Masae Yamaoka is a senior influencer with over 200,000 total SNS followers (as of April 2026), whose posts on SNS such as "Women in their 60s only wear flat shoes," "Tips for making gray hair look beautiful," "Clothes for women in their 60s that don't cause hesitation," and "Life organization methods" have garnered much empathy. Now, a lifestyle book by this author has been released.
This book accompanies women in their 50s and 60s (around 60) through their "moyamoya" (vague anxieties), re-evaluating clothes, homes, relationships, and housework, and introduces tips for living comfortably and authentically.
▼Do you have these concerns?
・My current clothes no longer suit me.
・I have many clothes, but nothing I want to wear.
・I want to tidy up my future life more.
●A book to re-select what's "just right for me" in clothes, life, and relationships.
Based on the author's "letting go activity" (tebanashi-katsu) which she started in her 50s, this book introduces effective ways to "let go" and "keep" things related to clothes, homes, relationships, and housework.
"Letting go activity" here is not simply about reducing or indiscriminately discarding things.
It is a way of thinking to re-examine what is truly important to oneself and re-select what is "just right for me."
By gradually letting go of unnecessary things, closets, rooms, and minds become tidier. The time and mental space created by this make daily life more comfortable.
●Full of practical examples for fashion and life in your 60s that can be immediately incorporated.
This book features a wealth of practical examples that can be immediately incorporated into daily life, such as simple coordinates for spring, summer, autumn, and winter for women in their 60s, tips for wearing clothes beautifully, creating a home without too many possessions, doing housework without overdoing it, and adjusting the distance in relationships.
"I don't want to give up on fashion."
"But I don't want to overdo it."
For such adult women, it proposes fashion that suits their current selves and a comfortable way of living that doesn't overreach.
●After reducing, I saw what I truly loved.
The author says that letting go is not about "losing things," but about "clarifying what is important to oneself."
There is no need to review everything immediately.
It's okay not to force yourself to let go.
Even letting go of just one thing that you think "I might not need this anymore" can lighten your feelings and gradually reveal your true self.
This book is not just a senior fashion book, but a book for organizing one's own fashion, life, and relationships, starting with a review of clothes.
It is recommended for those who want to spend their 60s more lightly and more authentically.
