So, here's the situation. I (25F) have a friend, Sarah (35F), who’s always been a bit of a free spirit when it comes to fashion. We’re part of a tight-knit group, and we all hang out regularly. Recently, Sarah has started wearing clothes that I feel are too young for her—like crop tops, mini skirts, and super ripped jeans. At first, I didn’t think much of it, but the more I saw her wearing them, the more uncomfortable I felt. I just don’t think it looks flattering on her, and honestly, it kind of makes me cringe.

One day we were at a party, and she showed up wearing a crop top and a mini skirt, and I just couldn’t help myself. I told her, in a friendly way, that I think she might be a little too old for those types of clothes and that maybe it was time to dress a bit more "mature." I was expecting a lighthearted conversation about it, but she got really upset. She said I was being judgmental and that I shouldn’t try to dictate her fashion choices, and she stormed off.

Now, the group is divided. Some of my friends agree with me, saying that she looks a bit out of place with her style, but others think I crossed a line and that she should be allowed to wear whatever makes her happy. I feel bad because I didn’t mean to hurt her feelings, but I also still think she should consider dressing for her age.
