What clothes do you wear...
that you really shouldn't be wearing anymore?
I have a pair of jeans that I've been wearing since I was 18. They were probably the first article of clothing I bought after starting college. I was wearing them when I first met my fiance, so they have some sentimental value. On the other hand, my jeans size and entire body type has changed since buying them. They now hang low enough around my hips that I can only wear them with long shirts or super-low-rise undies. The seat is stretched-out and saggy and the knees have completely dissolved, and the ends are about as frayed as possible. Needless to say, they have gone from my favorite jeans color, dark indigo, to a shade that harks back to the days of high-tops and Mayim Bialik. And yet, I can't seem to stop wearing them, let alone throw them out. Something about really old denim makes it sooo soft and comfortable, and besides, sentimental value, man! Am I alone in this? |

I have a very faded, shallow cord, brown jacket that is ugly, but I love it.

I have some shirts that I have had for a good 3-4 years (a lot for someone under 25 and I wear them regularly every week). It is starting to rip under the armpits and I hate the new "style" of clothes so it is hard to find shirts I like.

pantyhose. They are so "out" now, but my bare legs look worse.

Pocket Tee and jeans everywhere, all the time, except one dark Blue(Boeing) shirt and a blue tie with automotive differentials, for funerals. No Peacock in me. No Shel, none.

As a 31-year-old, I probably have no business wearing lime green Crocs...but I do anyway because they rule as much as I do.

As for clothes that I wear that I shouldn't anymore, I think I got rid of most of them. I like to wear pants under my dresses - like jeans or cords. I am sure it looks ridiculous, but it's comfortable and keeps me warm.

Actually I have these shorts that were issued to me, they call them UDT shorts. We wore them all the time on deployment. They are really short. I have big legs and so they even look shorter. I wore them out once and I will never wear them again like that. I didn't think it would be that big of a deal but I guess a dude in short shorts is a no go. They were really comfortable. Here is what they look like:
