acceptable clothing for over 40's?

[Pin-seeker]

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......

A scouser mocking some ones dress sense
Only joking pal.
I'm 31 so not exactly old,but I wouldn't be seen dead in some of the gear that younger people wear. Too many "pretty boys" about now.

Wear what you are comfy in and let others deal with their own prejudices

My two grandfathers were complete opposites, one was the twead trousers and shirt and the other was a jeans and sports jumper! He wore them into his seventies when the big C finally got him, oh and trainers!

 

[Yer Maw]

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

Go into your local town on a Saturday afternoon and thats what the young lads will be wearing mate lol. I decided a couple of years ago not to wear anything anymore with big names emblazoned or fashion young gun stuff and settle for smart but cool IMO of course.
Hoodies are another one unless you're out for a run or lounging aout the hoose!! Troos with dangly bits hanging off!

And then the final faux pah is yer jeans hanging off your ass and pants up at your waist. A ridiculous look by any stretch of the age limit.

 

[SocketRocket]

Can't go wrong with Paul Smith stuff IMO

Yes, it goes nice with those M&S velcro strapped shoes and Autograph beige chinos.

Probably in the next month, matey - I'll guarantee one thing, no one else will have a similar one.

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

Sadly there are very few old boys of WW2 left now.

Today's old boys are more likely to have been Mods and Rockers.

Well I'm over 50 (53) and still wear labels like Paul Smith, Henry Lloyd, Armani, Stone Island, Boss, Lacoste and even some Versace the list is endless.

Although individually more expensive, I buy less clothes as they last forever, I'm still wearing clothes across those brands I've owned for over 10 years, if they still fit that is.

 

[Doon frae Troon]

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 .

Well I do have hair to style and most of it is still brown.
Young shaven headed golfers is something that sits uneasy with me, especially if it is matched with tattoos.

Is a comb over a hairstyle?

Why would this bother you? I really don't understand why people have a problem wit tattoos. If you don't want one yourself that's fine.

Hell no, I'm the same age and usually wear Animal or Oakley Tshirts and Hoodys, combat jeans and Skechers, 41 is still young

No it is all there and looking OK which is a great surprise as my dad was bald aged 22.

My Mrs lost all her hair to chemo when she was in her late 30's.
She is early 60's now with a fine head of hair with no sign of any grey.

Still associated with 1970's Skinheads I suppose. They were generally a violent lot.

What about old shaven headed golfers matched with tattoo's?

Wow, they must have really traumatised you if you still make that association 40 years after the event! Does the sight of a parka bring out a cold sweat too?

Fair point,suppose its a stigma that a lot of "older" (no offence intended) people have with tattoos. But times have changed,as av tattoos. People from all walks of life have them nowa days.

Well that's me well and truly pigeon holed, I've got my 8 hole lace ups on now whilst I'm doing some gardening, so I now tic all 3 boxes :rofl: Maybe if we play against each other in matchplay, I wouldn't have to play any mind games, just my appearance will unnerve you .
