How To Dress Appropriately As You Age

Many of us over 50 are quite confused about how we should present ourselves. We're unsure about the kind of image we are projecting and whether or not we are correct as we try to conform to current fashions. Despite what you may have seen on the streets, the following combinations DO NOT go together and should be avoided:


1. A nose ring and bifocals

2. Spiked hair and bald spots

3. A pierced tongue and dentures

4. Miniskirts and support hose

5. Ankle bracelets and corn pads

6. Speedos and cellulite

7. A belly button ring and a gall bladder surgery scar

8. Unbuttoned disco shirts and a heart monitor

9. Midriff shirts and a midriff bulge

10. Bikinis and liver spots

11. Short shorts and varicose veins

12. In-line skates and a walker

And the ultimate 'Bad Taste' in fashion :

13. Thongs and Depends

Please keep these basic guidelines foremost in your
mind when you shop.

Hypothetically speaking, if one had violated 7 of the 13 listed, would one win some sort of a prize? Just curious!

yeh.#13 was one of my favorites too. The picture of that is priceless. These suggestions make the Walmart pics look tame!

Default It Depends...

If they started making a "slim-line" Depends, #13 might very well be an option!

The thong could double as the Depends if very self-absorbent.
