Old Geezer Fashion

I have a passion, and that is not to let getting old mean you get consigned to saggy clothes, yachtwear or an old suit before they have to box you up and hide you 6 feet under the ground.

And this means getting some basic messages across, the first of which is there are just 2 stages in life - child and adult, plus a time when one has to navigate from one to the other.

When you are a child, your parents have to make a lot of your clothing decisions.

When you are an adult, you have to make most of your clothing decisions.

Hence, there is no such thing as 'age appropriate'. If you are an adult, you wear adult clothes. Some young people dress badly, some old people dress badly. And vice versa.

If someone cannot deal with older people dressing like they do, and that one is an adult, then we should be asking whether this person has matured enough, and whether they are still relying on other people to tell them what they should be wearing. Adults are adults. They make their decisions, and they should be respected for their decisions.

After all, only a child would laugh at what someone else is wearing.
