Daff, I'm kind of ahead of you with the glasses ;) and the hair.........lol

BC! ROFL.... that will have to be his 'alternative occupation outfit' ;)

xx

I would kit him out in a gold lame suit with purple sequinned spats, turquoise contact lens, and....oops sorry am thinking of MY perfect man! LOL BC XX

Kay, I know.... but this guy has been ultra ultra conservative, lol and is buying for himself, he won't have a woman with him ;¬)) .... so M & S would just about bridge that gap at least at first... I think I have *met* the fella, lolol My hubby has been military all his adult life.... and trying to get him to move past Sgt's and Officer's type *informal* has been a bit of a nightmare, lolol M & S was the start. Next is pretty good, too.

Rose, I also think the biggest change would need to be his specs.... and his haircut. Those specs have got to go. Maybe he could have contacts?

Love

How about some nice light weight loafer shoes do all ranges from dressy to casual
Linnen shirts look nice with jeans or dress trousers
And a nice Blazer goes with jeans or dress trousers

M&S are so old fashioned for men,

My OH has always been a 'good' dresser. When I first met him he was wearing chinos and a dark russet jacket. He has suits but prefers the mix n match look. He's quite adventurous with colours, too, not averse to pink, pastels or red/orange etc. Good outlets include Lands End, Fat Face, Gap, Debenhams. I was disappointed with M&S men's range this year, but he has bought some good stuff there in the past.

depends what his overall image is to start with.

if hes 25stone then a pr of chinos wont look the part,:}}}}}
but of average build.

casual a well cut pr of dark or lght jeans,pr of loafer type shoes,nice Ben Sherman type shirt worn out,and a re-hair style if any allow.}

dress up a good pr of cut trousers,nice modern shirt and tie but left loose.,plus a nice cut jacket.
all finished off with a nice smell and no longjohns.....}}

Lol.... he is very real, that's why!! ;¬))

Love

Thanks Daff :)) I think you have that just about right for him ;)

Chinos and polo shirt is good, smart but casual, and not too big a step from his conservative suit and white shirt. I would also get him into yachting shoes... or leather taupe casuals.

Is this for social, or for work as well?

I would go with chinos at work, too but maybe darker.... topped with a light coloured linen jacket for the summer, and a darker casual/smart jacket for the winter... look at Next and M & S online. He is likely not to be too adventurous just yet, so will make the first couple of purchases very tentatively.... by the end, he might be throwing in a couple of brighter items, lol

Cotton or cashmere sweaters to tone in.... loads of wonderful colours out there for men!

Thanks Robert.....I am afraid the final say on what he wears is mine alone lol , 'he' being a character in a story :) but i am trying to make him feel 'comfortable' in his new clothes ;)

Sounds just like me when I was his age!!! I wore business suits with plain shirts and tie and now I wear Sports Jacket, light coloured shirts which look smart with or without a tie and casual but plain shoes.

Don't try to change him into something he isn't because he will feel uncomfortable and resentful.

Give a range of suggestions but let him make the final choice.

Good luck.

that's sort of the look Gill, i am just having difficulty with fitting it to the person in my mind lol.

Cotton casual trousers and a short sleeved shirt open at neck. casual shoes.

I'm seeking inspiration too.....*sighs

It very well could be Mau ;) lol, it's become a sticking point

could this be M..... Rose lol xx
