The Age of The Small Adjustment

I have a new fashion theory – after the age of about 35, you enter, what I am now calling The Age of The Small Adjustment.

Wild changes of style direction no longer serve you, no longer interest you, frankly, are no longer possible. But you still want changes, updates, to feel like you're new and different from before, making style progress and not being stagnant.

This is where subtle changes on a known theme become REALLY important... Instead of drastic new choices, variations of detail like a different type of collar, a wider or slimmer sleeve, a visible decorative button or all buttons hidden under a placket, a darker shade than the last time etc. etc. become the way your style changes and keeps you feeling fresh and attentive.
