Men and jeans...

[gripper stebson]

OK so I was watching Wayne Hemmingway and some other geezer on Breakfast News stating that men over 35 should NEVER wear jeans.

Couple this with Emily and Frank discussing the very same issue on the Frank Skinner podcast this week... Frank saying that he reached 30 and decided he could never to wear them again.

So. What do we think? I am heading towards the big 40. What am I supposed to bloody wear?

Pass 40 over a year ago and wear jeans around the house, jeans at work, jeans going out...

That ponce on the telly can sod right off!

I only wear black jeans. Terrified as to what I'll do when I hit 35.

 

[pasty]

Bollocks to that. I'm 47 and still wear jeans.

Having seen what Wayne Hemmingway wears, I certainly wouldn't take fashion advice from him.

Yep 46 here and live in jeans, although they are sensible and clean these days, I do agree about men not wearing the silly rap (or ripped) jeans round their knees past a certain age.

I'm 36 and live in jeans when I'm not wearing my work clothes. Anyone who tells me that any man (who looks after himself) would look better in chinos or slacks can jolly well sod off.

Worn Levis all my life and will until I die. Now white trainers is another matter all together, they are just WRONG on older men.

40 and only wear jeans

I'm 65 and in my 501's I look well cool, and always have done!
On Breakfast they had the back combed bafoon who did some designing or buying for Topman, and Wayne Hemmingway northern design geezer and always present brown suit.
Like I'm going to take any clotheware solutions from those two. Bring on our very own Xenophon who does have a clue.

There are jeans and there are jeans, jeans are for all ages as long as they are worn right/right cut/colour and they don't have a t-shirt tucked into them.

It's a free world so wear what you like...however, my opinion, older men and jeans don't mix...same as older blokes and XXXL replica shirts...

not sure how old you are - but it's a world of cords and slacks for you at some point, possibly now;-)

Do what YOU want to do and don't take any notice of other people

 

[severnside gull]

Won't see 60 again but I WILL be seen in jeans

That raises a certain annoyance for me...

Any sporting clothing (replica shirts, sweat pants, track suits) should only be worn by people who look like they could actually take part in the activity in question.

If you have clearly never been in a gym and/or throw up at the thought of running the length of a football pitch then you should NEVER EVER EVER be allowed to wear sports clothes!

No one who actually plays football has ever needed 3X's ...so shirts like that shouldn't even be made!

wear what OAP's wear.

proper smart shirt, wool jumper, smart trousers, smart shoes.

You could also wear a tie if you go out the house along with a nice smart coat that comes at least down to your knees and a grandad hat.

Well, I'm old enough to know they don't suit me!...but it's not quite a case of elasticated waists for me just yet...but I do have rather a nice selection of well cut chinos...
