Clothing Choices for the Middle Aged

[GM]

Anyone remember C & A?

I used to be man at Claude & Albert's, now I'm man at Millets.

It still exists. I bought a coat there last year .. somewhere in Germany (can't remember the name off hand )

I've seen them in France but, according to this site (http://www.c-and-a.com/uk/en/corporate/company/about-ca/stores/locations/), Germany has 470 stores. Looking at their logo just now I was surprised to see how much it resembled an oval chainwheel.

I'm no Tarzan physique nor fashion guru but...Gap chinos or similar for work with a half decent shirt. DM's or decent Loafers.
Chinos also good for casual/hols so very useful. Polo shirts for non-work occasions from cheap to Fred Perry and a fee dec nt wool jumpers.
I have 1 pr proper trousers and Ted Baker blazer for smart and agree that a pair of Loakes or similar are a good investment.
Tesco jeans are remarkably good too.
Otherwise I tend to wear shorts all the time when not working from Ted Baker, Vans, various 'go-outdoors' types too.
Vans sneakers or similar cover a range of occasions.
Most if the time I share the 'man at Millets' look with fleeces etc and a pair of walking shoes from the likes of Decathlon and GO.

I went to Burnley this afternoon for a medical assessment, Now i thought there were some scruffy people in Accrington, but Burnley shocked me! The typical middle aged person there seems to wear the scruffiest clothes they can find and they all seem to have a fag hanging out their mouth and an elbow crutch on their arm!

Staying at the Holiday Inn in Burnley next Saturday as we have a wedding nearby in the afternoon. Don't intend to visit the town though.

Isn't that the label in the knickers?

My ex had 'NEXT' on the label of her knickers !!

I never was into fashion. Having moved to Denmark, it is like coming home. Nobody cares what you wear to any occasion. For me it is jeans and t shirts or shorts and T shirts.

Me too, particularly when shooting

Ah, worn mostly for pottering along to the artisanal bakery or gallery for me.

Doesn't matter what clothes I wear. They might be cheap or expensive. I still manage to look like a half filled sack of onions tied in the middle with a piece of tatty baler twine.

Such is my genetic lot.

Doesn't matter what clothes I wear. They might be cheap or expensive. I still manage to look like a chiselled Adonis with a skimpy, but strangely alluring loin cloth tied around my middle.

Such is my genetic lot.

Whats the point of a polo shirt? I've never got it, why have a t shirt with a collar on? I think they also look dreadfull on women.

Because they look smarter than even the best T-shirts maybe?
Some women suit them to a tee....
