it's probably what they are used to wearing for work etc, so they keep wearing it. if you are used to wearing a t shirt you would more likely wear one
also, look at the aging effects on old people. if they cover up with a shirt and trousers and dress smart then it's only about 10% of the rest of their body you can see, with the other 90% looking smart
on the other hand look at old men wearing t shirts and addidas jogging bottoms and looking like rab c Nesbit. the smart old man is likely to be treated better in the street and shops etc than the poorly dressed one
