Don't mistake men wanting to get in your pants and complimenting a poor choice of clothing as affirmation of you knowing how to dress. It really isn't that you should not wear something , it is that you should know where not and where to, wear it.

I think taste has no age. Again, it`s an interesting discussion. I personally think people should dress the way it best suits them , not so much on the age-appropriate thing. I - for example - never wore miniskirts, because I simply don`t like them. However, I know women older than me (in their 50ies) who are elegant ladies and rock miniskirts, although combined with an uptight blouse or long-sleeved elegant Hugo Boss Style look.
I think it really depends on the style and overall appearance.
If you have no great legs, than no miniskirts look better ANY AGE. It`s just that style faux-pas are "forgiven" at younger age, because they don`know any better. But being dressed like a person having no clue about what suits you in older age is less forgiving.
I think Vivienne Westwood for example is a great example of having style, being a little over the edge and still not looking like a dumpster for out of style clothes put on the wrong "hanger".
Also,
PENCIL SKIRTS are NOT FOR EVERYONE. You have to have a pretty amazing figure, with long slim legs to pull these off.
Tiny women for example, or fully figured women should and can hardly wear them, if they don`t want to shorten their legs or bring attention to their body in a wrong way.
So, I think it`s all about physical proportions and lifestyle. And then find a good mix of clothes suitable to you.
Me digs Roberto Cavalli, but I just love colors in combination with black trousers. I am not sure if I wear them with 50, too, but I sure could, since I am tall, and slim, so colours match me, if I use them carefully.
