The 'Me in 50 years' fashion style is a playful and exaggerated approach to dressing that mimics stereotypical elderly clothing choices, embracing comfort and practicality while incorporating humorous elements.
This fashion trend emerged in the late 2010s as part of the broader ironic and self-aware style movements popular among younger generations. It gained traction on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram, where users would share their humorous interpretations of future elderly selves. The style draws inspiration from both stereotypical elderly fashion and vintage clothing from past decades.
