19. Bolero jackets

They've been around since the 1950s, and they don't appear to be going away anytime soon. Designers created bolero jackets to cover bare skin, usually over strapless dresses or those with shoestring straps. They're a bold fashion statement but work best on specific body types — tall, thin ones. Women over 50 who are self-conscious about their midline should avoid them. Boleros will make your waist appear shorter than it is and bring attention to the areas you aren't crazy about.
