I’m 55 but I love wearing tight, skimpy dresses and micro mini shorts… trolls say I have ‘no respect for myself’
A 55-YEAR-OLD fashionista has rubbished the suggestion that people should dress their age - despite what vicious trolls have to say.
Stylish mum Sue Giers, from Hamburg, Germany, shares passion for fashion - and recently confessed that being ''basic'' is not in her ''DNA''.
Although some expect women to become invisible after reaching a certain age, it is clear that the Sue, who also runs a business, refuses to do so.
The blonde beauty, who's 55, is no stranger to jumping on the latest trends - whether that's showing off her toned legs in teeny micro shorts or rocking a skimpy, figure-hugging romper.
Despite what haters say, the entrepreneur also continues to share fashion-related content and fit checks on , where she boasts close to a staggering 62k followers.
One such saw the stunner show off just some of her favourite wardrobe essentials, including a fabulous maxi dress enhancing her body, as well as a black midi frock she'd paired why sky-high stilettos.

For Sue, however, it's more than just about clothes - it's also a reflection of how far she's come.
The mum wrote in the caption: ''These pieces aren’t just fabric: they’re a celebration of the journey that brought me here.
I hope to inspire others to redefine ageing and beauty, showing that true style knows no age.

''From moments of uncertainty to moments of pure confidence, my style reflects the courage to embrace every stage of life with grace and authenticity.
''I hope to inspire others to redefine ageing and beauty, showing that true style knows no age.
''Let’s continue to empower each other to boldly express ourselves and live life to the fullest!'' Sue reminded in the uplifting post.
However, despite the positive message, not everyone agreed with the German beauty, as trolls flocked to brutally shame her.
One person said: ''Respecting your age and respecting your body are 2 different things. You fit neither category.''
Someone else agreed, adding that Sue was simply thirsty for attention, in their eyes.
''Pick Me girls at the retirement community.''
It's not just Sue's ''don't care'' attitude that some bullies had an issue with - a few also came for the mini shorts.
One critic compared them to underwear, writing: ''The first shorts kinda look like boxer brief underwear though?''
