clothing for the 30-odd year old man
Discussion
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?
i should qualify here, i do own smartish things, however left to my own devices i generally slob about in trainers, knackered jeans and t-shirts.
Reiss - aware, not been for a while, will check
Zara - always thought their things were a bit weird, and they don't fit me
Debbos - like next for me, not sure why, but i don't feel i'm quite there yet...
supermarkets - not really what what i was looking for, cheers all the same
as it happens i was going to a GQ event at selfridges in manc tonight, so whilst mrs 2cv was smashing the free cocktails and chatting up the male-jail-bait staff i was beavering about and got a couple of pairs of jeans, a coat and a jumper. Happy days.
job - IT consultant (no not an assistant in PC world, like an actual one!)
school - stty comp, stty college, BSc leeds uni, MSc leeds met
location - erm, cheshire... not the footballer bit, but not quite the farmer weird bit either
shotgun - i won a clays comp recently... don't own a gun though!
dog - none
car - Jag XF
have been eyeing up the idea of having a tailored suit for a while... one day soon.
grey fox blog - like it, cheers for that
as for shopping on the web - i can't be arsed with having forced 'assistance' in shops constantly, and being looked up and down... maybe that goes with the occasional scruffball image.

What for?
Can you seriously not think of an occasion where a decent suit might be needed?Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
