T-shirt and shorts....T-shirt tucked in or not? 🤣
Sandals, flip flops or trainers?
If trainers.. with or without socks?
It's a minefield! 😄
Not tucked in.

No flip-flops. Just not.
Not.
Trainers
Trainer socks.
Not
Trainers
Trainer socks

And What kind of hat is acceptable for a UK male aged 40+?
Any other summer fashion faux pas?
Bengal striped business shirt
Pink shorts
Boating shoes
Not
T shirt only untucked if yer cuddly, as Homer J simpson called it, a fat man dress. 🙂
What kind of hat is acceptable for a UK male aged 40+?
Depends.
Some people are natural hat people. Others are not.
Hat people will recognise their own hats. It's like magic.
I ,for example, in the winter, will rock a six panel duckbill cap and it's been acknowledged that it looks good on me. Put me in a Peaky Blinders bunnet which is only subtly different and I look ridiculous. You need to find the style that suits your face.
What kind of hat is acceptable for a UK male aged 40+?
A simple bucket hat, pale blue or beige, covered with many badges or perhaps fishing flies. Work it, sister.
Baseball cap.
Plain black t shirt
Shorts
Expensive flip flops
Baseball cap
👍🏻
If you're 60+ the fashion seems to be trousers, shirt, tie and either jumper or large M&S type coat.... While standing waiting for the bus in 27'C+ 👍
Can't believe it's not been quoted yet....
Ice white shoes, ice white socks with navy blue double cadet stripes, shorts, t-shirt with chevron action flash, and a tossed pink sweater.
Never socks and less with sliders
And What kind of hat is acceptable for a UK male aged 40+?
Speedo’s, Crocs and socks for me.
And a fez
Form an orderly queue please, laydeeeez 😃
Black shorts, t shirt out, flip floppers and beaten up green bush hat found on beach.
Wear any damn thing you like, in any damn way you find cool/exciting/comfortable
Its not school, you will not be more popular or be judged*
*not perhaps strictly true, but no one cares
I have a fez, damned if I am wearing it in this heat! Besides, it's an evening hat when you break out the quilted velvet jacket and the lounge wear. During the day, if I need to, I'll wear the same desert tan contractor's cap I have had since 2012. It suits me where other hats have failed.
For me, t-shirt untucked, but something that is not going to float around you like a dress. If you wear socks and sandals, I know people that would cheerfully hunt you down and beat you with sticks. It's a crime, just say no.
Speedo’s, Crocs and socks for me.And a fez
Thanks for the warning. Matching outfits could have been embarrassing!
(I’ve swapped my fez for a fox fur trappers hat just in case.)
Never socks and less with sliders
Sorry
Never sock unless with sliders
And a fez
Fezzes are cool.

Where's Flashy when you need him?
Where’s Flashy when you need him?
Down the market, knocking out orthopaedic flip flops from a genuine Louis Vuitton suitcase.
Back, sac, crack matched with crocs, socks and jocks.
Don't for get your clip on flip up shade covers for your prescriptions.
Saw a bloke marching round Lidl the other day had it right.
Dealer boots, green (I think, they were green - so covered in all sorts that it was hard to tell) Dockers (skin tight).
That's about it. No top. Big hairy belly overhanging the green trousers. Nicely tanned gorilla style hairy back.
Sex on a stick. Coulda mounted him in the aisle if his son hadn't been with him.
If you're a senior member of the Conservative Party then I understand that this summer's hottest sartorial choice is a Hugo Boss black tunic, with black trousers, black boots, a peaked cap and a red armband with a white circle and a black swastika.
Never tuck in your t shirt (except in winter under a jumper and coat where it cannot be seen tucked in)
If you are a man you should never ever where sandals (there may be some medical exceptions, but a doctors note will need to be shown on request)
Trainer socks only if your feet stink
Bucket hat with T shirt/ Panama with a shirt
edit: that's a narrow brimmed bucket hat, not one with a chin strap
Linen and posh non branded ‘trainers’ done in mesh with a gum or white sole (i have some nike ones in navy and a petrol blue pair, you can’t make out the nike swoosh) like common projects or similar, there’s loads out there.
trainer socks matched to the colour of the shoe.
linen shirts, trousers or shorts.
tucked in or not depends on how formal you have to be and the shirt (and if your shorts are belted)
if i have to be smart i have a seersucker jacket made of thin synthetic, looks expensive but uniqlo in the sale, worn with a linen shirt you don’t sweat like a peado at the school gates.
hats? anything from a linen cap. bamboo trilby with loads of tiny holes in it to a short brimmed panama for the posh do’s i never get invited to.
for dossing round the house any old pair of shorts and an overwashed/stretched T that should be in the bin.
T'Other Half's summer hat, as modelled by Poppy Poodle Dog

how on earth did you manage to take a photo of my anxiety dream?
nice monocle - suits your dog
That’s a selfie 🥳👊👀
My current look is a t-shirt, some blue chino material shorts and a pair of offensively bright trainers. Legs are freshly shaved of course.
Though at work I’ve been wearing similar shorts, a tucked in shirt and some blue deck shoes. The business casual of summer attire. In fact, I’m off for Michelin starred meal tomorrow and am debating wearing something very similar.
Deck shoes ?
“These aren’t just deck shoes, these are M&S deck shoes”
Only to be worn with a pink piqued shirt collar, unless totally salt encrusted.
Lemon Jumper anyone ?
I passed a couple on the coast path today.
He was in speedos and walking boots, she was in a pink bikini and walking boots. Pretty sure they were German...
Flat cap.
T shirt.
Not tucked in, unless your mum dressed you this morning.
An optional shirt. Very practical AND flattering for the pastry positive.
Baggies/Shorts.
Sainsbury's do a nice short.
Socks - normal ones.
'Trainer Socks'? 🙂
Vans/Adidas.
A cheeky ensemble.
Practical, yet unlikely to get you physically ejected from most weddings, cafes, funerals, bike shops, worthwhile job interviews or non-artisan pubs.
It's at times like these I'm glad I'm 65 and couldn't give a shit.
‘Round our way it is very cool to wear matching socks and flip flop combos.
In 39 degrees. It’s a thing.
My missus is embarrassed by my meindl sandals.
Knotted handkerchief (covering the bald pate), vest (string or otherwise), ex army tropical issue shorts, shoes (yep, just your regular everyday shoes) and socks (obvs). That’s what my grandad’s wearing, sitting in a deckchair, on the beach at Broadstairs, in the photo I was looking at just the other day. 1950s mind, but style never goes out of fashion.
Pretty sure they were German…
You did well to ascertain where their boots were made - I'd have found the bikini and speedos too distracting.
T-shirts should never be tucked in. The whole concept of tucking one in is plain ****ing weird unless your Jeremy Clarkson and he’s a dickhead. Bare foot or just trainers if needed. Hat is bucket, military cap or anything really. Being a baldy, pale fella I can’t be too picky or it’s tomato head for me.
Lol @ asking that on here with perhaps the most sartorially challenged group of old biffers on the internet.
And What kind of hat is acceptable for a UK male aged 40+?
Panama or fedora. Pork pie for winter
Yesterday we actually had one of the people who sells us cards phone ahead to see if it was ok to visit in shorts.
Seeing as I live in shorts and don’t wear shoes behind the counter the call was totally unnecessary.
How has it ended up with the display of male flesh being taboo? The lady card reps are baring their legs, shoulders and arms yet males must be covered.
I’m sure ladies of the early 20th century are laughing their heads off.

🙄
At the current time, plain black Route One cargo shorts, a slightly faded mauve Lifeforms tee shirt with a mountain biking frog on the back, that I bought at the 94 Worlds in Vail, plain black M&S cotton-rich sports socks, 5:10 shoes that are a bit like Vans lo-tops, and during the day, while it’s hot, a hat not unlike Lady Gresley’s dog is styling, only mine has a plain band, with a buzzard feather for decoration.
Usually it’s a plain black 6-panel duckbill, but in this heat, I need the ventilation and a bit of a brim to stop the tops of my ears flaking!
Tomorrow’s teeshirt is likely to be different, I’ve dozens to choose from!
When it’s a bit cooler, I’m more likely to be wearing Meindl Desert Fox army boots, and around the house, I wear a pair of original Teva sandals I bought in LA in ‘93, without socks, of course; there are standards one has to maintain, after all!
Just wear what you want and stop believing there are right and wrong things to wear. Seriously stop believing there is anything called fashion and get on with your life. You won’t ever be happy worrying about if you have the right hat on.
(db currently rocking the crocs)
Summer UK male fashion
That must be an oxymoron.
Office shirt ith cuff undone tucked into red short with turn ups and boat shoes seem to be a fashion.
A pair of Loro Piana loafers and anything from Boglioli or Brunello Cucinelli summer range.
helps if you have a yacht and holiday on the Amalfi coast.
The general rule: too baggy is always preferable to too tight.
Can I put a quiet word in for a "summer gilet" - goes well with a tshirt and shorts, and also has pockets for your valuables.
Tshirt unbismirched by any kind of logo mountain bike motif or slogan colour optional but avoid white unless you want grey or blue...
Shorts above the knee not baggy.
Shorts should have a belt.
Actually its pretty much what i want for riding aswell.

Well, that’s me out then, I have barely any plain tees, and those are white ones, the majority have been bought at gigs, or have a mountain biking connection.
Not that I actually give a shit, I’m now 65, and too old to care what anyone thinks - at least I don’t have my tees stretched across a stomach that shows up on Google Earth and carries its own postcode...

Nope, nope, nope, nope, no, no, no
at least I don’t have my tees stretched across a stomach that shows up on Google Earth and carries its own postcode…
Bit pious.
They,like you don't give shit either.
I however exude sartorial elan.
I’m sure they’re all dead now
Heads laughed clean off their shoulders.
‘scuse my sartorial ignorance, but what are ‘sliders’? I thought they were miniature hamburgers
Dwayne Dibbly to the forum please!
Sarong. If it's good enough for Beck's...
Why not go for the Tactikilt if you want pockets and still some sort of coolness/ventilation. 5.11 do one.
Not tucked.
Espadrilles
Trainer socks (they're for trainers see)
Hat? - Stetson of course...
Espadrilles
