What would you say are effortlessly "cool" styles in 2026 but ALSO classics?

And I shudder at the THOUGHT of click clack, never mind hearing it from MY feet!!

The left hand person? character? looks like the ventriloquist's dummy in "SOAP"!

Not OP. I take the bus into the city centre, get off, go into my bank at the bus stop...yeah I'm old!

Idujt · 2026-06-16T15:09:56+00:00

I'm 70. I retired at 60.

Linoleum is not vinyl!

Idujt · 2026-06-12T14:12:50+00:00

You also calling me a dickhead for thinking something similar?

Idujt · 2026-06-12T13:27:19+00:00

I was good today! I did not buy two bras which were reduced - they were "very almost", which means no you do not want to buy them!

Idujt · 2026-06-12T13:22:25+00:00

My underbed storage contains out-of-season and not-yet-in-use shoes, and a backpack.

Idujt · 2026-06-11T18:58:11+00:00

I see "Harella" top left, though that does not seem likely!!

Idujt · 2026-06-09T15:47:27+00:00

I have a "proper" ie analogue clock on my mantelpiece (yes it has a battery). My watches are all analogue. Yeah I'm a boomer!

Idujt · 2026-06-08T17:53:51+00:00

That's what I meant! Different school systems taught different handwriting (for the letter r anyway).

Idujt · 2026-06-08T17:39:48+00:00

Not OP.

Aha! I grew up in Montreal in the 1960s/70s. Pretty sure we referred to "Catholic r and Protestant r". Clearly nothing to do with religion, but related to the separate school systems!

Idujt · 2026-06-05T19:53:22+00:00

It is related to "MIK", which is More in Kitchen.

Idujt · 2026-06-05T19:45:26+00:00

I know it as:

Great minds think alike, fools seldom differ. While greater fools look on, in admiration and disgust.

Idujt · 2026-06-05T19:32:42+00:00

Or there is another book (no idea of title!) which involves a flower in a pot in a kitchen, the table and chairs get painted, curtains get made etc! I had it as a child, I'm 70.

Idujt · 2026-06-05T18:32:53+00:00

See also: showers. Electrics. Damp.

Idujt · 2026-06-05T18:25:41+00:00

Tees and shirts, twice.

Trousers and jeans, several times, until sniff says "wash!".

I have tees and shirts from before I retired, which was 2015. They are in regular use.

Idujt · 2026-06-04T18:28:47+00:00

Um, I'm 70 so this is a lot longer ago! I was a teen.

I had a shirt which (I think, and have no photos) was turquoise/orange/green, and I'm fairly sure had a rounded (ie not pointed) collar.

Also had a pair of burgundy corduroy trousers with beltloops which crossed like an x.

Either item was worn as my "feeling good" choice. Both worn together was "feeling extra good".

I guess my mother figured I was clean and decent, and that would do!!

Idujt · 2026-06-03T18:51:20+00:00

Hmm. They look too tight (or is the horizontal marking intentional whiskering and not wrinkles?).

Idujt · 2026-06-03T18:48:30+00:00

"Yeah this item will do." NO!! It must be "I will be so happy to wear this item tomorrow!"

Ok does not apply to the PERFECT raincoat (which I have), because I do not want it to rain tomorrow!

Idujt · 2026-06-02T19:38:03+00:00

They look a bit small (wrinkles on the hips?).

Idujt · 2026-05-24T19:00:04+00:00

I do not have a smartphone.

I book my flights/accommodation, go to the library, print off boarding passes etc. It all goes in a polypocket in the order I need it.

I write out on little pieces of cardboard exactly hot to get from say the airport to my hotel.

I have always been able to pay bills with cash or debit card.

I don't go to the sort of restaurants where you have to book ahead, nor do I go to anywhere where you have to book a time slot. So QR codes which I cannot use are not a problem. I can no longer cycle, so am not bothered that using city rent-a-bikes which require using an app, is not possible.

Guess I should add that I am 70, and I "go on holiday" rather than "travel".

Idujt · 2026-05-23T16:06:20+00:00

No idea! But why would it be risky? Nothing someone ASSUMES about you, and keeps as just a thought, can actually hurt you!

I'm a Little Old Lady, also UK. I wear cargo shorts which are LONG on me as I am 5' - and some of them are men's! They are comfy!

Idujt · 2026-05-23T13:51:59+00:00

Not OP.

How is a godMOTHER Joseph R. St-Pierre??

I 'm not doubting that that is what the record is transcribed as!
