Re: The dichotomy: the "Edgy" old guy just looks silly
Ah, a fashion post!
Well, I'm a shopaholic and rather interested in fashion and trends, so adding an edgy element or two at any age will always get the thumbs up from me.
Sure, things like skinny jeans and "guyliner" probably aren't going to work on a guy over 22, unless maybe it's David Bowie, nope, even he is beyond that... and he INVENTED that. But adapting trends and using them in one's own style is highly encouraged.
I'm 37 and a mom. I don't really dress for my stereotype, but I stay within my body type/style limitations and that has been a better guideline than age appropriateness.
Here's my very stylish mother's philosophy, "Life's too short to not wear red."
So go for it if it looks good! If it doesn't look good, the nearest woman will be happy to tell you so.
and all of this makes me say, embrace what you like and think of THIS chorus: (@1:15)
