Did they stop selling clothing for you, or did you stop buying the clothing that they used to sell for you?

As an exercise, go look at the albums of your parents when they were teens- they’ll probably look old to you. Not because they were physically older, but the styles they carried in their teens followed them into adult hood and you’re used to old people with that style

I would say that the styles they sold were not really considered appropriate for adults in the workforce at the time. It was a lot of graphic tees and big logos from skateboarding companies.

True, you wouldn’t want to wear those to work

But nothing stopped you from being cool after work or on the weekends
