[Closed] Mens fashion..

<rubs knees>

A uniform you say? Are you cabin crew?

nothing that flashy, just good old fashioned NHS pleb!

What should a man of 30, professional, father of one and husband be wearing this autumn?

Whatever you like.

At this time of year, real men where speedo's and a rugged look, as they stare wistfully into the middle distance.

If the temperature dips below freezing, a sarong and a flat cap are botg acceptable

Still got a couple of months till the shorts come off......Long sleeve t-shirt weather now though (@39)

drug dealer/skater

== my attire.

I'm going to a seminar in November and it said the dress code was 'corporate casual', asked my wife what that was...

I have none of those things...other than the jeans, but mine have holes and tears, and are generally knackered.

[i]Men fashion is very interesting thing and it is always different thing from women fashion...[/i]

There's often a lot less dresses involved for a start.

fashion == not worth worrying about
style == what I aspire to

just stick to simple well fitting stuff in good fabrics

anything but Boden - it's OK for women and kids but the blokes stuff is only suitable for Herberts

Doesn't matter what you wear if you get the hair right

it's all about heritage brands for AW12

I've no idea what you "youfs" are wearing these days but us 40-somethings are allowed to rock the old geography teacher look (but I do try to ensure my slacks/cords are long enough and that I don't smell.

Hoodie/fleece, tee and jeans, with trail shoes. Beanie if cold. My whole life.

messiah, I actually don't mind the old Geography teacher look. Cords are perfetcly comfortable, and a jacket and tie, worn in such a way so as not to be confused with a banker, looks quite good.

I agree SaxonRider... there was no [s]irony[/s] ironing in my post 😉

fewer

Well fitted jeans, cords, chinos (maybe). Brogues or desert boots. Dress shirt. Nice cardigan or sweater. Tweed jacket or a suit jacket. Maybe a bunnet. The geography teacher look is all good.

i once went for a pint with a few mate's, one of which commented that i looked like a gypsy scrap dealer.
i was wearing brogues, cords and a arran cardigan........... 😆

I'm a 35-year-old, professional, father of two and husband.

For casual, I wear:
Feet: trainers, outdoory trainers or skate-style trainers
Legs: jeans (washed every 6 months whether they need it or not)
Top: T-shirt or shirt (often short-sleeved and/or checked). Hoody if it's cold.

For work, I wear:
Feet: skate-style trainers
Legs: jeans (washed every 6 months whether they need it or not)
Top: shirt (often short-sleeved and/or checked)

For 'smart', I wear:
Feet: some black boots
Legs: some black trousers
Top: formal shirt

picked up a nice waxed millerain reefer by private white yesterday, perfect for the geography teacher on field trip look and a bit more exclusive than the barbour/belstaff jackets that are the done thing these days.

anything that doesn't suggest you work in an office doing powerpoint all day is a step in the right direction as long as it's not let down by poor quality footwear. 8)

that's the hipster zeitgeist right there, i expect to see you on the front cover of vice magazine next.

What ever you were make sure you wear [url= https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=red+trousers&hl=en&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=_Dd0UICHFIez0QXbloCoBw&ved=0CEgQsAQ&biw=1252&bih=584#hl=en&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=red+trousers+men&oq=red+trousers+men&gs_l=img.3..0j0i5j0i5i24.854.2420.0.2855.4.4.0.0.0.0.859.1415.0j1j0j1j6-1.3.0...0.0...1c.1.vOQOc7vKlOQ&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.&fp=5ea003849f9f2e1e&biw=1252&bih=584 ]Red Trousers [/url]

Very similar to miketually...

Outside work:
Feet: skate-style trainers or boots
Legs: jeans or shorts
Top: T-shirt or shirt. Fleece or hoody if it's cold.

For work, I wear suit and boots.

For 'smart', I wear pretty much the same as outside work but at a real push I'll do boots, trousers and shirt. Don't really do "smart".

I just go to Zara and get whatever the wife tells me I look good in. Saves time in the long run.

Scarily I'm a banker and this is exactly what I'm wearing.

The tie - go for a knitted wool or silk tie. It adds a youthful air of joie de vivre to a chap of any age.

Seriously, Mr Porter.com is your friend, their sales are tremendous. Just sort sort by the colour of whatever you are looking for. You never have to go near a shop again once you have a good idea of your size compared to them.

That Mr Porter site

Do their hats come supplied with a hammer for when they nail it on?

£100 for a polo, £265 for a pair of jeans

I recently had to buy loads of new stuff due to weight loss. I hate clothes shopping with a passion so you have my sympathy. I found Gap to be great, nothing too fashionable, but reasonably stylish and timeless. loads of easy to put together stuff and sensible prices.
they sell online now which is great because i know all my sizes in there stuff and can take advantage of offers etc and never venture into shops again for the time being.

+1, I have to announce 'f*****g red trousers!' when ever I see a pair now. Got some funny looks from my gran when my grandad was wearing some. That was an awesome day.

£1250 for a jumper REALLY? :s

Seriously, Mr Porter.com is your friend, their sales are tremendous

We're talking 70% off tremendous. And no I wouldnt buy a jumper for over a grand either 'cause i'm not a total muppet. But for shirts, polos, shoes, cords its a great site.

30 is still young, you have a lot of flexibility - you dress up (older more serious) or down (younger more casual). Really hard to advise as we don't know you or where you like to hang out.

I'd say shoes (eg suede loafers, leather jodpur style boots) over trainers, loose fitting shirt (bright party style print or checked outdoor type) looser fitting polo over tight. Jeans are good, upgrade to an upmarket brand over skater types. As above a casual jacket with jeans really dresses things up.

As an online browse have a look at [url= http://www.boden.co.uk/en-GB/Mens-Clothing.html#nav ]Boden for example[/url]

I'm a banker

We're all in this together 😉

I've got a pair of socks you can have for £750.

At the moment I'm wearing a pair of Howies jeans, can't remember the style, crash test, or something like that, they're for riding in, anyway, with a Shorty's tee and a heavyweight Uniqlo red and black flannel shirt. When I go down the pub for dinner later, the ensemble will be completed with a pair of army issue Meindle desert boots, as worn by our troops in Afghanistan, and a Belstaff Trailmaster, 'cos its bloody wet down here,
Just what every 57yo bloke on holiday in the countryside wears.
And at home, too.

My friend recently described my style as 'sheltered housing'... Another said I have 'effortless style' so I tend to believe the more complimentary friend.
I've just bought this jacket [img] [/img] which is awesome I believe and apart from the beard (thats not me) I look quite similar and ooze style, so I would recommend something along these lines for the dapper man about town.

All depends where you work and what you do (asides from bike riding innit)

I'm 35 and work in sales for a tech startup, so I need to strike a pretty difficult balance between being not too corporate but also not to like the tech guys.

Banana Republic has been one of my fave brands since discovering them a few years back while in the USA, think they pretty much nail it for us gents of a certain age: http://www.bananarepublic.co.uk

After all, I'd hate to be the male equivalent of one of those mutton dressed as lamb "just divorced" women you always see out on a weekend!!

Fashion is for poo brains

I aspire to mixing and matching classic statement pieces with high street fashion, unfortunately I am more out of town supermarket at present.

Jeans, trainers/hiking boots/Docs, T shirt, fleece, waterproof jacket.
Down jacket & free magazine woolly hat in the winter.
Shorts from March to November.

I do have suits, shirts, ties and nice coats, but weddings, court appearances, funerals and interviews only.

Favoured brands are New Balance, Primark, Decathlon, George & Bolton Market.

I wear the same style of clothes that I wore 25 years ago in work and at home.

I got it right back then, why would I change?

"Drinking trousers" proper gave me the giggles, thanks for that.

It's a difficult subject, this. I turned 40 this year and am currently deliberating what I want to do for my mid-life crisis. I've lived in the same gear all my life - sometimes literally, I have t-shirts you could carbon-date - which is basically jeans and t-shirt. Fashion seems to be 'young' and 'old' with little in the middle. I fancy a change but have no clue where to go. The suggestions here seem to be "anything you could expect Doctor Who to turn up in."

Try Crew Clothing, Gap for the 40-49 bracket. 50 and over is strictly M&S territory.

I could not stop myself doing the Barnsley war cry when I saw the prices on the mrporter site...ar much!! if I was a multi millionaire I would not spunk 1200 quid on a jumper.

If we're going out somewhere half decent then it's a tidy pair of jeans, polo and shoes. Rarely go anywhere that demands smarter.

Jeans, T-shirts, skateboard trainers for work and play though I often think I should maybe smarten myself up a little for work. Just a tad though...
