Getting too old for caps is such a British thing.

Look at Steve Reich, dude is in his 70s and he won't even take the thing off to turn up to a premiere of his own music.

those older fashion buyers in all rick (especially with them adidasxro) always look silly to me, otherwise i agree with pad…it just depends on the person and the big how you combine things.

Proof that Cons can be worn no matter the age. How you wear - not what.

what do people class as skinny jeans? i don't think 19cm hem is that skinny but wouldn't go lower.

varsity jackets as well

Yeah, i think it looks good. Like i said, it's how you wear it & if you want to keep some youthful element to your outfit i can't see a problem - when it's done right.

Look so shit on men now, I'll say over 16 but maybe 20 yo can get away with them.

Slim jeans are ok not tight though.

All of this is total bollocks. If your a slim fucker like Mob or me it makes no sense to suddenly go ok im 30 odd so I cant wear skinny/slim jeans. Russ cant wear them anymore because he is a big bald lump covered in biro and thats fine as he would look a twat. But doesn't mean as soon as you hit 30+ even 40+ you should suddenly start dressing like Marlon Brando.

Its all about what suits you, your frame. Im wearing alot more tailoring and will more than likely continue to do so as I get older as I think tailoring done right looks good regardless of age. Cons not for over 40s never heard so much bollocks in my life.

True that.

And the only reason cons for over 40's is wrong is cos of paul mccartney.

This^

skinny jeans look wank on anyone fuck all to do with age, and 70s cons look better on older dudes imo
I know a 40 some guy that dresses exclusively in street wear and he looks terrible, but that is only because he's doing it wrong
