You don't need to show too much skin!

Too much can be just that- too much. A bit of skin is sexy, a lot of skin can look cheap, trying too hard or tacky.

If you love that look then great, you do you but if you want to look classy and elegant then limit the amount of flesh you show.

I would say if you are showing a lot of leg then keep your top half more covered and if you are showing a lot of cleavage keep your legs covered. Even then I still wouldn't suggest showing a LOT.

I know it probably sounds so boring but it is almost never a good look especially when it's the super short shorts or skirts and your butt cheeks are on show. ! Or cleavage is literally spilling out of your top. Subtle is key.

As we get older this becomes even more apparent. I often see ladies that are over 50 in short skirts with revealing tops and it really doesn't work. Even celebrities struggle to pull that off. it's just a bit too much and can veer into the mutton dressed as lamb world.

When you are 19 you get away with a lot because you are 19 but at 59 it's best to tone it down a bit.

You don't have to be dressed like a nun but just keep the skirts to knee length or longer depending what suits you and if you want shorts in summer go for more tailored ones not Daisy Duke hot pants.

The picture below is an example of shorts that look really elegant. You are still wearing shorts and nice and comfortable without looking over the top.
