acceptable clothing for over 40's?

[G1BB0]

so I recently bought some new threads, a few superdry t shirts, a pair of vans, some g star & bench jeans

my boys say they look good on me (apart from the ugly fizzog) but inside I feel too old to wear brands like these.

Now I am 41 should I be dressing in more suitably designed clothing for a grey badger like myself, m&s etc

Your only here once why not

Not at all, the only old boys who should dress different are the fellas in the tweed suits at the social club. You know the ones, the fellas who wear a pressed shirt and tie every day of the week and who always tell you stories of ww2. The fellas who make a pint of guiness last hours

No you are not too old to wear them. You wear it for you mate, not for other people so why care what they think. I'm in my 40s and my pub gear is generally g star, lambretta etc.

Beige slacks (whatever slacks are) and hush puppies are not compulsory for the 40 something male.

 

[G1BB0]

you do see a few out though that look ridiculous, aslong as I can avoid that then I am happy

 

[G1BB0]

anyway the 3 S's are done so off out on the lash for a works do.

have a nice evening y'all

Wear whatever the hell you feel comfortable in mate. I'll be hitting the big 40 neaxt year and I won't be stopping wearing the Connies, Jeans and T Shirts. Nor the hoodies etc.... As long as the fit well and are clean then who gives a monkeys. You'll look much better than the stereotypical "Man at M&S" slave with his loose butted jeans, blue shirt and grey jumper.....

Elasticated slacks, cardigans and slip ons should be more your style now!

You're the one with the Pings mate....

I'm 38 and I'm in the process of growing a mohican! oo:

What's the point in growing old gracefully?

Exactly, timeless classics.

Exactly, timeless classics.

True.. Like Werthers originals...

Can't go wrong with Paul Smith stuff IMO

 

[In_The_Rough]

Yep Paul Smith is generally good, I am more of an Armani man but have a few bits of Paul Smith

No such thing as age appropriate clothing. Just been down the pub in my jeans, batman converse and 'big fish/little fish/cardboard box' hoody. I like it and that is all that matters.

First rule of over 40's club - don't take any clothing advice from a Wiganer!
Only joking Bluewolf, you are carrying off your flat cap the best so far.

Gibbo, move back to Liverpool, you'll fit in with your threads. Most 40,50 and even lots of 60 year olds still wear casual/terrace gear. As long as you can carry them off, go with it. Clothing is an attitude as much as a look, unless your an embarrassing dad......

Gonna be hard to sleep tonight thinking of Rosecott, Doon Fae Troon , myself and other more mature golfers , dressed up to the nines in the new fashions and hair styles .

Sorry, "vans"? You're going to have to enlighten this old codger.
