After a survey done by a British site got a lot of your britches tied up in knots over the idea that you could be too old to wear skinny jeans or long hair, we decided to peek in on Twitter ― not always known for loving on those with the audacity to age. We wanted to see what posters there had to say on the topic of how older people dress. And while we do have a sense of humor, can’t we just call an ageist an ageist and be done with it? For example:

Note to Connor: We think you mean collared shirts. Although if it’s collard greens, we kind of feel you. (And if you insist on insulting people, learn to spellcheck.)

Does that mean she’s cool or not?

Popcorn sweaters never go out of style.

Now you’re just being mean. #HatersGonnaHate

And you know this how exactly?

Right. Much better to have your pants hanging so low I can see your butt crack.

When your feet hurt, that’s when. Or if you’re smart, before your feet start hurting.

And lastly, who wants to break the news to her?
