clothing for the 30-odd year old man

[Blown2CV]

Now there is no forum section for attire, so I can only assume I am transgressing some unwritten PH rule by posting such. However, here we go. I am nearly 35, and the time has come for me to be a bit more grown up with my clothings. I used to get a lot of stuff from ASOS online, however I find their products more and more ridiculous as time goes on; and I feel this is only natural. I want to dress smarter, but not like my Dad. I also want decent stuff and not spend a fortune. Seemingly, this combination of things in a single shop is not easily found for in the UK. Ideally, somewhere super-convient on the web with free delivery and return postage so I can try stuff and send back the unsuitables/poor fits. Ideas please?

How on earth did you manage to reach 35? Do you live alone in a bed-sit and survive on a diet of pizza and porn?

From your profile you live in Cheshire. I googled "Selfridges Manchester" and "Harvey Nichols Manchester". And yes there is one of each.

Debenhams.

Oooof, if the response to my request for clothing advice in The Lounge is anything to go by, hold on tight B2CV!

I'm 34 and I buy my jeans from Asda, T shirts and hoodies from online places like eBay, 8080labs and car shows. Trainers are normally DCs or Osiris and again mostly off the net. For smart/casual I just wear my newest (read less knackered) jeans with a 'sensible' jumper from Asda.

I should add I have been married for 7 years so I'm hardly getting dressed to impress these days.

Red trousers are quite popular in the city these days.

Wowsers.

I always thought you were a 15yo school girl. Lol.

Go figure.

No ones going to come up to you in the street and suggest a style, you will have to develop your own. It's harder going away from 'young' but not old , as your very much in between. Hard one.

Think we need a picture to dispense proper advice.

Browsing http://pinterest.com/all/?category=mens_fashion makes me think Tinkerbell is a modern clothes designer.

I believe i may be of some help to find whether you're tweed worthy i'll need some basic details, job, school background, location, amount of land owned, shotgun ownership, dog ownership, car ownership.

Every bloke needs at least one good suit, preferably hand made for the bloke, but at the least well tailored.

I probably ought to be wearing this kind of thing yet if I did, most people I know would fall about laughing, I suspect.
