50歲時該如何着裝？

The pursuit of individual and personal style becomes so much more important as you get older. When I look at my clothes at home, I don’t think my style has changed very much since my early 30s. That was when I settled on something. And if I could be 38 again, I don’t think I would dress any differently than I do now, at 50.

當你年紀越來越大時，追求自我和個人的風格變得日益重要。在家裏看着我的衣服時，我認為我的風格自30歲出頭後就沒怎麼變化過。那時我剛安頓下來。如果我能再次回到38歲，我認為我的穿衣風格與我現在50歲的風格不會有什麼差別。

That said, some elements of the way I dress have been constant since I was a teenager, when I became obsessed with a Bruce Weber Vogue shoot based on Edward Weston and his women. I remember taking the magazine into Exeter to get my hair cut like the picture, then buying a fisherman’s jumper in a sailing shop. I bought a grey pencil skirt, dug out my school shoes and ankle socks, got my dad’s overcoat and got the look. I still dress like those pictures in a way.

這就是説，我穿衣風格中的一些元素自我青少年時期起便一直如此，那時候我十分痴迷於《時尚》雜誌布魯斯•韋伯攝影師所拍攝的愛德華•韋斯頓和他女人。我還記得當時我把雜誌帶到了埃克塞特，讓理髮師把我的頭髮剪成圖片上的樣子，然後在一家航海商店買了漁夫的工作裝。我買了一條灰色的鉛筆裙。找出了學生鞋和腳踝襪，穿上我父親的外套，得到了我想要的外觀。在某些方面，我的穿衣風格與這些圖片仍然十分相似。

There’s an abiding perception that the high street doesn’t serve older women very well, but in my view it’s better than it has ever been. The choice is huge – whether that’s Topshop, Uniqlo or Cos. It’s not one stop that gives you everything you want, more that everybody offers something very different.

有一種持久的觀念認為主街道並不太適合年紀大的女性，但在我看來，主街道比以前好多了。選擇很多——不管它是Topshop，優衣庫還是Cos。

The key is to be true to yourself and confident about what you like. It’s not necessarily about what’s in fashion, it’s what you love for you and your style. I have never been comfortable in structured clothes, for example, and I accept that. I’m lazy in a way. I can’t wear high heels because I can’t walk fast enough in them. I like to feel I can move around and get everything done. I’m also not somebody who scrutinises every detail or seam, looking at the construction. I like clothes that give you the effect of what you want.

關鍵就是要對自己真實，並對自己喜歡的東西充滿信心。這並不一定關於流行什麼，這是關於你自己喜歡什麼以及你喜歡什麼風格。比如,穿結構化衣服時我從未感覺到舒適， 我接受這一事實。在某種程度上來講，我有點懶。我不能穿高跟鞋，因為穿上高跟鞋，我就不能走的很快。我喜歡可以任意移動並完成一切的感覺。我也不是那種會檢查所有細節或縫隙，監測製衣過程的人。我喜歡那種能讓你得到你想要的效果的衣服。
