I am officially out of touch with fashion

[Tenacious Sloth]

Here are a few ideas https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/gallery/2017/jul/08/guide-to-summer-shirts-for-men-in-pictures

You would have thought the models would have combed their hair, knowing they were going to have their picture taken.

As for the shirts... handy for a Stag Night where there's a good chance you may throw up but don't want anyone to notice.

[raleighnut]

quite right too.

Mine are over 13 years old and still going strong!

Mine never last that long but I batter the crap out of shoes.

I buy all my clothes here from the market. I can get designer shirts, shorts etc for a fraction of the original cost. They are all second hand brought from abroad. It's know as 'Obroni wa wo' or 'clothes from the dead white man'.

I like next t-shirts and some jeans..

But you need to be a size 26 waist with 50mm thick legs..and have mastered the button fly..

As your Huntingdon try the large TKMax in Peterborough.. you can find some very nice threads there..
M&S tend to sell clothing you mum or wife would pick..not good..you need sunglasses to look at most of the clothes too

I've discovered the what the problem is.

Apparently I need to be a lumbersexual rather than a MAMIL.

How odd - a number of them appear to have proto-genitalia emerging from their adam's apples. I'm not surprised that the one second from right looks so angry - that bag!

Thanks. I'll have a look. I'm actually in Sawtry so can swing either way... even though I'm not a lumbersexual.

Thanks for the suggestion but I don't do online clothes shopping as it involves far too much effort with returns etc. I just want to pop into a shop for half an hour every three years.

M&S, John Lewis, Go Outdoors, Bike Shed, Dalziels (local emporium), charity shops (only for outer wear).
My attempts at fashion do not usually end well.

Three years?!?
I was attending an event at daughters School on Saturday, and 'fairly poshed up', but my right foot felt a bit funny
At first I thought, it was something stuck to the sole, & dragging slightly (there had been a buffet at dinner-time, & we were on a lightly gravelled area)
On looking though...........


Barely worn soles, or heels too

Amelia started laughing when I showed her, then I reminded her that the shoes were older than she is (she was 16 earlier this year)

In terms of other clothes I have, barring cycling related (that could be another thread??)
1. There's a flying jacket (sheepskin) that's in the back of a wardrobe, bought 25+ years ago
I can't remember when I last wore it, but certainly remember roughly how much it cost, Joanne keeps wanting to get rid of it, I keep saying "No!"

2. Amelia now wears my old Levi jacket
(I was about 21 or 22, in this pic, I'm 52 later this year)



3. I know this t-shirt is still in the bottom of drawer, but used as a duster nowadays, given that the picture was taken on my 21st birthday

Do you think @Shaun could create a "Grumpy Old Blokes who want everyone to know they're Grumpy Old Blokes" subforum for these threads?

I go to a place called "Cycle Chat" for that, you should try it

 

[stephec]

Has anyone mentioned Cotton Traders yet?

 

[KneesUp]

My particular bug bear is the sheer number of t-shirts for grown adults emblazoned with the distressed logo of (at best) a college or university most customers did not attend, and at worst one that doesn't even exist.

I used to be trendy, but the trend I followed is now not trendy. I need to get with the times.

I think a trip to Primark is in order - you can buy the latest fashions, for not much money and when the fashion changes (6 months later) you can buy again.
