If I like Joe Browns clothes does it mean I'm old?

[Bitofachinwag]

I suspect it does!

No.

It does mean you've internalised some unhelpful stereotypes about age, though

No. Choose clothes you like, not what other people think you should be wearing.

Perfect response 👌

My reply was going to be, "No, because I am old and can't imagine wearing Joe Brown, though I may have done if it existed in the 90s"

@Standrewsschool

No. Choose clothes you like, not what other people think you should be wearing.

Yes I know.....:)

No. But I don't think you would look particularly fashion forward if you are even bothered about that type of thing. (I am not BTW)

I'm not really bothered, but when you get to a certain age what you wear can make you look 10 years older or 10 years younger!

I hope not! I love Joe Browns.

Apparently I'm really frumpy because I like Seasalt.

Fortunately I don't give a fuck

I loved Joe Browns the most when I was in my early twenties. I'm late thirties now and a lot of it looks awful to me now.

Make of that what you will.

Same. It went the way of Per Una really quickly.

I dunno - when i was younger it looked too old/try hard - now i'm older it looks too young!

Shit, I'm wearing a Joe Browns dress right now. It does have monkeys on it though. Am 44.

Shit I'm 51 and most of my tops are Joe Brown...............

Goes off to hide in the naughty corner!

Well I'd love to say no. But actually I am old. (Sorry)

It depends what items you pick and how you combine them. You could go into any shop and combine fashionable items in a way that isn't currently fashionable. I don't understand how people can say if you wear from a particular shop or brand you're not fashionable, but if you buy from other shops or brands you are. I think comments like that show a lack of imagination for the individual flair each person brings to their own style.

I really like a lot of Joe Browns but it's so expensive. I'd buy it all if I won the lottery 😂

Ooooooo :) Thanks!

I’d say more quirky than old, which you can be at any age.

Oh, it keeps coming up on my FB and I like quite a few things. I thought it looked like it could update my wardrobe

I’m 42 and have a dress thing, and I like some of the 70’s collection. I just like what I like though.

I don't think so, I think some of their clothes are a bit garish but I like some of the pieces.
I bought a beautiful black cardigan/jacket with roses on it some years ago but I think it's made of plastic or something because it's too hot to wear unless it's snowing. It would be great for an Everest expedition.

So true
