Do you dress "old"?

[fuzzybuddy]

Do you dress "old'"? I'm not a clothes horse. Most of my clothes were bought when "Cheers" was first on TV. They are extremely stylish, well, for the 1990s. And I do wear white socks with black shoes, but that's because it's hard to find black socks that are as good, and last like white ones. Because of my spinal problems I can't wear a belt, so I have to use suspenders. And there's nothing that says "super stylish" like suspenders. I'm a walking geezer.

My son says I dress like a 12 year old boy. Or was that a 10 year old boy?? Maybe we should settle on 11.

I dress for comfort - never was too concerned about being in style. I don't buy many clothes, and the few items I do buy (except underwear and shoes) I get in thrift stores.

What, Roman Togas are considered old now?

 

[1955]

I mostly dress resale!

 

[jimintoronto]

Yes. Style is in the eye of the buyer, in my opinion. Regular warm day ? Hawiian shirt, denim shorts, sneakers, woven straw hat, shades. Cold winter day? Levis winter parka, wool Timberland plaid shirt, GWG jeans, winter hiker boots, with a reflective heat insole inside of them, wool toque, and lined leather work gloves. Fancy event ? Made to measure suit, conservative cut, with a vest, contrasting dress shirt with french cuffs and links. Polished oxford style leather shoes in black or brown ( depending on the color of the suit ) with a tie that matches the shirt color.

Around the house, like right now ? A brown long sleeve sweater, with a grey T shirt under it, pajamas pants, sock and a pair of Mohawk made bedroom slippers. Nice and warm. And Carlos Santana on the ear buds. JImB.

I'm quite happy wearing a bear's fur clothes, but the bear is a bit peeved.

Does Goldilocks say anything about how you look?

 

[hollydolly]

This is me..a few months ago..

 

[oldaunt]

I dress "farm" most of the time because that is my life. Usually boots, jeans (not ripped, HATE that) and shirt. I can dress up a bit to go to town, but usually not what is considered OLD. Just a little class.

 

[Gaer]

Nope. I dress young. I feel young.

 

[debodun]

I have no fashion sense.

 

[NorthernLight]

Probably. I dress for comfort. Flat shoes or sandals.

I do have some standards, like, "Ew, I'd never wear that!" And I can't stand color clash.

But like @debodun , I have no fashion sense.

 

[Lewkat]

I dress "Preppy." Old habits die hard.

 

[BC Flash]

My daughter commented that I NEVER CHANGE MY CLOTHES!! My "uniform" has been red t's/sweaters in autumn/winter; red short sleeves/sleeveless in spring/summer; blue or black jeans all year. Boring but I don't have to think about "what to wear"!! (Flash, the dog, doesn't care if I wear old, unco-ordinated clothes LOLOL)

I do too because it's elegant, comfortable and never goes out of style. I jazz it up with footwear and jewelry if I want.

I used to roll the sleeves up on my short sleeve shirts 1950s style, until I noticed nobody was doing it anymore.

I have no fashion sense.

Now at least we have sense enough to know that. Give yourself some credit.

Blue jeans and a long sleeve outer shirt with pockets large enough for my wallet, phone and Kindle. I usually just change socks and under cloths each day except when the outer layer gets messy or ripe. Around the house I don’t wear anything when the season permits. When it gets as cold as it is now I’ll run around the house in heavy socks and long johns.

I think indifference is a privilege of geezerhood. My wife essentially does the same but looks classier doing it.

 

[Macfan]

Yes, at home it's my well broken in Darth Vader robe. When venturing out it's my overalls, and optional Army baseball cap and / or well used leather jacket . Don...

 

[Harry Le Hermit]

My response is... just be thankful I am wearing clothes. And you better call, before visiting... or else!

Wherever do you keep your cigarettes?

But did you put a pack of Camels under the sleeve of that t shirt ? How about a pair of WW2 engineer boots to go with the Levis jeans ? JimB.

Beat me to it....Grin. JimB. In Toronto.

I dress plainly, mostly wear work pants like these, and some kind of T-shirt.
