Don’t you just hate people who....

I don't mind wearing a suit if appropriate and I've got a couple of good ones. I wouldn't wear them just for the sake of it though.


The trend of wearing brown shoes with a dark suit needs to stop.

'Never brown in town'. Doesn't matter that the 'fashion' is, it's just wrong.

Holidays are one thing, living somewhere is different.

If you're living somewhere tropical you get used to it, body thermostat will adjust. Same as if you live somewhere very cold. It's no excuse to wear tragic footwear and clothing.

One of the great things about being over 60 and retired is that I don't give a rat's arse about what is 'passable' or what others think I should be wearing. Not that I was too bothered when I was still working but was in a management role for a while and did adhere to some sense of decorum ...

Although I resist the temptation to dye my hair pink and wear a leotard and sandals to go shopping, I take my hat off to any other old codgers who feel the need to express their wildest taste in sartorial grandeur. Once you've done your time on the treadmill "fuck 'em all" should be the motto

Ditto on both counts

As ever, trends are followed by mindless sheep. Why wear something that's deemed as 'trendy', if it makes you look ridiculous? It's just crazy. Better to create YOUR OWN look/trend! I always admire people who aren't afraid of expressing themselves, through the clothes that they wear - as long as it's carried out with some class.

A) it shows you've got a personality, instead of being just a bland/boring 'no mark', and b) it demonstrates that you're a free-thinker, not a sheep. blindly following the herd, and who's not afraid of sticking two fingers up to convention! Such people only deserve my respect.

I completely agree, Mike, but *only* when you're truly past it, and so it no longer matters.

It's of course ultimately up to the individual concerned, and I'd always respect someone's wishes, but if you're still reasonably young (or not quite decrepit, lol), and reasonably fit and healthy, why not take a pride in your appearance?

Chances are it'll make you feel good and improve your self-esteem. And life's too short not to feel good! There's plenty of time to give up when you're wobbling around in your zimmer, and dribbling from both ends!!

Yup, and I applauded him on them!

Marco was first in his school to wear a basque and 6 inch heels. Lol

Indeed, and it wasn't even a remake of the Rocky Horror Picture Show!

You're confusing him with Lady GaGa I think. Done that myself a few times.

Watching The Superbowl last year I thought it was Marco doing the half-time show until about half way through when there was a close up and I realised 'Oh, it's her!'
