Does style have to reflect your age?

some women can get away with anything because they look younger than their age.I say,if it fits you well and you are comfortable with it,then wear it.age doesn't really have to dictate style.comfort and fit should dictate what you wear.don't mind other people's opinions.maybe they're just jealous because you're confident about yourself.

No one should 'have' to dress in anything they don't want to. And to do it because of age related issues? I don't care, probably because I still look like I'm in high school. I'll always dress in my skateboard clothes, I just like them. So I get the whole "You should look more like your age" speech too. Like you said, wear what's comfortable for you.

I don't understand this phenomenon either. I never have. I am 34 (but people think I look 10 years younger) and I honestly still dress the same way I did when I was 24... My wardrobe is mostly jeans and shirts, workout clothes, etc. I like low rise boot cut jeans, cords, shorts, flared yoga pants, capris, etc. Yes, I shop in the juniors dept but I wear a small size. The only thing I can tell you about 'age appropriate' dressing is that either it costs you an arm and a leg (have you ever seen What Not To Wear? Stacy and Clinton are NUTS) or the clothes are downright ugly and do not fit nor flatter. I'm sure you have heard of the 'mom jeans' thing. Well I'm a mom and I'm not even a young mom but you can take a pair of juniors jeans off a 17 year old and put it on me and that's what I wear. I don't have a single pair of 'mom jeans' in my closet and I never will. Polyester? Please. Seasonal or themed sweatsuits? No way. Anything shapeless to hide under? Never. Style should reflect how you see yourself. I don't feel that it has anything to do with your age. However if you look older than you are, you might have to tweak something to get away with it lol.

Well if u want to get down to it im 43 and im not worried about style. Style should not have anything to do with age its how u feel about urself that tells ur age. Thats right dress comfortably dont worry about what people think

Yes, you look older if your clothes are out of date. If you wear stylish clothes, you look much younger although you are old. Maybe your clothes are too gaudy or something that makes you look like a teenager. Or perhaps the clothes you are wearing does not at all reflect what you are.

I'm the same age as you timmons, however I look like I'm 19! LOL So with me looking so young I can kinda get away with dressing like a younger person. But recently I've been coming to the realization that I'm almost 30 years old now, so it's time for me to start dressing accordingly so I can be taken more serious. It's like my dad always used to tell me growing up, clothes make the man...

I am the same way i love music and fashion, although i'm only 18 yet. I think the only way to dress "age appropriate" is to dress yourself on how you are feeling. Just because your an "Adult" doesnt mean you have to stop reading the seventeen or vogue magazines and pick up some martha stewart or home living. You just have to make wise grown-up decisions, now if the clothing is offending people on the other hand thats a different story, but from what you explained it doesnt sound like it. Clothing and style expresses who you are, and if you are comfortable with that i would stick with what you think and not those people. Unless they know exactly how confident you feel with your fashion sense they cant really tell you what to do. Besides youre an adult and arent adults allowed to make their "own" decisions... Maybe they are all just jelous? Hope what i said was helpfull:)
