[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. I suspect that the older that you get, the more that you need to be really thoughtful about investing in your clothes in order to look stylish.  The 20-somethings can throw on something fairly cheap and unstructured, and still pull it off.  We can't.  A bit of structure is good, and worth paying for.  Also worth paying more for shoes that are comfortable AND interesting looking.

Same deal with hair.  It was easy to just let it be in my 20s, but now that I'm in my 40s it needs much more maintenance, and the greys are beginning to change the texture a bit (even when they're covered up).  Whatever you do, don't grow your hair long if it doesn't look good - much better to have a shorter cut that flatters you than a long do that drags you down  [/quote]

You also need to invest more to staying fit, watching your weight and your health.  20-somethings can usually get away at doing the bare minimum but as you age, staying healthy (and looking good) takes a lot more effort.[/quote]

I personally think people need to stay fit, watch their weight and health at ANY age. It's pretty hard to get into fitness in your 50s because it needs to be a lifestyle. Whatever you do OP, please strength train so you can maintain bone density into old age. [/quote]
