In my dotage, I don't really care about what I wear; as long as the neighbors aren't shocked when I take out the trash, no problem. It's jeans or shorts or sweats and some t-shirt or t-shirts layered.
Ah, but in the day...my part of town is regarded as Preppie Town, so of course it was Weejuns on my feet, button-down Oxford shirts, ties either repp (stripe) or club (little figures rampant), and GTH pants.
That's GTH as in "go to hell" pants as in if anyone doesn't like them, they can go to hell. The pants must either be brightly colored or dotted with figures such as sailing, golf, lacrosse, whatever.
Guys my age, if we can find our old GTH pants in some dusty old wardrobe, we tend to find that cotton shrinks over time, so we need new, larger, pants. And just for the record, we never call them "slacks." Why would we?
