surly the hipster coolness of the man bun means this combo is cool?   Its certainly not bland 20260128_143455.jpg

unfortunately I cannot grow a decent beard.   I just end up looking like I shoukd be sat in a doorway with a bottle of white lightning shouting at clouds.

 

I did grow one a few years ago and asked a female pal if I had got to "silver fox".  she answered " mangy badger"

 

🤣

When i started teading the thread I was thinking, 'wear what the hell you like, as long as your comfy in it'.

Then I read she makes you wear a man bun and i started thinking 'shes a wrong 'un'.

Then you posted up your picture and now im like 'Teej, listen to this woman, she may be your only hope'.

The only way that combo would look good is in a fire.

HTH

😉

(And believe me, im no fasionista -i'm sat in a lime hoodie and joggers)

Mangy badger should be your username.

I may have a good head of hair but according to this thread I am the ungodly love child of Alan Partridge and a dinner lady in twin set and pearls

Where would you buy, or work, to even get a burgundy polo shirt?

Sainsbury's apparently. I used to have a burgundy hoodie but our nearest shop is Sainbury's. I had to stop wearing it after the third time someone thought I worked there and asked me for help.

That's the curse of the polo shirt generally.  I used to wear one when I worked in an office.  Countless times I was asked for assistance despite mine being black and company branded and the store uniforms being various corporate hues and/or not even polos at all.

I would try to be helpful in so far as I was just another customer and (usually) a nice person, but very occasionally some people would get really narky when you told them sorry, you didn't know where the grout or the marrowfat peas were displayed.  I had one threaten to report me to my manager; aye, good luck with that one mate.

The young lady is a year younger than me and I do care about her opinion given I am attempting to entice her.  Mind you I think she is wrong 🙂

Without wanting to sound like your mum, if a girl is more interested in your clothes than your personality, is she the right one for you?

In my opinion you should double down on the polos and v-necks in hideous colour combinations to test her worthiness.

Am I the only one that thinks a short sleeve shirt under a long sleeve sweater is somehow wrong?

 

Nope.

Short sleeved shirts are just wrong full stop. Buy some quality proper shirts and in the 2 days a year when it's warm enough just roll the sleeves up.

I never wear a short sleeved dress shirt.  Only polos which are always short sleeved

Neither on the items are horrible by themselves, together though...

Also; It has to be said, bearded TJ is pretty good looking

You'd have more luck with chloroform than that combo

Manbuns.......At the risk of lowering the tone (apologies in advance), MrsEpic saw a Graham Norton/Matt Damon clip on Insta (probs The Rip or Odyssey = interest). Anyway, Matt Damon once had a manbun, and it caused lots of attention amongst the ladies. Norton put up a tweet as part of the chat that MrsEpic screenshotted for her padel team:

Correct. Shortsleeved dress shirts are for bus drivers and people who fix photocopiers. 

Anyway, TJ. Ditch the v-neck and buy a quarter zip.
