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.

[-] dumbass@leminal.space 7 points 8 months ago

I regret my actions that night, I shouldn't have sworn.

[-] Num10ck@lemmy.world 80 points 8 months ago

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?

[-] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 37 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

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.

[-] Num10ck@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

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!

[-] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 29 points 8 months ago

Exactly the way I already dress.

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 months ago

The only exception is I wear slightly nicer clothes to work. Like, an actually clean shirt and pants.

[-] psud@aussie.zone 4 points 8 months ago

I think the advice "Dress for yourself" is mostly intended for people who like to look good

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago

Probably. I honestly don't care what I look like, so I don't take that advice.

[-] Jimbo@yiffit.net 11 points 8 months ago

You probably don't want to know

[-] moon@lemmy.ml 10 points 8 months ago

Yeah but uncomfortably tight leather pants that one woman told me was sexy 40 years ago probably ain't it

[-] Num10ck@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

maybe not on your legs but as bunny ears?

[-] TomMasz@lemmy.world 41 points 8 months ago

He’s also dead. There’s a message in that somewhere.

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 28 points 8 months ago

Message is money and success can buy you a good makeup artist and embalmer I guess. Guy looks great for being dead.

[-] johsny@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

Good point.

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 25 points 8 months ago

I'm 51. My dress code preference stopped aging around 1991.

[-] Steve@startrek.website 12 points 8 months ago

Im 39. I wear the same pants socks and shoes every day and rotate tshirts.

[-] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 6 points 8 months ago

You... mean multiple pairs of socks and pants you go through, right? Right!?

[-] Steve@startrek.website 4 points 8 months ago

Clean socks daily, pants last all week sometimes.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I wash my jeans once a year whether they need it or not.

[-] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 2 points 8 months ago

Does the username represent the smell of your jeans? 🤧

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago

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.

[-] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 months ago

You mean multiple pairs of the same socks?

[-] Steve@startrek.website 2 points 8 months ago
[-] veroxii@aussie.zone 3 points 8 months ago

Almost 40. You can then graduate to wearing the same sandals every day.

[-] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago

Same shirt different day.

[-] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 11 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Damn, they're still rolling? A play on a rolling stone gathers no moss was an apt name choice

[-] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 10 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

HEY! CARL! GOOD TO SEE YOU!

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 months ago

Sleeper cell.

[-] bstix@feddit.dk 2 points 8 months ago

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.

[-] Coreidan@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

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.

[-] bstix@feddit.dk 1 points 8 months ago
[-] ElderWendigo@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago

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.
