70-year-old fashion expert just wore a jumpsuit that flatters any age

If you ever needed proof that style doesn’t have a sell-by date, look no further than Jo Good (aka @middleagedminx). The 70-year-old This Morning fashion regular and style influencer stepped out in a navy polka-dot jumpsuit from River Island at Royal Ascot this week – a whole outfit-in-one for £66.

With its V-neck that exposes just the right amount of skin, flattering tie waist, breezy chiffon sleeves that give upper arm coverage and softly structured wide legs, it’s the kind of high-street buy that instantly elevates, regardless of your age or dress size. Plus it’s reasonably priced and in a timeless print. 

“I love fashion, I always have,” Jo recently told her 40k+ Instagram followers. “I dress for joy, not for approval, and that freedom is the best part of growing older.”

For anyone thinking about investing in a jumpsuit, consider that it can be a one-and-done outfit hero – you can just add shoes and go.

Look out for shoulder-skimming necklines, waist-cinching ties, forgiving fabrics, and lengths that flatter fuller calves or elongate shorter legs. Basically, those that enhance your best bits and skim the rest. The best ones work just as well for brunch with friends as they do for a summer wedding, or at the races, in this case. Just switch up your accessories to suit the occasion. 

Remember that jumpsuits are not just for summer; layer with a tee or cardigan, and one will see you into autumn, too.

Whether you’re 40, 60 or 70, there’s no reason not to embrace a look that feels comfortable, confident, and current. Below, I’ve rounded up three more jumpsuits that are brilliant for warmer days, all under £80.
