What age will you quit buying oversize clothes?

Im 26. I enjoy wearing loose, comfy street clothes without acting like I'm a G carrying a knife. Single XL not XXL for reference. My GF says she wants to throw them away. Loose shirt, regular pants worn above the ass. I haven't skied in 3 years and I want to go near G suit. Question: is 28 or so too old to rock a long jacket and XXL pants? If I throw down on the jumps does that make a difference?

This comes straight out of curiosity of comfort

Do what you want on the hill, but it might be a good idea to avoid looking homeless in public. You do you, man.

sounds pretty normal to me honestly if you're interest in action sports you can get away with looking baggy for a long time.

On the hill baggy clothes are warmer and provide better protection from the snow when i ragdoll, tomahawk, and fall over in the lift line. But they are heavier.

Off the hill, i prefer to wear clothes that fit and complement my physique and personal aesthetic preference. I also prefer to have other adults (especially ones in positions of power) view me as an equal... not a shithead college kid which is what your apparent fashion sense conveys. Id rather not have to work hard against a shitty first impression all the time.

It really depends what clothes you like, and how you want the outside world to perceive you. "not giving a fuck" is a disingenuous, antisocial cop-out btw.

Nah G. I normally wear baggy clothes around town like a 2xl hoodie and a pair of large khakis even though I fit loosely in a medium. Don't let anybody hate on your style, just do what's comfortable.

OP why haven't you skied in 3 years? If you are wearing your huge G suit around the house maybe it's a sign that you should go skiing.

This. One thing I would like to add, is that for those of us who look way younger than our age, it's a better idea to wear clothes that have a normal fit. Otherwise I just look like a 24 year old highschooler, which is super annoying. In my opinion, on the hill you can wear whatever you like, but you will definitely hear some comments about your outerwear though. Like last year this girl told me that I looked like a marshmallow. No big deal though, they're just classic gaper comments from people outside the ski/snowboard community.

At the end of the day, you can wear whatever you want.

I dig the "kind of baggy" style. Bloom outerwear in XL and I'm 6'1"... Usually sag the pants a bit. Looks really nice in my opinion. Not unnecessarily baggy or small and awkward.

I'll be rocking this style until I'm 80 years old if I make it that far.

I will never be one of those rich, douchbag dad's that wear their bright-colored, skin-tight arcteryx/north face/ Salomon gear. I'll be a steezy grandpa and you better believe it.

If you're comfortable in it and your comfortable having others possibly having a negative first impression of you, then go for it. At some point fashion will change and oversized clothes just won't be anywhere near acceptable. It might be 10 or 20 years from now, but it will inevitably change. Look at the gangsters from the 80's. They didn't wear huge clothes or sag their pants, they wore clothes that basically fit them. 90's got a little puffy and now in the 2000's, oversized clothes are acceptable (if you're skiing or trying to be a thug). It will change again. My guess is at that time, you'll want to change so you aren't the only guy rocking the XXL. You'd be like that one guy that still wears short shorts like they did in the 70's. No one wants to be that guy.

When you have kids your money might be better spent on them than you having both a nice around town rain jacket, and a nice outerwear skiing jacket. Then again, you might be super well off and can give your kids and yoursrlf everything, while also saving a hefty amount for their college and your retirement.

But I surely get why a lot of skiing dad's wear old, quality stuff, or stuff that needs to pull double duty during their 9-5.

Don't worry what anyone thinks. If it's your style than its true to you. That being said... you don't want to ruin a great relationship over some clothes either....
