I also believe that age does not matter in choosing clothes. You need to wear what you like and not pay attention to the opinions of others. For example, my mother is 46 years old and dresses very fashionable and modern. For example, she recently ordered a very beautiful Atlanta-style suit [the-sleeper.com]. She looks amazing on her, and she looks much younger than her age. So you need to dress the way you feel and not sweat it.

I am exactly the same size as I was in high school. So it's still jeans and t-shirts.

I'm 52 and wear whatever I want and I have purple hair!

Age and clothing, style, or looks. Pah! I was recently asked why my hair was so long. I merely replied that “it will keep on growing”. Someone else asked if I thought it was ‘appropriate’ to be wearing my hair long at 66. Appropriate!!! WTF does that mean in the context of the length of anyone’s hair???!!! FFS, why do people even think it’s ok to criticise someone else’s style choices? Grrrrrrr!!!! ???

In the summer, I flit around in short, little skirts and dresses. Great legs from hiking and running. Why not show off my best asset?

At 65, I'm still going strong.

Also, I finally learned slender people look best in clothes that follow the lines of our bodies. Instead of wearing a tent. Photos:

Am blessed with having a small frame ..so its jeans ..and vest tops ..with combat jacket..its what im comfy with ..and maybe not age appropriate being 55... But hey .. ! Do I care ? !

So, this is an example of how I normally dress. And I usually wear a similar style hoodie on top of my t-shirt. Oh, yeah, that was me I think 3 years ago, with some of the cast of Grimm at Fan Expo. LOL. I don't think I look like I dress inappropriately for a 44 year old there.

I wear jeans and t-shirts they're ageless

I'm 59. I like wearing cute clothes, shoes make up. Almost always. I rock a cute haircut. I think that's appropriate for me. I like nice things, and think I look great and in shape for my age. ♥ I'm tallish, so my everyday outfit consists of skinny jeans, a nice feminine top or blouse, and super cute usually animal print flats or other great flats. Bright pink lips, blush, and lots of mascara. I'll wear a flannel and/or and men's style plaid shirts to work and converse, or cute sneakers. When I work. I do work in construction with almost entirely all men, so it it is a little challenging to pull off cute all the time, but I think I have nailed it.

I am a big people watcher. Some do not need to dress their age but dress according to their figure. I am not 18 and dress comfortable for me.

I have no idea what that phrase means. If we attend to "dress our age", we are allowing others to dictate our behavior.

Funny you should ask that -- funny to me, anyway -- because just the other day i was thinking about my decade in japan, and something one of my students said about my habitual attire. since i was a teacher, i was expected not to wear jeans, which would've been comfy, so i dressed in highly color-coordinated land's end cotton knits. a typical outfit for me was a matching skirt and blazer in some bright color (often red or yellow), with a contrasting colored shirt, knee socks of one of those two bright colors and a matching beret, along with chinese cotton maryjanes. the student i was just thinking of commented that i was, by dressing that way, trying to look young. now, first of all, i was in my 30s when he said that (but continued to dress the same way into my 40s), so i wasn't feeling particularly old, and he was about 20, give or take, so i wasn't even that much older than he! second of all, i didn't know anyone, of any age, who dressed the way i did. i was just trying to satisfy the dress code in a minimal way while remaining comfortable and avoiding drabness. if i was trying to look young, i was certainly not trying to look like any actual young person. i think i was just trying to look like myself. but in japan, once you hit 40 you dress in gray, because you're officially old or something. i'm 66 now and i have one gray dress which i like because it has pockets, but most of my clothing is still pretty colorful (and a lot less formal than my above-described outfits, which you surely realize were not formal at all). i like a low neckline, not because i am trying to flash some flesh but because i don't like being choked by high necklines. is that bad because i am in my 60s? too bad; i don't think i should have to choke because of how many years i've been alive. i also don't wear underwear. am i trying to dress younger than my age? no -- i am trying to dress in a way that doesn't make me want to scream. i wear skirts and dresses because i find them comfortable. do i now eschew jeans? no -- but i'm fat so they don't fit, and i also have a high personal thermostat, so i would rather have a nice breeze going most of the time instead of being all covered up. does this have to do with age in some way? maybe... in that i am old enough not to care whether other people think i am dressing my age!

I don't think I dress my age. I dress rather conservatively and covered up. So very rarely can you see skin or even curves if I am wearing loose jeans or dress pants. So because I do not dress like a scantily clad sex worker and do not "flaunt it" people assume I dress older or younger than I actually am. But why the fck must I dress like a sex kitten and flaunt it? Maybe I do not want to flaunt anything because that garners more attention from perverts and creepers. Let the others flaunt it and deal with the unwanted attention! NO THANK YOU!

Boots, jeans, shirt. 2 suits l never wear, but l have them if the need arises.

I've worn Levis 501s and a Tommy Bahama raw silk shirt for the last 20 years, this was my standard work attire when I was building hotels in the Caribbean. The raw silk wears like iron and the blue jeans plus Blundstones or similar with a green patch are mandatory. I've been retired for 9 years now but I still wear the same outfit most days, it's a lot easier than wearing tailor made suits like I did in my 20's and 30's.

perhaps it is more important to dress one's size rather than age ...

I work with kids so t shirts and shorts are almost my year round uniform. I have a handful of dress shirts, jackets, ties, etc. that I wear for the right occasions but at this point in my life dressing my age is mostly about dressing for the job.

Just to clarify. I don't give the slightest fuck about what other people think or say about how I dress. I don't ever give a rat's ass about what other people think about anything that I do or don't do. If they think I don't dress appropriately, they can shove their opinion up where it don't shine. If I'm not in my casual practical attire, I tend to wear rather bizarre clothing anyhow just because that's what I like. I am a non-conformist. One thing I don't do, however, is dress sloppy when I go out (I may wear comfy grubby clothes at home as I please).

My best friend says her favorite quality she likes in me is no fucks given. I wear what I want, believe what I want and am not shy about saying what I want. I believe you should stop caring about what everyone else thinks of you and only worry about looking in the mirror and being proud of yourself. Do what makes you happy.

I wear skinny jeans at 51 so I would say No I do not dress my age, hell, I'm not sure I'm dressing for my sex

I was raised with the saying "dressing well is a sign of good manners". And when I go out in public I'm not fancy but decently attired. As an artist and seamstress, I wear styles and colors I feel benefit me, regardless of any "age appropriate" issue. What is that anyway? A well cut article of clothing can do wonders for your form, as will picking the correct weight of fabric. Too thin of fabric results in every bump and bulge showing. A bit heavier fabric will magically camouflage them! Age be damned! But it seems the older I get, the more I wear skirts and dresses. They're pretty and fun.

I dress kinda twenties style.

I don't think that should even be a thing. I say dress how you feel like dressing, to express yourself, a d to be comfortable. No other reason matters (although if you do corporate work you might need a couple of suites, which I personally utterly despise and forever happy that I don't have to.)

Unless one is a fashionista (more power to 'em), it seems most folks gravitate to what is comfortable - fashion trends be damned !

I know here in super casual, and often very warm Florida, I dress for comfort . On the rare occasions I need to dress up a bit , I manage - but really don't care , or think about age appropriateness...

I've been fortunate at various jobs, where it was either casual, scrubs, or a uniform !

Dress the way that makes you feel good, don't worry about what others think. Of course I am going to deviate on one fashion trend "Thongs". YIKES!!!, some people definitely should not wear them. Actually I am just going to say that most people shouldn't wear them, but hey that's just my opinion...... what do I know?
