Are you kidding me? With all the dough spent on a decent wardrobe, I'll definitely be wearing the same stuff ( or kind of stuff) I'm wearing now- the difference being that I won't care if I'm overdressed.

Truth be told, as I get older I think i'll be getting more sportcoats and less suits.

Southern Florida comes to mind.

I rarely follow the style of people my same age.  The best dressers I've met are in their golden years -- Mimmo Siviglia, who's in his 70s. tops my list.

I find it goes own of two ways.  Either a man becomes increasingly refined in age, or they adopt the pure comfort route.

Recall, with a generation that has largely passed, the man who wore blue, red, or beige one piece outfits for day-to-day and Havana shirts for anything else.  Typically there was something in the hair, well-combed, and a lot of Old Spice.  Comfort is not a new phenomenon.  I met more than a few well off retirees sporting this look.

Hopefully, wearing shoes with good support now will be of benefit in future years.  Who wants "dress" New Balance black shoes.

Not for the first time, I find myself wishing I'd inherited my grandfather's wardrobe (I still have some cufflinks, his tweed Crombie and his leather wallet). Lots of nice bright knitwear, blazers, suede shoes, very easy going and Astaire-esque.
At least, 25 years later, I am well on the way to inheriting his hair

I see meself as a dapper gentleman that I am and will be dressing the part as I will not be doing brute labor and building empires on sweat equity any longer.
