My favorite story about Charlie Watts:
“One anecdote relates that in the mid-1980s, an intoxicated Jagger phoned Watts’s hotel room in the middle of the night, asking, “Where’s my drummer?” Watts reportedly got up, shaved, dressed in a suit, put on a tie and freshly shined shoes, descended the stairs, and punched Jagger in the face, saying: “Never call me your drummer again. You’re my fucking singer!”[44][45] He expressed regret for the incident in 2003, attributing his behaviour to alcohol.[20]”
70 year olds should dress however they want. not trying to get promoted or laid or whatever. what would you dress like if nobody was watching?
See now I see what you’re saying, but apart from certain designated places, most people don’t tend to like it when you walk the streets completely naked.
The only exception is I wear slightly nicer clothes to work. Like, an actually clean shirt and pants.
I think the advice “Dress for yourself” is mostly intended for people who like to look good
Yeah but uncomfortably tight leather pants that one woman told me was sexy 40 years ago probably ain’t it
Wilt Chamberlain was putting numbers up too but he wasn’t wearing his 70s shorts and a headband to attract to women into the '90s.
Do you really think Mick Jagger can’t get laid unless he’s dressed like it’s Halloween and he’s going as himself? This is about reliving their youth and not being willing to accept the passage of time. I think you open yourself up to satire if you’re a public figure who has such glaring insecurities
He’s also dead. There’s a message in that somewhere.
I’m 51. My dress code preference stopped aging around 1991.
Im 39. I wear the same pants socks and shoes every day and rotate tshirts.
You… mean multiple pairs of socks and pants you go through, right? Right!?
You can actually get away with the same exact pair of socks a few times if you get good merino wool. My cotton sucks smell the moment I put them on, but my wool socks don’t start smelling until day three or four.
So that’s what I do, I rotate through a few pair of wool socks so I don’t have to fold them as often. Works pretty well, and it makes for light packing if I go hiking or something.
Damn, they’re still rolling? A play on a rolling stone gathers no moss was an apt name choice
