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.

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

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...
