i believe in staying fashionable but it's important not to be 'too' trendy in middle age. leave the 'loud' and 'statement pieces' to the zoomers. it's a prerogative of youth to wear extremely skinny/baggy trousers, to sport an experimental haircut or facial hair, etc. nobody in their mid-30s has any business wearing high-designer baggy jeans. that shit looks desperate and dumb.

there's an implicit 'passing of the torch' with this stuff. there's something faintly embarrassing about middle-aged people chasing trends too hard. yes, they can afford it all much easier than the bright young things. but it's their arena. don't be the old guy at the back of the club.
