    Well with me it's a cultural thing, of course. I did wear jeans on and off for a long time but tracky bottoms are more comfy. I like the Italian trackys best, Fila and Tacchini. Got a couple of vintage 1980s Tacchini tracky tops, if I wear them when I am out in Liverpool they get much admired.

    I've just turned sixty and my wardrobe is 90% jeans, Novelty t-shirts (Green Lantern The Flash, Planet of the Apes) etc., and baseball boots or skate shoes. This last couple of years, her indoors has been trying to move me away from flares, but I don't have the legs for these skinny jeans.

    I have some smarter stuff too, boots and shirts by Barbour, Rockport etc., which I use for visiting Hifi shops, my theory being that they make more time for you if you look like you can afford their gear

    Your theory is right. Never forget the first time I went into the bank in a suit, got called 'Mr McCall' and 'Sir'. That had never happened in my previous 300 visits.

    Good grief!

    I prefer subtle tones and don't like graphics on anything.

    Got a few lightweight Rockport jackets for summer though.

    Rockport, it's a bit ICF/Danny Dyer though, isn't it? I had some Rockport trainers once but they were catalogue returns so dirt cheap, couldn't pass them up.
