tsk where's Gok when you need him eh?

hmmm that's helpful Eldrick lol ....goes back to drawing board >>>>

I don't see him in jeans Jill, can't as yet invisage him out of them either but I'll work on it LOLOL....

Well, what I would like to see a woman wearing....? Do I really need to answer that.....?

:-) :-)

My recommendations are as follows then.

From the inside out - if you can still get them (try ebay) string foundation garments are comfortable and sensible, not to mention long lasting and in need of minimal care and ironing.

Socks should be of pure wool or cotton, depending on the time of year, with reinforced heels and thick soles for comfort. Outer apparel is a bit more difficult, but I would suggest a cotton checked shirt with large buttons to make life easier for arthritic fingers and cavalry twill or corduroy trousers, generously cut for comfort and smartness. A cardigan is good to top things off.

I find white trainers or plimsols are comfortable and sensible, but for dining out black ones are better and more acceptable.

For the casual look, I have a smock and straw hat.

Well, I like to see men wear natural fibres - none of these polo shirts made of synthetics 'cos in this weather they get all sweaty and hot looking.

Lots of good T shirts out there - and he's not too old to buy ones that are a bit "off the wall" ...

Does he look OK in jeans? Some men look dreadful in jeans but look good in chinos or (dare I say it) cords?

Eldrick, while you're at it...what would you like to see a lady of around the same age wearing?...perhaps moving away from the twinset and pearls to something 'softer'....

Jill, I'd say about 5' 9 ish, not overweight but not skinny
a man who has to wear a suit and tie to work and would just buy a white shirt to go with...blue if he was feeling 'adventurous'...

I should perhaps add at this point, nothing too 'country' lol.....smart but not overdressed...

can't you tell I am without a man in my life rofl....

What size and shape is he?

Easier to say what we don't like men wearing: white socks (unless they're playing tennis), T-shirts that are a bit "snug", anything tucked in if they have a bit of a beer belly, anoraks.

Jill

yes please Eldrick ;)

Would you like some input on my ideas of male sartorial elegance...?

I don't mind.

lol I need some advice, ladies and gentlemen...imagine you (male) are, or your OH, is around 50 and looking to update their image..

what would you like to see them wearing?

add...without making them look too much like 'mutton dressed as lamb'!
