Too old for Tee shirts?

grumppa

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.😄

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

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

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

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.

Yes?

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.

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.

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

DH surprised me this morning by looking very smart - and we were only going to the hospital!!

I personally hate shirts and blouses and never wear them. T Shirts are good but I always buy scoop or v neck as I feel strangled in a crew. In this heat ( and most of the summer if I’m honest) I wear vest tops, sleeve less and cool with shorts or cotton/linen skirts . Linen dress if I want to be smarter going out . Wear whatever you like any age I’m 72 and I don’t care about anyone’s opinion but my own .

Hope he had clean undies on Allira😄

Every day!

It was my appointment, anyway.

Well, I might wear DH's and attach corks as we have a swarm of flying ants in the garden.

Then , Suspiros, you would shudder at my apparel . I used to have a waist but now my priority is to pull my nether garment down very quickly before I wet it, and elastic is useful. Still I sympathise with your priority which ,believe it or not , affects me too . I prefer to appear healthier than I am and conceal what I do conceal.

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.

You're very lucky in that then. Spare a thought for those of us who cannot wear anything with a fixed waistband because of certain medical conditions. I live in leggings for that very reasons. Wearing anything with a fixed waistband, even for a fairly short time, would leave me in agony for days.

I'm an old lady!

Well some might dispute the lady!

Jeans in this weather?

I have several pairs of very lightweight white jeans which are a staple summer wear

I’m wearing very lightweight pale yellow jeans with a navy t shirt, all cotton, very cool.

I wear tops from Hobbs and Whistles.
They are not described as T shirts, but that's what they are. Just a well made, smart version.

I wear nothing but tee shirts...tops from Bonmarche....my favourite shop for my age...when I say nothing but...I do wear skirts and trousers...don't want to scare the neighbours..

There's loads of different sorts of Teeshorts to choose from , lafergar.

You should never wear things that make you feel uncomfortable, but don't give up because somebody else says so.

I cannot do that, Dogsmother , as the Tesco man could send for the police if I answered the door naked dressed in clingy.

Could be worth the laugh

I think T shirts can be unforgiving but with a good bra, ok. Personally, I find M&S T shirts truly awful. They fit badly on me and look ugly so I go for a slightly more expensive shop and it seems worth it. Also, online and ethical, I buy some tops in Nomads, often in their sale.
