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.
I regret my actions that night, I shouldn’t have sworn.
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?
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.
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!
pubes as white as the driven snow.

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

Wilt Chamberlain was putting numbers up too but he wasn’t wearing his 70s shorts and a headband to attract to women into the '90s.
Do you really think Mick Jagger can’t get laid unless he’s dressed like it’s Halloween and he’s going as himself? This is about reliving their youth and not being willing to accept the passage of time. I think you open yourself up to satire if you’re a public figure who has such glaring insecurities

I’m really not. If you read my original comment you’ll see I was speaking hypothetically about how I would dress in my 70s: i.e. for comfort and not to look appealing to the opposite sex. You made this a weird conversation about how much sex this guy is having and what other male celebrities they’re rumoured to have slept with

You missed the part where you were supposed to make a joke. The top of this thread is someone asking how I would choose to dress in my 70s. My answer being ‘not like Mick Jagger’ led to you getting in a huff about how much sex he’s had justifying his choices. It wasn’t a joke, but if that was the intention it was poorly executed. Not sure what anyone has to gain by being so defensive about a man who’s been world famous for about 6 decades, though
maybe not on your legs but as bunny ears?
You probably don’t want to know
He’s also dead. There’s a message in that somewhere.
Message is money and success can buy you a good makeup artist and embalmer I guess. Guy looks great for being dead.
Good point.
I’m 51. My dress code preference stopped aging around 1991.
Im 39. I wear the same pants socks and shoes every day and rotate tshirts.
You mean multiple pairs of the same socks?
Yes
Almost 40. You can then graduate to wearing the same sandals every day.
Same shirt different day.
HEY! CARL! GOOD TO SEE YOU!
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.
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.
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.
Sleeper cell.
