Looking the part

[Slowboathome]

I dress like a bag of st tied in the middle.

2009 Yaris.

[rjfp1962]

Grey MX-5ND and grey baseball cap! Delibirate? Quite possibly.!

[Hoofy]

I dress like I fell down the stairs and landed in the laundry basket. Neither of my cars are washed. So I guess, the answer is, "Yes."

[Sporky]

No.

I don't have a Porsche.

[Scrump]

I recently did the opposite. Had to attend a formal meeting and as it was at the other end of the country I went in my campervan and made a long weekend of it.
Stepping out of the van wearing a suit and tie felt a little odd.

Me too - not going to change that to match whatever car I’m going to drive

I dress for what I'm doing, and use the car that suits what I'm doing.

I'm concerned now that I've misunderstood the world again.

Me too. This thread has filled me with such self-doubt now.

Patched corduroy trousers held up with the same baling twine that holds the Volvo estate's rear hatch closed?

I let it begin with my first MK3 Cortina - Platform shoes, Pin-stripe suit with big lapels and a kipper tie. Topped off with a black Samsonite briefcase.

Then there was my Volvo Estate - Barbour jacket, check shirt and a flat cap. Accessorised with a pair of green wellies in the back.

Now, my P38- For any meaningful journey - Gilet with a Land Rover logo, Brown cords and another check shirt (Larger than in the Volvo days!) I'm toying with a pair of Churches and a Baker boy cap. Is that a step too far?

BMW Targa is getting nearer to being finished - longest restoration in history - I'd have thought baseball cap and a bomber jacket but that's just not me - 'specially at 72 years of age! Maybe a 'biggles' outfit - What say you?

P-38 you say? Chapeau!

When driving my Caterham, I wear a Westfield baseball cap… makes me laugh anyway

Wishful thinking, just wishful thinking!

[MattsCar]

I have an estoril blue BMW.

I have an old puffa jacket that I slob around in that happens to be a similar colour and without thinking, I wore it last week.

Once I set off, I thought "I hope people don't think I am trying to match up to with my car, that is almost as bad as wearing a WRC Subaru jacket and cap while driving a Subaru".

[Mr Tidy]

I've never dressed to suit my car, and at my age (65) I certainly don't plan to start now!

[Stick Legs]

This picture was taken at Goodwood.

It wasn’t deliberate but my outfit, the Waitrose bag, thermos of tea, wicker hamper are SO cliché!

I even have a black Labrador so even my dog matches my car.

So no, I don’t do it but instead bought a car that suits me.

If that makes sense!

[Stick Legs]

I will add that period music for period cars is a thing.

I’ll start a new thread for that…

Surely the dress is for what your doing once destination is reached? For me either gym/dog walking or work gear as I seem to do not much else at the moment!

Unless you don't have a destination.
After 18 years of Caterham driving, it's a change to jump into a car without having to think about suitable clothing.

[Second Best]

Nah, I don't bother. I dress universally ste regardless of what I'm driving.

It's kind of a given with a C63, to see an unshaven guy in an oversized t-shirt and trackies puffing on a vape, getting out of it, but I'm guessing there are probably some double takes when I do the same in a Ferrari.
