I am a teacher and I joke that I practice being retired every summer. I don’t know what it will look like for me in my 70’s when my body ages more but lots of hobbies and good relationships is what fulfills me. Playing cards, exercise, shooting, keeping things in order, Bible study, getting lunch with friends, hanging out with my wife. Waking up slow, being well rested and fully enjoying the things I actually enjoy is what I hope retirement looks like for me. The older friends I have or my dad for example have struggled with retirement if their lives were almost only work and didn’t have lots of hobbies or a good social circle prior to retiring. Maybe try and build that? I’m not speaking from a place of real experience though so I’m excited to see what others say!

I like side tabs. I had to get rid of those I had and I’ve never replaced them. I’ve been too cheap lol. They were my favorite pants but what I paid $90 for became like $250 today… I should probably bite the bullet and do it, so elegant and comfortable!

I think it depends. In Spain and Argentina for example, lots of young people will wear graphic t’s even if it’s not as common as in the US.

@Aria Keshavarz welcome Aria, I hope you are well. I’m not sure how things are for you but what little we see and hear of Iran it’s looks a little crazy right now! Stay safe!

@Nicholas Boyce welcome. I had the same realization. I owned dress clothing but when an occasion called for a blazer I was stuck with nothing. I felt out of place and quickly not only fixed it but found a new hobby/passion. I hope you have fun making some changes!

I have pants I wear with boots to work (office environment) that I wear as they come from the store. However if I want to wear loafers or something like that they have to be tailored. Something about the boot allows a little more length or “bag” and they look like they fit. If I put my tailored pants on that have been shortened for dress shoes or sandals they look ridiculous and too short. So I have 3-4 pair of pants where I own two of the same pair, one for wear with boots I call work pants even if I sit at a desk all day. Then I have those same pants tailored to be worn with loafers, sandals or whatever that’s not a boot. However, I think Chelseas or chukkas often wear more like a dress shoe than a boot, so it depends what kind of boot you’re after.
