What, in your opinion, are some fashion trends best left for the much younger crowd by men and women over, let's say, 45?? I'm talking about us folks with average builds who still have youth but not washboard abs or surgically-enhanced components!!!!

also, what do some people wear that just makes them look old and unfashionable, when they're really not?

Only a VERY small percentage of the population can wear those "hipster" style pants and look good ......
So why - when I went shopping yesterday for trousers - could I find none that were a normal fit?
I still believe that people should be able to wear what they choose, regardless of shape or size ...... but that also means, I choose to wear clothes that suit my shape - I should be able to still buy them!

For sure, Jenny! No one wants to look matronly over 40 either . . .
I think handbags are a dead giveaway of age . . . too big and bulky looks so sloppy and aging.

what do you carry all your "stuff" in?
I have a backpack that goes most places with me and a fanny pack for just a wallet, keys, etc.

If just going somewhere on a weekend? wallet, keys and phone go in my pockets

(I have a small wallett so it fits in pockets - safer for when I travel to other countries too!)
for work - I have a backpack - its a nice one tho!
Fanny pack

(ya know what it means on this side of the world?? I think you meant bum bag!
