Age/Style Question

[pooks]

Just curious -- a catalog I really like is:

http://www.territoryahead.com/

I've ordered a few things from it and have always had people compliment them, which is rare for me because I am not much about style or fashion.

I didn't notice until today that the catalog has no models. And then I realized that I'm not sure what demographic it's aimed at, age-wise. It's not that I care -- I know I like it and that's all that counts.

But I thought I'd ask here to get a feel for what age person it appeals to or is aimed at, because now I'm totally curious.

Check it out -- do you like the clothes or not? And are you 20s, 30s, 40s, or higher?

I know it's an odd question, but I guess it's also a slow Saturday night!

I love the stuff in Territory Ahead. I'd go broke if I allowed myself to order from it much. Bubba buys sweaters from it for me (he's such a sweetie. )

Oh yeah, older 40s.

Okay, I'm going to date myself, but as a 20 something, I'm saying I'd leave these clothes more to work-casual etc, and would suspect they're for a slightly older age group (then again, I have weird taste in dressing...)

[pooks]

I wondered about that, since I'm (hate this word) middle-aged, I wondered if I was the typical demographic.

I order from them too. I like their shirts and sweaters.

J Jill is my favorite though. I love J Jill.

I'm 54.

I like Territory Ahead. Can't afford their stuff, though.

Almost 40.

Well done, Pooks-ie
I bet Kitsune thought she was safe from us detectives over here!

Nice catalogue btw

ARGH! Margo! You got me!

...maybe you're half right and I'm here from the '60s but only via reincarnation?

[pooks]

LOL! I didn't realize she was keeping it a secret!

Well, I'm sitting here sighing and thinking, man, I really AM getting old because I'm thinking the cutest clothes I've seen in a long time are in a middle-aged catalog. (I guess my tastes are finally catching up with my age -- late 40s.) (And I guess I just dated myself by saying "man" instead of "dude.")

[Kitsune06]

And here I thought 'man' was generally used instead of 'dude'.

You have 2 choices:

1.Get that egg (or mushroom or whatever your Mum called it in your misspent, poverty-stricken youth) and start darning that hole in the fabric of the Space-Time Continuum

2. Move away from the frayed edge of it so you don't "fall through" again. Accidentally on purpose I would add.

I like some of that Territory Ahead stuff, but except for a few of the sweaters, I simply wouldn't wear it. I have a remarkable simple style: t-shirts and jeans at home, button-downs and jeans at school. In summer, the jeans-at-home turn to shorts, and the jeans-at-work turn to linen. In winter, I throw on a sweater over the top, and maybe a blazer to teach in. That's about it.

I do occasionally find some sweaters and linen stuff I like in J. Jill and at Chico. Other than that, I'm pretty much a classic casual kind of dresser.

Here's a little quirk though: I seem to like the men's clothes at TerritoryAhead as much as the women's--if only they came in my size. *sigh*

My husband (60.75 yrs) is addicted to the Territory Ahead. For the first time in his life he eagerly awaits the arrival of the catalog, and goes through it carefully, and then asks me what I like. He is actually spending more money on clothes than we have ever budgeted before. I like some of the women's things, but after 59.5 years of frustrated shopping, I know that they won't look good on me. I wish they would because I really like some of their things, and they wouldn't look silly on someone my age. At 35 or even 40 you can wear some of your teenagers cast offs, but at 60 you would look ridiculous.

*whines* but darning is hard and time-consuming, and moving away from the edge would mean not having as much fun... Besides- what thread do you USE for the fabric of the Space-Time continuum?!

Eden- I hear ya on the 'low rise'. There's 'hip-hugging' low, then there's "OMG, she's wearing a G-string?!" low. I love hip-hugging 'low', but can't stand revealing pants. I wear clothes so people can't see my underwear, thankyoo.
Reminds me of my complaint about A&F (sorry if you shop there) If they're trying to advertise their clothing, maybe their models could actually be wearing some?

Lisa S.H.- Yow. You can keep that patent! BTW, you're actually dead on. That did come back in this '00s as well as that '00. Link is Wikipedia, and as such fairly inoffensive, but still scary. Cathie Jung has a ~15" waist.

Don't really fancy most of the stuff on there. Sorry.

Not because its for an older age group or anything, but more cuz of the target fairsheeon market.

My age? 97 years old. 3 more years.
