I suspect none of us is aging very gracefully. I too considered
suspenders a couple of years ago. I have always had a problem with
short shirts. My wife never used to complain about my not keeping
the shirts tucked in, but I'll be 76 this coming October and,
apparently, things aren't as seemly as they once were. I can't
understand it. I still work out with weights, take the dogs for long
walks, but despite all that I'm probably still going to be 76 this
coming October.
I think that the current fashion is to wear one's shirts not tucked in.

Be that as it may, I always hear my grandmother's voice whispering that
I should tuck in my shirt. So I do.
Oh, another problem I obviously have. I've forgotten how to spell.
If my spell-check can't correct it, neither can I. And it didn't have
"hippie."
My email program, and my MS Word program do not recognize 'hippy,' so
you should have had spell-checking help from somewhere.
