In reply to Graham Lowe. I agree that vests are great! I wore them a lot when I was younger, then fell out of the habit, and I've lately begun wearing them more frequently. Here in Texas, they're a way to add a contrasting layer without overheating, and when worn with jeans or chinos and western boots tends to fit in as "western wear" unless people look closely. I get vests with self-backing, not satin backs, as I often wear them without a jacket.

In reply to Kelly Dunn. I am still stuck in the preppie look because I like it, it's comfortable and it's adaptable. I agree that riding in the airplane in the equivalent of you jockey shorts is offensive to the other passengers and labels you (for what you are) without any query

I think classic style worn with joy and abandon makes us look younger. I am 75, but everyone says I am dapper (not as positive a word in my native UK as it seems here in Canada). I am careful with my clothes budget, but I have fun wearing a pale cream tuxedo…. Others of my age group are terrified of standing out which actually makes one look older as one ages. I love waistcoats (or vests here in America), but I only have three. They cover up the waistband of the more corpulent…. Yes, dapper but portly. I never wear tee shirts outside of the bedroom, preferring casual button-downs or, at a pinch, solid golf shirts (i.e. Ralph Lauren iconic Polo). My shorts are strictly for cycling (and short… 5ins) replaced by chinos for the beach.

But to really look younger: for goodness sake, look as though you are having fun, laugh WITH others and AT yourself, and try not to make cruel jokes…. That ages you into a wrinkled Archie Bunker.

Enjoy your stage in life!

Keep yourself well-groomed (e.g., make sure your hair style and facial hair are flattering for your face and maintain the style and length, wear clothes that fit well, bathe regularly, keep nails clean and trimmed, etc., etc., etc.) and you will look as young as possible without coming across as absurd or foolish.

BUT I don’t went to dress young! I must confess that I am a crotchety 68-year old. Any more, it seems the worst offenders are 15-30 and are clueless as to how one dresses appropriately (E. g. gym clothes on a commercial jet flight!)
