Great Fashion for Great Retirement Living

For living smart in retirement, I believe that fashion should consist mainly of T-shirts and Blue Jeans.

I don't sell T-shirts but I have designed a few for myself and had them printed by Zazzle.com.

Some of these T-shirts are displayed along with some of my favorite retirement T-shirt sayings at:

Also, I have posted at least 100 quotes relating to clothing, dress, and fashion on

Sensational Quotes about Fashion

My two favorites are:

"Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months."
— Oscar Wilde

"I have often said that I wish I had invented blue jeans: the most spectacular, the most practical, the most relaxed and nonchalant. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity — all I hope for in my clothes."
— Yves Saint Laurent

Of course, the natural companion of the blue jean is the T-shirt — the only two items you need to make a fashion statement in retirement.

What's more, style will last for decades whereas today's fashion is designed to be unfashionable tomorrow.

This means that fashion and money are companions only if you are the fashion designer and not when you are the one purchasing fashion.

Here are a few more quotes to place fashion and money and retirement in perspective:
