I'd never wear anything around my waist that added inches there! No fannypack/bumbag for ME!!!

Guys seem to get the better end of the deal over 50 . . . if they still have a behind, they can get away with nice jeans for awhile.

But how do they look in a speedo?

agreed, on the guys....

unless I feel like I'm in a place I could get mugged or have it grabbed, I wear my fanny pack hanging on my shoulder. you're right; don't need ANY extra inches on the butt...

Speedos are just WRONG unless you're in competition and under 30.

And here is a question . . .

Where DO older guys' bottoms go?

I don't think older women should wear fussy trim on dress clothes . . . no gold buttons or buckles . . . on jackets or belts or coats . . .

Nothing nautical!

(Instant country club passé.)

Fancy trims are in the same category as handbags - GONE!

No man should wear plaid pants and a polo with the collar turned up...

Apologies to anyone who finds these opinions hurtful. Somehow, I don't think we have too many huge fashion faux pas on BN!

What about women over 45 who insist on wearing tiny floral print under denim or corduroy pinafores (jumpers, in the US)??? They look like runaways from kindergarten!

Not unless he's in the community theater production of CADDYSHACK, and he's in costume....

I think that people over 45 should not be allowed to wear hawaiian shirts or anything tropical

No turned up collars ever AGAIN!

What about old rock and metal Ts with the contrasting color basebal sleeves? Time to toss those AWAY!!!!!! (or archive them!)

That sound you hear in the background is my hubby crying about his collections of hawaiian shirts.
