We expect you’ve noticed that Pom-poms are A Thing right now.
We have seen them all over dresses, bags and shoes, as well as little ones bordering scarves and lots of other stuff.
There is a truly divine basket (and baskets are, of course also a hot trend right now), by Dolce & Gabbana which Jan has fallen for but at £1,380 (and that’s half price) she’s thinking she might pop to a market soon and pick up a basket with a substantially smaller price tag.
Where were we? Oh yes, Pom-poms. Pom-poms emerged as a trend a couple of years ago, playing into the whole Boho/Seventies vibe, but now – like the rash they can sometimes resemble – they are everywhere.
At SoSensational, we never – or almost never – say “don’t wear…” as we think most trends can be worked by women over-50. As an example, do take a look at our blog about ripped/distressed jeans.
Read it as today’s homework… Only joking. But please take a look so you know we are not bossy or proscriptive.
Well, we are not normally bossy or proscriptive but when it comes to Pom-poms, we are going to be bossy and proscriptive. We are going to point our finger and say: “No, no, no, leave Pom-poms to the under 18s.”
If you purchase a bag with Pom-poms hanging off it, just snip them off. Unless, of course, it’s that D&G beauty Jan loves… Then just pair it with something very grown-up and ladylike…
Truly, we cannot see a way to make Pom-poms work on anyone over 12, leave alone on anyone over 50… if you can, please let us know how or, better still, send a picture.
