64 here and still wear what I wore (mostly) in my teens – jeans and T-shirts. Don’t wear the fashion stuff from that decade but only wore that for going out anyway!
My style: black. Tees with “woke” 🙄 messages. Leggings or dresses. My big gut and tooth pick legs don’t lend themselves well to jeans. I guess what’s different is I don’t know what the current style is and I don’t care.
I have a pretty stable sense of self (sounds pompous, I don’t mean it to be), I’m still dressing the same way I established in late high school and college. Mostly classic things that don’t go out of style because they aren’t trendy. I feel no need to “dress my age.” I am who I am.
63, jeans, sweatshirts, flannels for winter. Spring through fall usually shorts, t-shirts. The last couple years in the summer I’ve been wearing a lot of button up short sleeved shirts.
I (59) just dressed for my first day at a new tech job. I pulled out my trusty Alexander Julian Colours polo from the early 90s. Still looks fresh. They don’t make them like they used to.
I’m 58F and I’ve just rediscovered Free People, which is way to young for me, at least according to the models. Yet, I figure no one cares how I look anymore, so why not wear what I want/am comfortable in? If someone approaches me out in the world and says “I think you are dressed much too young for your age” I might just politely (or impolitely) tell them to f* all the way off.
I don’t even know what “dress my age” means. I have Keens or Vans or Hokas on my feet. I have jeans or cargo pants or shorts on my legs. I have T-shirts or floral shirts or sport shirts on my trunk, I have ball caps or brimmed hats on my head. Is that not my age?
I’m 60. At the moment, I’m wearing a Nirvana t-shirt and black Wrangler jeans.
Yes, there are times that I will wear something “old age” like a knit sweater (hey, my wife gave it to me!), but generally, I’m still wearing the same things I did 40 years ago – Jeans, T-shirts, sweatshirts, … mostly whatever is comfortable.
I am 55 years old. Today I wear a bright purple, full length skirt, a black, knitted jumper, and a pale purple shawl. Hair pinned in a simple bun. Dark purple lipstick.
wear whatever floats my boat. i love track suits, not them 70s-80s one, neither. jeans, tees, whatever shirt i like, shorts, all sorts of sports gear. mostly not like the majority of men my age. but i never did.
to some degree, age and style dont matter. but, iain even wearing no skinny jeans. close fit, maybe.
im going to play bball this morning. ill be wearing my long ass 90s streetballer shorts.
I just wear what I feel like wearing, which, during colder months, is usually workout leggings and a flannel shirt or a hoodie.
During warmer months, I wear shorts of some sort (sometimes “cargo” with lots of pockets because I don’t carry a purse) and a t-shirt or a blouse.
Shoes are slip-on “sock sneakers” or sandals, or boots when there’s a lot of snow outdoors.
I couldn’t tell you what “age” my style is. My clothing is probably not what most people approaching 70 are wearing, but I’m “sporty” and I’ve been told, “You’re always so well put-together” so what I wear works for me.
Also: No makeup. I just can’t be bothered — and I have avoiding spending so much money on that stuff, I must now pat myself on the back.
I’m almost 63 and wear American Eagle clothes all the time, so probably not. Who cares anyway? I didn’t quit dressing kinda slutty until I was almost 50.
I’m 62 and I wear jeans and t-shirts, still wear a bikini. I have given up on underwear and bras. Don’t care about style, don’t care about looking young. I care about smoking a bowl and relaxing.

Still wear doc martens and a motorcycle jacket . Every 15-20 years I’m in style again .
I don’t know what it means to “dress my age” or how to “age” styles, but I asked my 16-year-old, and they said I “dress like an old person”.

60s and I’ve been dressing in plain black since I was the black magic woman at 16 in the 1970s.
I (59) just dressed for my first day at a new tech job. I pulled out my trusty Alexander Julian Colours polo from the early 90s. Still looks fresh. They don’t make them like they used to.
I wouldn’t know how to rate it.
If I am going out with my wife casual but a little nicer – nice chelsea boots, jeans, and a button down or sweater. If not, jeans, vans, and a hoodie.
Dunno, threw out ALL rule books
I do and wear what I want

So, is this young, old, eccentric?
I’m 56. My standard is jeans, a tshirt, and sneakers.
I’m 70 and haven’t changed my style much.
I will say that I do not wear “Dad/Grandfather pants”. I like the skinny fit Levis that have a tiny bit of stretch to them.
to some degree, age and style dont matter. but, iain even wearing no skinny jeans. close fit, maybe.

Generally a button down, jeans, and nice sneaks.
66 here, will turn 67 this year.

I don’t worry about style.
Never have I given a thought to “style”. I wear what I want. Mostly it a t shirt and these days it’s leggings since I rarely leave the house.
I’m almost 63 and wear American Eagle clothes all the time, so probably not. Who cares anyway? I didn’t quit dressing kinda slutty until I was almost 50.
57F and I live in graphic tees, shorts, and flip-flops year-round. It’s a blazing hot country and I’m all about comfort.
I’m 62 and I wear jeans and t-shirts, still wear a bikini. I have given up on underwear and bras. Don’t care about style, don’t care about looking young. I care about smoking a bowl and relaxing.
75 here, in the cooler months I wear Levi’s with a Henley long sleeve, warmer months I wear shorts and Henley’s or a polo shirt with sandals.
What is this ‘dress your age’ thing? I dress in a way that I like and that I feel comfortable with. Nothing more, nothing less.
What age is jeans and t-shirt weekends and some work days, jeans and nice two-button shirts other work days?
That’s been my style for a couple decades now.
70
Winter: Leggings and tunics or wool joggers and cashmere turtlenecks.
Summer: Linen
Overalls and t shirts for gardening.
I dress just like I did in high school or college-usually jeans and a top. I still wear Korkees. My dresses are plain and tailored. I’m just the same.
I guess, mostly jeans and tshirts. Occasionally golf pants and a polo.
IDK. My 5 year old great-granddaughter says I remind her a thrift store mannequin.
