The triangle scarf is everywhere right now, styled to perfection on women half my age. I loved it… until I tried one on and had an uncomfortable thought: am I too old to pull this off at 49?
I’ve always thought of myself as fashion-forward. I wore trainers to my wedding in the ’90s – long before that was a thing – and I’ve loved Birkenstocks for more than 25 years, back when they were simply comfortable shoes, not a celebrity-endorsed style statement. In my twenties, payday meant an after-work sprint to Topshop on Oxford Street, and I’ve never been afraid to try something new when it comes to fashion trends.
