What Not to Wear After Age 50: The Final Say

[azurnoir]

Google 'what not to wear after age 50' and you will have your pick of thousands of articles telling you what looks terrible on your old ass body.

You are over 50 for fuck's sake. Wear whatever you want. If you've made it to 50 and still need to consult articles on how to dress appropriately then you are so missing out on one of the best things about being over 50. One of the best things about getting older is realizing that we don't have to spend our energy worrying what other people think and we get to be comfortable in our own skin with our own freak flags.

Still, there are a few things that women over 50 really shouldn't wear:

1. The weight of the world.
When you wear the weight of the world on your shoulders, you age. If you like the feel of the world's weight and don't want to give it up, then try scaling back a bit. Perhaps just wear the weight of a few of the smaller continents. For instance, I am only wearing the weight of Australia and a made up country called 'Michelloponia'. I think it they have a slimming effect.

But the weight of the world can be a killer after 50.

2. Men over 50???

So, I wanted to make sure this was a real posting from, you know, a credible journalistic source,and therefore, I was just wondering if perhaps they forgot to post the really necessary information about what not to wear if you were a man... was that mysteriously left out, dropped, or did not make it through the journalistic vetting? Just asking, ya know.

7. Men don't get told what to wear.

It's one of the many 'perks' of being male. Just sayin', ya know.

8. many times my wife has said to me "youre not going like that are you?"

so yeah men get told what to wear (i assume though that that's not exactly what was meant )

9. I'm waaaay over

60.
I wear what I want..I go for comfort. I don't dress for others approval. Period. If other people have a problem with what I wear..I guess that is their problem and I would not want to rob Anyone of their moment of that experience.
Have the "judges" taken a look in the mirror and asked themselves: Who do I dress for? If folks want to dress in such a manner to seek public approval? Go for it-but remember, you're not being true to yourself......
