The older I get, the more I'm just happy looking homely with my regular old khakis, jeans, and a t shirt. I think it's b/c us over 30 folks start accumulating so much JUNK, that we stop spending. Also, we feel more secure with ourselves, so we don't really care as much any more. It must be an age thing indeed.

I can attest to your 2 points on 'keeping it classic' and 'nobody knows where it came from'. As a 23-year old male, all my friends are always trying to keep with the latest fashions in t-shirts, jeans, shoes, etc. I, on the other hand, have always keep it pretty simple with clothes from Gap, Old Navy, etc and yet receive more compliments about those than the ones from my friends! Advertisements are there to make us believe what is trendy and 'acceptable' even though a classic style (Solid color polo shirt/jeans) will always be stylish. Great column David.
