Too old for Tee shirts?

Witzendwhat's wrong with Panama hats? Sean Connery wears them

The last person I would ask advice about clothing would be my DH he is clueless. When we go out I tell him what to wear if I don’t he would just stay in his scruffy dog walking pants.
No one is too old for T-shirts in my honest opinion if you have a slack tummy wear baggy T-shirts. Nice and cool on the hot summer days and more comfortable.

Oh no! Mr L has failed badly this morning. A panama hat just looked plain daft.

I’ve told dh I’ll divorce him if he ever wears a Panama hat! Thank goodness until now he’s stuck to a wide-brim Aussie style.

Yes?

I do like a man in a Panama. Or an Akubra. (Well, not every man, you understand!)

Frankly, I'm too old to care whether I look good in a t shirt or not but there are certain t shirts I wouldn't wear out and about. And certainly not one with a logo.

DH tends to wear short-sleeved shirts or polo shirts but he's even older than me.

Some kind of accident lafergar just try not to let them sway then

In defence of elder men, not all have flabby pecs and a paunch.

I'm with your DH, lafergar. T shirts do nothing for the older man's paunch and flabby pecs.

Exactly! Especially when paired with a baseball hat.😄

I am lucky in that I am still reasonably slim at 74 and do not have bingo wings ( although the skin on my arms is starting to look a bit crepey). My summertime ‘uniform’ is T- shirt and jeans.
One thing I absolutely will not wear is jeans or trousers with an elastic waist. I think they scream ‘old lady’ at the world and they always make your bum look baggy. I actually shudder when I see them for sale online in shops like Damart.

My husband wears Tshirts all the time at home, practical and comfortable. He has said though that now he 79 he will stick to plain ones, no pictures or slogans.

You're never too old to wear whatever you want to wear, including t-shirts! I'm wearing a t shirt with my favourite rock/metal band on the front of it today, and when I popped into a bakery to buy something for lunch, the lovely girl behind the counter asked me all about it and said she was a fan of them too. It quite made my day!

Totally with you here....I'm clinging to my Pearl Jam t-shirt until it falls apart!

T-shirts come in so many styles and fabrics, surely there’s something for everyone! I won’t be getting rid of mine. I prefer v-neck and not clingy ones. I’ve learnt to do a French tuck and it can transform the look of a T-shirt from having just slung it on to having taken a moment or two to arrange it smartly.

There's T-shirts and then there's T-shirts.

Years ago, I ditched mine and bought some that were expensive (for a T-shirt); the material was good quality - slightly thicker than the normal T, and with different neck styles. The 'envelope' neck was particularly flattering. Some of them had turn up cuffs on the sleeves and 'tabard' style.

... but they were still T-shirts.

The trick is, I think, to buy them large enough, and not to buy the really cheap, thin ones that lose their shape and become baggy-looking. The ones I bought would flatter anyone's figure I think.

The problem is, I removed all the labels and can't remember who makes them (if they are still manufactured) and the shop that sold them has now gone out of business.

It was 30 years ago, and I'm still wearing them.

I'm with your DH, lafergar. T shirts do nothing for the older man's paunch and flabby pecs.

Micky, that could cause soem sort of accident I fear.

So many comments saying people can wear whatever they want to, which I agree with, but surely that applies to the OPs husband, if he feels too old for a T shirt then that is his choice.

I like to cover as much flesh as possible as I do not like the look of old wrinkly skin.

I wear oversized, boxy tees with elbow length sleeves. Very comfy and quite on-trend!

You're never too old for tee shirts, I wear them all the time, with long shorts, and I'm nearly 81, and why you bothered about uplift, let them hang where they may

I agree with the earlier comments about the importance of wearing well fitting bras, which can make a huge difference to the look of any outfit.

As for tee shirts, yes they are fine for casual wear at any age.

I have noticed though that it’s best to pay a bit more, as even M and S ones seem very thin now.
I’ve got some probably twelve years old now and the difference in quality is very noticeable.
My nautical, blue and white striped ones are still going strong.
It’s lucky I haven’t put on weight, as I still have summer dresses from over twenty years ago which I still love, so that serves as an incentive to keep an eye on my weight!

Who doesn't love a t-shirt! They are available in all styles and sizes.

The only ones I'm not too keen on are slogan ones on older people.

Yes the slim shows it all but I look like a bag lady in relaxed fit so tee shirts are out for me.

I am 81, I do wear tee shirts but avoid round necks and go for v necks as my neck isn’t long enough. M and S do different fits so I usually buy relaxed fit rather than slim fit because it skims over the lumps and bumps.

No, No and more NO! Wear what you want and be happy. I love my t-shirts.
