My favorite story about Charlie Watts:

"One anecdote relates that in the mid-1980s, an intoxicated Jagger phoned Watts's hotel room in the middle of the night, asking, "Where's my drummer?" Watts reportedly got up, shaved, dressed in a suit, put on a tie and freshly shined shoes, descended the stairs, and punched Jagger in the face, saying: "Never call me your drummer again. You're my fucking singer!"[44][45] He expressed regret for the incident in 2003, attributing his behaviour to alcohol.[20]"

I love this every time I read it.

I regret my actions that night, I shouldn't have sworn.

70 year olds should dress however they want. not trying to get promoted or laid or whatever. what would you dress like if nobody was watching?

See now I see what you're saying, but apart from certain designated places, most people don't tend to like it when you walk the streets completely naked.

pubes as white as the driven snow.

Depends how confident you are about it. I've known a few people over the years who could pull it off. They would leave everyone else wondering if they are overdressed!

[-] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago

Exactly the way I already dress.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

The only exception is I wear slightly nicer clothes to work. Like, an actually clean shirt and pants.

I think the advice "Dress for yourself" is mostly intended for people who like to look good

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Probably. I honestly don't care what I look like, so I don't take that advice.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

You probably don't want to know

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Yeah but uncomfortably tight leather pants that one woman told me was sexy 40 years ago probably ain't it

maybe not on your legs but as bunny ears?

He’s also dead. There’s a message in that somewhere.

[-] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago

Message is money and success can buy you a good makeup artist and embalmer I guess. Guy looks great for being dead.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Good point.

I'm 51. My dress code preference stopped aging around 1991.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Im 39. I wear the same pants socks and shoes every day and rotate tshirts.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

You... mean multiple pairs of socks and pants you go through, right? Right!?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Clean socks daily, pants last all week sometimes.

I wash my jeans once a year whether they need it or not.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Does the username represent the smell of your jeans? 🤧

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You can actually get away with the same exact pair of socks a few times if you get good merino wool. My cotton sucks smell the moment I put them on, but my wool socks don't start smelling until day three or four.

So that's what I do, I rotate through a few pair of wool socks so I don't have to fold them as often. Works pretty well, and it makes for light packing if I go hiking or something.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Almost 40. You can then graduate to wearing the same sandals every day.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

You mean multiple pairs of the same socks?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago
[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Same shirt different day.

Damn, they're still rolling? A play on a rolling stone gathers no moss was an apt name choice

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

HEY! CARL! GOOD TO SEE YOU!

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Sleeper cell.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Sure, but which one? Most contemporary 70 y/os are eccentric as fuck.

I suppose it's meant to point out the guy to the right, who is wearing the millennial retro dork suit. This is the same as what Mr. beast wears right?

The other 3 are wearing 1970s, 1980s and 1990s retro suits in that order.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

What in the fuck is a “retro suit”? The guy on the right is wearing a button down shirt with a wind breaker. No one in this pic is wearing anything resembling a suit in any way.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Exactly. Three of them are dressed like Grandma out shopping for fused glass jewelry and shawls that look like they were knitted by a crow at the local outdoor art market. The other one looks like Grandpa.
