I am 55 years old and enjoy wearing jeans, sneakers, and big clothing. My family claims my clothing “look ridiculous and too young” and that, at my age, I should dress more elegantly. I don’t modify my style, and people often criticize or refuse to go out with me. It didn’t bother me at first, but it’s getting on my nerves now.

My daughter’s birthday was the final straw. I wore a skirt, crop top, and sneakers. She was shocked and asked, “Can you change?” It’s too much. She expressed dissatisfaction with the clothing’s fit and appearance. I had to change into something more reserved to make her feel better, but her words stung me deeply. Should I change my style?
