Clothing Choices for the Middle Aged

All the way to Demis Roussos.

Do they serve Black Forest Cherry Cake from the trolley there?

I cycled past my director today, wearing my beret - we have met only once before; he seems to convey a bit of a hipster style.

He f*cking knows now. He's not the f*cking daddy.

Who was wearing the beret?

It was mine. As was the victory. I'm not so sure the scratching my balls down my shorts worked as well...

Nothing unusual about that,as Accrington has more than its fair share of chavs,but he was about 60 odd years old!

I’ve just found Hebtroco (Brant of On-One is involved) which I feel may appeal to some of us. Linen, wool and moleskin

I’m loving my Governor jacket.

I particularly like the last line of the care instructions:

Oooh, I might be in bovver here !

I am of a certain age *that age being 24* (or was it 22, the lies catch up in the end).
Anyway, my attire, well, I am mainly a jeans & trainers sort, not the big Nike springy jobs though, I still wear skate/Mtb style flats for casual too.

Elsewhere, I am still a bit of a label victim, Pretty Green denim coat/jacket & camo jacket. Rapha merino sweaters *bought during various sales*, R.L polo shirts & knitwear & my absoloute favourite merino knit John Smedley jumpers.

More recently I have been toning down & investing in outdoorsy type garb. I think a nice quality down jacket can be worn by da Youf or by 60 somethings & still look good.

Posh evening dress for me would be unripped jeans & a quality shirt *I like cufflinks too*.
Much of the time I will be found proudly exhibiting my paunch in one of many rugby shirts, cycling or band related t-shirts.

Are you taking the piss?

As I rapidly approach my fifth decade I'm still known at work as the studenty looking one in the chinos. This despite the fact that we have four actual students working in the lab.

So you are in your late thirties. Which is still young(ish).

Due to circumstances beyond my control I had to buy a number of items from GAP recently

I hate to admit it, but they are rather nice.

I like to dress smartly for work but that's it; at home I'm so often fixing bikes or bits of my house that it's M&S cords and a T shirt every day. This means I have no smart-casual clothes. I absolutely detest clothes shopping, I stand in the shop like an idiot with a ghastly feeling of dread washing over me and I revert to behaving like a twelve year-old, same as when I'm forced to talk to HMRC on the phone.

I admit it's a character flaw but otherwise I'm decent, honest and principled and have never murdered anyone.

Pastel coloured cardigans from Primark, everything else beige, and plastic shoes with spongy sole and velcro fasteners. Combover hairstyle held in place with Brylcreem. Glasses as thick as the ends of Coke bottles.

I've always pictured you slightly more....

The Internet shatters my illusions once more!

That's enough about your best pulling outfit, what about lounging around at home?
