You ask: "Are we ever too old to care how we look?" I think, 'no.' But, our ideas constituting the 'care how we look' can change with age and/or life circumstances.
Being clean is caring about ourselves. Being groomed is caring about ourselves. Now, this is just my opinion, but fashion wear, hairstyles, nailpolish, bling, etc. is add-on, not necessarily necessary. I know several older women of beauty and style. One of them wears no makeup, doesn't color her hair, wears no jewelry, and has a low budget wardrobe... but, she shines beautifully for everyone that knows her.

I agree, Gimster, for some it's not needed, or something they put any value on after a certain age. Myself, if I do not have my finger nails done, I feel "dirty," and I can say the same for my 70 plus mother! Although my mother may not wear a full face of make up, she will still care that there is some color in her face and that her lips have a dash of light color! She was a "hippie," in her life, but still has those things that she holds dear regarding how she looks that she keeps for herself. It is the same with clothing. She does not wear the jeans she wore when I was a child but she does care what color her "pajama," type cloting is and takes great care to get colors she feels are "her." In fact, she told me last that she had to wear a blue top out because that was how "they know me," meaning she always wore SOMETHING blue and many in a city of over 1 million will notice if she is not wearing her blue.
It tells me she cares and it shows me style. I do not think my mother who is larely a thinking person is wrapped up in her "look," but she does care.

We are never too old to care how we look. I finally got a haircut that was desperately needed for over 1 month. I saw shiny white thingys that needed to be covered, too, so I threw some color on after the cut.
I know I feel better when I think my clothes look good/when I feel good in the clothes I wear . Not sure what others think. I don't care for my work shirts(theirs) so I don't feel the best I can at work. I have to buy some new pants for work, but haven't felt well enough to go shopping. I'll get there.
