I haven't a clue what you're talking about. Who cares about your age - except Koreans? Once you get really old, you'll just dress for the weather anyway.

I am gripped in a sudden wave of insecurity. Is it time to start dressing like I'm at work, when I'm not at work? What do people my age even wear?

In before the Dave's Fashion Police make their flashy and impractical but fashionable entrance down the catwalk of this thread.

LOL @ "no one over 25 should ever wear shorts for any reason outside of the gym."

No, but I do love Larry David.

But there was a thread recently about Korean fashion where the "fashionable" members of Dave's were spewing all this crazy b.s. about what people should and should never wear.

I love that girls can get away with so much more.

In warm weather, I wear sleeveless blouse-style dresses with shorts.

When it gets cold, I wear black yoga pants and cute, long sweaters to work. I do teach at elementary, and make sure to wear some long black pearls or something to dress it up, but it's so much easier than it is for my male counterparts.
