“How does one age within a style tribe? In her latest Dress Sense column, Linda Grant writes that the mods and punks still look good, but pity the poor hippies ...Join a style tribe in your teens, and it may well influence you for the rest of your life, though some styles seem to suit the ageing body better than others. The octogenarian trendsetter will probably once have worn a zoot suit. The hippie for whom dressing sloppily was a revolt against bourgeois convention will now be in M&S jeans and T-shirt. The mods—now approaching retirement age—are still shopping for clothes; they will be the best-dressed OAPS in history.”
