Did. Not. Age. Well. Neither did Carrie Fisher.
Ronald Reagan aged well so did Sophia Loren. (Happy Birthday, Miss Sophia)
Maybe because they don't want to be mistaken for a fag.
Spend a career in the military and you give up on worrying about your appearance in civvies even sooner. Fashion trends are meaningless. Groomed and neatly dressed, regardless is always the better route.
Fat old men wearing shorts...the plague of America.
I coached high school baseball for three seasons and found the kids mostly wore what I’ve been wearing all my life: Long and short sleeve t-shirts, jeans or cargo shorts and sneakers. What’s the big deal?
I have a weakness for fine Italian polyester.
My idea of fashion for the last 10 years has been, boot cut or relaxed cut jeans.
My days of huckapoo shirts and faded glory jeans are long behind me.
I stopped caring about being fashionable around the age of 30. I guess I’m ahead of the curve...
BTW, today is her 79th birthday. Still fine as wine!
Your girlfriend called...
I repeat, I applaud you for trying, lol!
Really? I can’t go to the hardware store in a pair of shorts? Geez, you sound like loads of fun.
I actually started getting into better shape at 46. I looked around and decided I had no desire to become a fat old diabetic. Have largely banished pop and sugar and am 20 lbs. lighter.
Wow, you're pretty hardcore, FRiend. That, or you have many more years behind you than I do...:-)
That being said, I firmly believe that shorts are fine given the situation (assuming the shorts are clean and presentable). Khaki shorts are dressy enough to be worn in a multitude of situations, whereas denim shorts should be worn for only much less formal situations.
Me too and something to wear on top of my bald head except when I'm indoors.
To some extent, I do care about what I wear but I don't really care about what I "look like". I know what I look like. I look like an old, fat, balding man. That's why pretty young waitresses spend time with me because they know I'm harmless and I tip well.
Before I turned 50, I couldn't get the time of day from them. They all presumed I wanted something when all I want is some cheery conversation and to look at a pretty face. An occasional hug is nice too.
” Now, check out sites such as People of Wal-Mart, if you want some shocking pics of people who are just so sloppy in public.”
Wal-Mart is possibly the only place in the world where I can walk in wearing faded, ripped jeans and a threadbare T-shirt and be the best-dressed person in the building.
