Style is ever changing and while some looks are a classic others go out as quickly as they come in so finding a personal style can set your wardrobe for life.
One woman is hitting back at people who tell her she's too old to dress a certain way with a fun TikTok showing off her fashion forward outfits.
Many expect older women to dress in more conservative clothes or prints that are less 'on trend', but this 51-year-old showed that she is not going to shrink as she ages. Instead she's a fashion influencer with over 320k followers and 3.4million likes to her name.

"Wear what makes you happy!" read the caption of @renaeolivia8's TikTok, in which she lip synced to a remix of Britney Spear's Oops I Did It Again.
In the video text she wrote: "When someone tells me to dress my age" before showing off her non-age conforming outfits on each repeat of the word "oops". She featured revealing tops, short shorts, summer dresses and a leather look skirt to fight back at the nay-sayers in her comments.
The fit-as-a-fiddle 51-year-old posted another video, among many outfit inspirations and tutorials, in which she showed off her cropped top and ripped jeans. For this she chose an audio which said: "If there's anything you should stop wearing after the age of 40, it's the weight of other people's opinions."
Renae captioned this: "Do you agree?" to which thousands of comments said yes, calling her "beautiful", "fabulous" and "gorgeous". Many refused to believe she was really over 40, let alone 51-years-old thanks to her youthful appearance and style.
"You are rocking that crop top!" said one supporter while another chimed in: "Let's be honest though. You are in the upper 10 percent in looks. Could wear anything and look good."
On the original video, people were clapping back at anyone who had criticised the fashion influencer, with one saying: "Please you look amazing! They are jealous haters!". Another added: "I have no idea how old you are but you dress very classy and have great taste so the can kick rocks!"
A third said: "Why because you wear it better!! Go sista!" to which Renae replied: "Awe! So kind! Thank you so much."
One commenter gave some of their own advice on dressing, saying: "You don't have to dress your age, you dress your silhouette" and Renae agreed, responding: "Exactly and I wish people would get that. You said it perfectly."
"Who could possibly take issue with anything you wear?" a different person asked. "Possibly a person younger that can't pull it off like you?"
"I think people just like to complain for no reason," Renae responded.
Throughout the heart-warming comments, many women were sharing how they also like to dress "inappropriately" for their age and do so unapologetically.
One mum said: "Super cute style and I don’t “dress my age” either! I check with my kids who always tell me I'm fine. They want me to look young and think I am."
Another added: "I dress the same and I am 52 don't see the problem tasteful and classy."
