None. IMHO everyone is free to express herself/himself (& face any related consequences - eg suspension for not following school dress code; ridicule for inappropriateness)

I don't know if this qualifies as a fashion statement, but wearing clothes 2 sizes too small is something I'd encourage people of ALL ages to say no to.
Over-tanned skinned with fried bleach blonde hair. All the rage in the 80s. Looks totally Crypt Creeper now. I know a few ladies well into their 50s who can't let go of this look.

I know that the expiration date for wearing jeans is 53 First of all, that's crazy! And how did they come up with 53??? I just bought a new gray pair today. |

Well, I am always vocal about how these age-based proscriptions should be ignored. But rompers on adult women just bug the crap out of me. All I can think about when I see one is "is she going to have enough time to get out of that thing before she pees her pants?" So, outside of rompers, anything goes. YES! We have a long standing joke at work about rompers on adults. It's just wrong. |

I know that the expiration date for wearing jeans is 53. Sad. I will be there next month. You will have to pull them off of my cold, dead body. Well, unless I start digging the elastic top pants that the Golden Girls sometimes wore. I realize jeans aren't (generally) classy, but I'm not really a classy gal. I'm a comfy girl. Whoever told you that is wrong, wrong, wrong.    Only look I don't like on people of any age are large ear gauges and mouth grills! |

Hell, no. I wear jeans practically all winter and I'm 70! I know. I read an article that said 53 was "the age" and I thought almost everyone who still gets around wears jeans. I have no idea what I would wear. Gabardine "slacks" and a sensible blouse? Ugh. I refuse to think that I have to stop wearing jeans in 8 years. It will take me that much longer to find a pair that really fits well! |

None. I don't believe in such a thing. Wear what you want! You managed to get this far in life, embrace it and enjoy it!

Where in the heck did you read this? I'll be 58 in 6 days. Thanks to my whole food, plant based diet I can rock a NYDJ size 4 pair of jeans. Got on the scale today. I weigh 128 pounds. 3 pounds over my goal weight of 125-winter weight. But get this-it's 3 pounds less than the weight on my driver's license that I found when I was 17! I believe a woman can wear jeans whatever size and shape she is until she is 101 if she wants to. F*ck fashion rules according to age. You can't wear your hair below your shoulders after 40, and on and on. Who makes this stuff up? Wear what you want if it makes you happy. Wear it with confidence. |

I'm soon to be 60, and I'm so happy on my days off to wear my skinny jeans! I love my job, but when I think about retirement, wearing jeans more often is very appealing to me. And not setting the alarm!!

I have a couple basketball jerseys from the 80/90s including from the US Basketball Dream Team.
I feel that now that I am in my 40s, I’d be uncomfortable wearing them out and about.
I still hang on to them, because you never know!

Pro tip: jean jackets look great on anyone of any age. I saw old people and younger people wearing them tonight. A jean jacket is a good investment in a wardrobe. If you are thifty check out second-hand stores as I got a nice RL one there. I have a white denim one and i love it, too!

Shorts, knee high socks and sandals. Cute on little boys aged 2 or 3yo, but never on grown men. On a personal level in general I have a thing about men wearing sandals...  Unless it's a movie with lots of muscly men set in Roman times, then it's passable, but all other times it's a turn off for me. Again little boys are an exception, cute until they are about 5 and then never again. |

It's time that women stopped ridiculing and tut tutting other women for their clothing choices.
I've worn jumpsuits many times and not once peed myself!!

"is she going to have enough time to get out of that thing before she pees her pants?" this makes me laugh - since i spent time on the current TMI thread about peeing ourselves! On a personal level in general I have a thing about men wearing sandals... what about men in crocs? it's all my DH wears in the summer - and they (all three pairs) are camo colored he did reitre his jorts and now only wears dickies work shorts bless his heart - gina |

Straps that clip onto or attached to the front and back of your pants and go up over your shoulders. Ah, yes, I remember now 🙂We call them braces and suspenders are for holding up stockings, as in lingerie. Haha! I bet that did sound weird! I always called the straps for holding up stockings a garter belt. |

Yep, I'm definitely a wear what you want.
But I don't like certain things due to personal preference or how I perceive it. Doesn't mean you shouldn't wear it.

I think there is an age limit on assless chaps or is that an occupational issue? Not sure. But, if you like it wear it. I don't care.

While I mostly agree with the "rock whatever you want" philosophy, I think we can all get behind this: As a pre-teen/young teen in the 80's, most of us sported some version of these eyeglasses AND we had tiny gold stickers that we put on them. I had a butterfly, my friend had a shamrock, etc. All stuff bought at the optometrist! NO ONE should wear these glasses at any age.  Attachments:

where in the world did you get that from? I see women up to 80 still wearing jeans. cripes.
