i didnt mean the actual age of the geezers doing the sport, just that its ok for older men in the states to dress like kids….while over here you'd look a bit of a sad twat, hence the thread

Snowboarders are getting older, im 33 and will be boarding for many years to come. Its a different comparison to skating though, that is a young persons thing. There are many older boarders and really old surfers, you can do both these sports and get away with it, but skating is different, even tony hawk looks pretty awkward, like a dad on a skateboard.
I think things have changed a little, Sky TV and the internet has made a difference. I have noticed people tend to stay single longer before settling down, more of a social culture which may be down to University being the norm nowadays.
At the end of day it is the individuals life experiences and social circles that may determine ones clothing choices.
Personally I have just lost touch. I have a work night out Friday and I haven't a clue what to wear. Haven't been out for 2 years since my boy was born.

how near to 36 are you two saying undone, im only 2 years away and its done up. we been doing it since the casual days with lacostes, the indie kids never invented it. 
top buttons undone on nearly 40's is only cool if you are going for the jeremy clarkson.
oh ans if you undo it and pop the collar you deserve to be shot.

asking for trouble not reading the previous 11 pages really but why dont you just wear a nice oxford shirt with chinos and a smart pair of shoes with a crewneck jumper if its chilly. you cant really go wrong and call it sitting on the fence but providing your clothes fit you, you'll look perfectly presentable for a work do.
I have read the thread which I quite enjoy at the moment, but my original question was more for smart casual.
Back in my day you couldn't get into a club without a collar and shoes, but I don't want to look like a dad in there.
