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!
Exactly the way I already dress.
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
Probably. I honestly don’t care what I look like, so I don’t take that advice.
You probably don’t want to know
Yeah but uncomfortably tight leather pants that one woman told me was sexy 40 years ago probably ain’t it

Wilt Chamberlain was putting numbers up too but he wasn’t wearing his 70s shorts and a headband to attract to women into the '90s.
Do you really think Mick Jagger can’t get laid unless he’s dressed like it’s Halloween and he’s going as himself? This is about reliving their youth and not being willing to accept the passage of time. I think you open yourself up to satire if you’re a public figure who has such glaring insecurities
he’s dressed like it’s Halloween and he’s going as himself
I don’t have an opinion on this either way but this description made me cackle

I’m really not. If you read my original comment you’ll see I was speaking hypothetically about how I would dress in my 70s: i.e. for comfort and not to look appealing to the opposite sex. You made this a weird conversation about how much sex this guy is having and what other male celebrities they’re rumoured to have slept with

You missed the part where you were supposed to make a joke. The top of this thread is someone asking how I would choose to dress in my 70s. My answer being ‘not like Mick Jagger’ led to you getting in a huff about how much sex he’s had justifying his choices. It wasn’t a joke, but if that was the intention it was poorly executed. Not sure what anyone has to gain by being so defensive about a man who’s been world famous for about 6 decades, though
maybe not on your legs but as bunny ears?
He’s also dead. There’s a message in that somewhere.
Message is money and success can buy you a good makeup artist and embalmer I guess. Guy looks great for being dead.
Good point.
I’m 51. My dress code preference stopped aging around 1991.
Im 39. I wear the same pants socks and shoes every day and rotate tshirts.
You… mean multiple pairs of socks and pants you go through, right? Right!?
Clean socks daily, pants last all week sometimes.
Just a week?
I wash my jeans once a year whether they need it or not.
Does the username represent the smell of your jeans? 🤧
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.
Almost 40. You can then graduate to wearing the same sandals every day.
You mean multiple pairs of the same socks?
Yes
Same shirt different day.
Damn, they’re still rolling? A play on a rolling stone gathers no moss was an apt name choice
HEY! CARL! GOOD TO SEE YOU!
Sleeper cell.
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.
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.
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.
