriately” because I love wearing miniskirts 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 to wear miniskirts says “you can be sexy” because “it’s about your style, not your age.”
Roslyn Griner, from Montreal, Canada, has always liked following the latest trends and wears miniskirts, sheer tops and cargo pants.
The salesperson ‘stays young’ by hitting 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 made elegant clothes for her to wear.
Roslyn said: ‘People say I dress inappropriately, but it’s about your style, not your age number.
Roslyn Griner, from Montreal, Canada, was told she dresses “inappropriately” because she loves to wear miniskirts and says “you can be sexy” and “it’s about your style, not your age.”
“We become this invisible minority when we reach a certain age and are known as mothers and grandmothers.
But you can be sexy and all that stuff. You don’t lose the will to live.
“I want to inspire women to not stop dressing a certain way just because they are 50 or 60 years old.”
Roslyn, who has never been married or had children, began sharing that she “lives a timeless lifestyle” after losing her marketing job in August 2022.
She said: ‘I’m showing how I like to dress. I’m wearing miniskirts, I like my legs so I’m going to show them off.’
She loves listening to modern music and follows the latest fashion trends.

But Roslyn is facing negative comments that her outfits are not “appropriate” for her age.
She said: ‘My dressing style is not for everyone. But I don’t deal with negative comments anymore.
