As times progress, people are placing more emphasis on their personal image, and even the elderly have joined the fashion ranks.
Their level of sophistication and trendiness in dressing is in no way inferior to that of younger people, fully showcasing the exceptional taste and fashion skills of the older generation.
In the recently popular Shanghai street photography, many individuals born in the 1950s, with an average age of over 65, are even more fashionable than those born in the 1990s.
“Elderly fashion” has long been overlooked by the public. In many people’s traditional perception, once a person reaches a certain age, they should switch to “old man shirts” and “granny outfits.” However, this is not actually the case.
Fashion knows no age, and dressing is an attitude. People of any age group have the right to pursue beauty.
For older men and women, dressing exquisitely and fashionably is a manifestation of their self-expression and pursuit of life’s taste, just like the group of elderly men and women on the streets of Shanghai who perfectly interpret the meaning of “senior fashion.”
City Boy Style for Men in Their 50s
The City Boy style is not limited to young boys; it can also be embodied by a white-haired elderly gentleman. Simple and comfortable clothing is the biggest characteristic of the City “Old” Boy.
Wearing a loose, oversized blue striped shirt with a white T-shirt underneath creates a fashionable layered effect. Paired with black shorts, the light and dark color scheme avoids visual aesthetic fatigue and appears more sophisticated. A dark green baseball cap completes the look, making the overall outfit stylish and age-defying.
An all-black outfit is a true test of one’s fashion skills, as it can easily expose one’s age when worn by the elderly. This gentleman is dressed in a black utility jacket paired with matching utility pants.
The consistent style and color scheme vertically elongate the visual line, accentuating his figure. The black polo shirt and white T-shirt underneath reveal a white collar detail, enhancing the layering of the outfit. Wearing Feiyue canvas shoes, he supports domestic products while looking retro and fashionable.
The combination of different items and colors is sufficient to demonstrate the layering skills of the City Boy. A khaki vest layered over a white short-sleeved T-shirt creates a fashionable and unique layered effect.
Wearing a hat and incorporating the utility style of the vest showcases his exceptional taste in fashion and trendy attitude. The deep blue jeans and brown loafers on the bottom create a strong visual contrast of light and dark colors, effectively enriching the overall layering.
