Ok. To be fair I've never considered myself particularly fashion conscious.
As a 55 year old male my clothes shopping paradigm is to visit M&S roughly every three years and buy myself enough clothes to last the following three.
I particularly wanted some smart/casual short-sleeve shirts as I've lost over four stone since taking up cycling a couple of years ago and ny current shirts have become somewhat tent-like. This is when I became conscious of the fact that fashion had permeated even the hallowed halls of the M&S Men's Department.
I don't want to look like a lumberjack. I've only recently come to terms with wearing Lycra in public places!
I'm not Canadian, although to be fair I do own a canoe. Neither do I sport any kind of beard which seems to becoming more and more popular each year.
Almost all of the shirts on display featured some kind of check pattern (what's wrong with stripes?), a button down collar (yuch) and tiny little tight, turned-up sleeves, presumably to show off the wearer's big bulging lumberjack biceps and tattoos.
I exited the store with four pairs of Y-fronts and a pair of casual shorts to last me for the next three years.
I then had a quick look in Next and Top Man. Big mistake!
I am officially old.
