Can a 60 year old wear a short dress?
Wear whatever makes you feel comfortable and stylish. If one has great legs and a fit body, there should be no problem wearing minidresses and shorts regardless of any age. I think women know instinctively what feels right and comfortable as they mature, without having to consider norms of society.
New research shows that the average age women give up short skirts has soared to 40. They were the sartorial emblem of freedom for girls in the swinging Sixties and have been a fashion favourite of the young ever since. But now it seems women are happy to bare a lot of leg in a mini-skirt right up to the age of 40.
But there is a hemline rule, and unless you're Kate Moss, that rule is this: If you wonder if you are too old to be wearing a miniskirt (or anything, for that matter), the answer is yes.
The ideal hemline length for most mature women will be short enough to highlight your calves, the prettiest part of your legs. That means the length will vary from the lower half of your knee to as much as 2 inches below your knee, or longer—depending on how full or narrow the skirt is.

Your skin turns drier and itchier and may look like crepe paper or tissue. Wrinkles, age spots, creases, and bruises become more noticeable. Your sweat glands also get less active. That means you might not sweat as much, but wounds on your skin may take longer to heal.
Rule number one for dressing over 50 and overweight: enhance your waistline! So whatever outfit you opt for, make sure your waistline is well defined. Don't wear clothes that are too loose or too tight. Wear well-fitting, tailored clothing.
