Age and clothing fashion

[debodun]

Why is it young people can get away with wearing certain fads in clothing that would seem silly on seniors? For instance I see a great deal of teens and 20-somethings wearing torn, ripped blue jeans. If my jeans were in that condition, I'd toss them, but that is considered "in" these days, at least for young people.

I look at the ripped and holey jeans as just an excuse to show more skin .... to create excitement in the opposite sex.

Deb, I wouldn't wear those even if I was 20. They're in really poor taste, but when fashionistas say some awful design of theirs is HOT, then young women have to wear it to be in like their friends. They usually change when they become older and more confident of their own fashion sense.

I didn't like them in the eighties when they were first fashionable and certainly wouldn't wear them now !

Agree chic. I know my "grands" have become more conservative in their dress as they have matured.

I've gotten used to them on the kids, but it's not just the teens wearing them. I see middle aged (and then some) ladies and gents wearing them, and to nice events. JMO, but it doesn't matter if you have on an expensive top & nice jewelry if you have holes in your jeans.

For the life of me, I cannot understand why these kids can't dress to where they look good like we who are more mature!!!

The diff, though, is these days I've seen them advertised for more than $400!!!

This is another ridiculous style I can't stand. Short shorts with the pockets hanging out from the bottom of the legs.

And then there's this new style- which I hope I never see on anyone: http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/romper-men-article-1.3173738

Really ? I guess some people have more money than sense, a pair of scissors would give the same effect for a free ...

Imagine if you had a blind date and he turned up wearing a pair of those !!!

If he was a "blind" date... would he even know what he was wearing?

Those rompers look like the gym suits the girls had to wear in high school - solid color. though.
