Fashion Tips for the Over 50 Man

R.I.P. With Us In Spirit Only
Guys, there comes a time when a true man has to face the facts, no matter how painful or embarrassing. That time comes a bit earlier or later for each man, but have no doubt - it DOES come, and ALWAYS by the age of 50.

... it's time to hang up those baggy pants.

Here are a few more items you should probably avoid wearing when in public ...


  • Backward baseball caps - unless you're a professional baseball player
  • Pants so baggy that your underwear (or lack thereof) is showing
  • Sandals with socks - it's just WRONG
  • Muscle shirts - unless you actually have muscles and weigh less than an F-150
  • Bandanas - unless you're close friends with Willie
  • The latest high-tech sneakers - paying $300 for some NBA star's name on your sneakers is silly
  • Friendship bracelets / rings
  • Ponytails - a sure sign of an aging hippie (I say this as a ponytail-wearer)
  • Jeans so tight people can count your change and tell your religion


Any others you can add?
 
You know the thing about old men wearing their (our) pants pulled up high? I've noticed that I'm actually pulling my pants up higher and I like it . . . What the heck is that all about?
 
Yeah, suspenders . . . I'm gettin' there. One of these days, good-bye belt and hello wearin' my pants way up high with suspenders . . . RED ones!

I'm not really sure why that happens - lately I've been being fed so much rich food that my pants are getting tighter, so they're beginning to ride lower. The alternative would be to pull them UP, I guess.

Maybe it's because we shrink as we get older?

ETA: I'll be darned - I'm right! - Aging Changes in Body Shape :D
