Today I dressed as advised and bought by dd's. Pink cardigan, Grey tweed trousers and zebra print socks.
When I asked DH what he thought he answered "Care home chic."
What would your answer have been to him mine unfortunately is unprintable, but the Einstein hair is booked to be cut and new jumpers ordered from John Lewis along with trousers that fit him now not 20 years ago.

He would fit in a care home ,when my late mother was in one, he fell asleep in the lounge one of the men remarked they had got a new inmate. I'm sure he would soon get banned for bad behaviour though.
Like the episode of One Foot In The Grave where Victor starts a revolt in a care home?

Give me humour over dress sense anyday! If you like it, he'll get used to it.

I'm not sure yammy was looking for style tips.
I vote the socks stay. smile

I’d def keep the socks - love animal prints, it sit h the pink cardigan as pink doesn’t look good on me! I’m sure you looked very elegant!

I agree, it's not the socks I'd be getting rid of!!

I can wear a cerise pink but not pale pink and definitely not grey.
Or yellow
Or green
