Ageless attire

Do you know of any attire that is truly ageless, or age-neutral?

You’re right. Jeans. There is another one. … That would be the backpack.

I love jeans and backpacks. These items are a regular part of my outfit. They are suitable for kids, teens, adults and seniors—not exclusive to any particular age group. Of course, the occasion is important. You can’t wear jeans to a black tie event.











They are gender-neutral, good for people of all shapes and sizes. Jeans have been marketed as a sexy commodity. Sexy or not, they are practical, and you don’t need to think or feel that you are sexy in order to put on a pair.

They are just great inventions. I wish there were more goods, ideas—whatever—that would transcend the age boundary. I hope that, in the world we live in, a time will come when age really doesn’t matter that much. That would be a world radically different from the one we know now.
