The weather is quite autumnal in temperature today so this is my smart > casual (YMMV) outfit for today.

Are these Trickers? They look just like the brown version of my favourite boots

Thank goodness we're getting your meaning telepathically because your prose is limited.

People should stop asking folks here on PH for fashion advice. None of you here have a clue
Not sure that's the case.

Feel free to contribute if you consider yourself less clueless.
That's why I haven't dished out any advice as there are others better qualified than myself smile

What i do know is that the websites I've mentioned is a better place to learn how to dress better whatever your age than PH.
There's clearly a cohort who are into clothes and seem knowledgeable.

There has been some good advice posted here imho.

PH does contain some stylish people... however the vast majority of car fans are the opposite of stylish - you've only got to go to a car show to see that. The issue is that you can't have a style thread without the 'tucked in and faded car t-shirt, mum jeans, big white trainers, thick glasses and i had a beard before beards were cool' types wading in with their inspired views.

You like a bit of prison uniform do you?
Hmmm? biggrin
Hmmmm indeed.

With shirts I tend to go for pretty bold colours or stripes, I know that might not be what's currently on trend but that's me.

I picture Gizlaroc as dressing Alan Partridge types in Spalding although I'm probably wildly wrong.

Though I'd imagine plenty walk in for a pair of socks and walk out carrying a decent number of bags and £1000 lighter.

I am mostly a scruffy bd unless I need to dress up.

I don't do posh!

If I come to work dressed up then I get filthy - if I turn up scruffy then I tend to stay clean.

Not sure how that works ...

Style gurus...

Best pals wedding in the south of France next weekend. Haven't actually booked travel yet but I'm more concerned about what to wear. It's to be very casual. I've just spotted a pair of pink trousers I'd stick a white shirt with but my issue is the footwear.

What to wear with a pink chino type trouser in a (probably) hot climate?
