what's the age...
that you should beging to re-evaluate your current style?
My friends often talk about this..i'm almost 22 and I often find I dress like i'm 16 because I go for the funky/fun look... We think long hair might be a teenage thing or an old haggered milf thing...i recently just got mine cut and I look and feel way more fresh/sophisticated..Now I love my clothes but i'm thinking there might be an age i'm going to have to tone it down..WHAT IS THAT AGE?

wow 22... better get you some slacks and orthopedic shoes soon.
Generally I would say ones style slowly changes with there age, so I wouldn't put much thought into it imo. Wear whats comfortable and suits you. I dont understand this whole thought process were people feel that once they hit a certain age they need to act differently and look different. If your fun/ funky person then dress it, and if work needs a more conservative look then go buy come more conservative clothes to wear there.

It just happens.
You know how you're all thinking about it lately? Eventually you will do it, and then it will have happened. And then later it will happen again, and again and again. There's no set chronological hurdles.. when you're comfortable with your style or, as other Dave put it, "station in life", then you're comfortable to let status quo remain. When you start looking at your clothes and going "wtf?.. none of this appeals to me" then you'll move on. Fashion, hobbies, etc are dictated by your mindset, not the other way around.

yeah, i dress however the hell I want. I dont care about styles or any of that crap.
If I like it, and am comfortable in it, i'll rock it. who cares what other people think.

I think about this too. as I am a twenty two year old youth myself.
but as long as I am a broke-ass student, improving on my current tshirt and jeans regime isn't the biggest priority. college kids get a "home-free" card for fashion i think. it's only fair.

I think it also depends on the industry you are working in. I find when I'm working in a more corporate environment, I am more hesitant to buy "casual, fun" clothes because I am at work 40 hours a week and I feel like I should be buying more "professional" clothing. Luckily, I can get away with doing a funky business casual at work.
I do go through a monthly closet purge where I try to get rid of old items that I don't wear anymore to make room for new items though. I find it helps keep your wardrobe up to date and gives room for growth.

Okay, this is very easy. The very first time that you see somebody more than 4 years your junior wearing something similar to your clothes and you think, "God, that kid looks like a complete tool." That right there, that's when you need to change your style.

i just turned 22 and kinda made some changes in my personal life rather than the way i dress.. i think attitude reflects more than what you wear.. i'm in school and not a proffesional yet, so i go out all the time in my jeans and a shirt.. but it's fun to dress nice occasionally then all your friends can tell you how great you look. I'm thinking in a few years when i settle down and have to look professional if i must i can use these years and be myself.

Why is clothing stressing you out? If it is, just give it up altogether, be a nudist!

courtney, i have only just been forced to grow up with my wardrobe as i took a very corporate position and i am 27. i have never been a person to dress up, and have always been fortunate to wear whatever i like. i always kept staples in my wardrobe, but now i am finding i am wearing those staples out. i am starting to build a dressier wardrobe now.
but the thing i found i never had, was nice shoes. a good pair of shoes can really make an outfit. i always wore flats, which can dress down an outfit. so start with a nice pair of simple black pumps.
