Clothes you have "retired" or "put away" with age...

[Kouros]

As Kenny Rogers said "You got to know when to hold 'em, and know when to fold 'em".

What articles of clothing have you given up with age since you can no longer "pull them off"?

For me it would have to be:

1) Black leather jackets - does nothing for my complexion.

2) Jean shorts - loved them in high school and college but look silly now.

3) Sneakers - will only wear them to the gym.

I'm in the process of trying to find these a new home as we speak. I haven't worn them in a decade.

Looks like someone sustained a nasty injury there!

LOL Actually they are still in excellent condition.I just don't ride anymore. The one time I hit a deer I wasn't wearing them. Thats my luck...

The Members Only jacket I picked up a few years ago. I guess the last member will be retiring.

Ah, jorts. I used to wear these exclusively during the summer. Now I don't have any.

Had to give up my tan "Ike length" London Fog jacket. Probably didn't look that good when I wore it in high school but we thought we were cool. And we were right!

One thing I feel I am retiring, and I hope it will not be a permanent thing is the funky, colorful shirts I have been known for wearing. Between the weight gain and the fact I have been in the mood for a simpler designs, I temporarily put my old shirts in storage to see how I feel about my current clothing style.

I have one of those hanging in my attic. Somehow dressing like a u-boat captain seemed like a good idea at the time.
