Do you "dress your age"? Exactly what does that actually mean anyway? What does that mean to you? Do people tell you you should be dressing more your age? (This topic probably has been discussed here before; if so, my apologies)
At 47, I dress mostly in jeans or leggings (or yoga pants), t-shirts or tank tops, hoodies, and sneakers. Sometimes I might wear short dresses, short shorts, or short skirts. Heck, I've been known to wear a tutu. I don't own blouses (anything with buttons) or slacks or power suits or blazers. Dog forbid, I should wear pantyhose or nylons (ugh). Sometimes, I might wear my hair in pig tails or braids.
Do we actually need to dress our age? I get that you have to respect dress codes and such and not be inappropriately dressed in certain situations (weddings, funerals, etc.). But what does age have to do with your clothing choices?
I wear clothes I couldn't say if they are my age.
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 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
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.
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).
