Shop your age; Find age appropriate shopping in Toronto

Shop your age doesn’t have to mean you start dressing like a grandmother at 50 or that you give up your favourite tee, jeans and sneaks combo all together after your twenties.

However there are some guidelines to shopping age appropriate fashions and certain neighbourhoods in Toronto cater better to different age groups.

It has been quite some time since someone told me to act my age, but since I have entered my thirties I have given more thought to age appropriate dressing.



I no longer don a mini-skirt or short shorts, but I still rely heavily on jeans and sweaters to get me through the week.

These are the torontoshopoholic tips to shop your age and where to find age appropriate shops in Toronto.

The good news is that fashion trends are made for you. 

Let’s face it everything looks better on a pretty young thing, with a pretty young bod. 

Where Did You Go by Noemi Manalang

You aren’t worried about fitting into your skinny jeans as they are likely the only ones you wear.  

The city is your oyster as many a boutique and mall store caters to the fashions you love.

Best Neighbourhoods: Anything along Queen West, the fashion district and West Queen West, Toronto Malls and Yonge Dundas Square.

By now you might have had a kid and your career is in full swing.

One thing is for sure you aren’t a teenager anymore ...

And shouldn’t try to wear the same clothes as one!

This doesn’t mean you can’t participate in trends.

Just make sure that you don't end up looking like a tween.

Best Neighbourhoods:

Leslieville, Danforth, Yonge & Eglinton, Ossington, as well as selected West Queen West boutiques.






Fifties & beyond

Middle age is upon you but that doesn’t mean you start dressing like an old lady! 

The key to looking great is stop worrying about trends that people 20 years your junior are living in, wear what flatters you best. 

Paying a bit more for great cuts, fabrics and tailoring will serve you well.

Best Neighbourhoods: Leaside, Yonge Eglinton, Avenue Road, Yonge Lawrence.

Ageless beauty

Some boutiques have fashions that really can work for anyone.

Some neighbourhoods have such a range of shops that every age is represented.

Scene Queen by Noemi Manalang

Bergstrom Originals classic timeless pieces that anyone could wear. Younger girls beware this is not a super “trendy” shop.

Another shop to try is Parade on the Danforth.

Winners – EVERYONE can find something at winners.

The Eglinton Way – beware the prices but the variety of shops here from kids to adult Woman and mens, every age can find something beautiful.

Remeber that when you shop your age to keep in mind your shape and personal style. Everone likes different fashion styles and some body shapes can experiment with fashion more than others.
