    nope, I guess not

    Wolf, add a pair of goggles to any outfit, not only making it 600% more stylish, but also practical to keep zombie blood out of your eyes

    It's easy to wear just what you want when you're young, and permitted to have any attitude you wish. It's a lot more challenging to maintain that inner void when you "mature".

    However, I have found solace in certain items, that I wouldn't be without.

    1. Laced black shoes, or boots, always clean & polished.
    2. Photocromatic prescription reading glasses. I don't really need them, but I like the fact that they are never clear from the outside.
    3. A pristine handkerchief, not for any code reasons.
    4. While my job makes it impractical to wear a suit, I do wear a suit jacket. I have a dark navy, and two black jackets. I wear one everyday. I also have a dark brown one, which I wear whenever I have to play nice.
    5. As already indicated, a clean, unblemished silver Zippo lighter, is wonderfully therapeutic.
    6. A silver pen, with black ink. I have a few of these, made by Cross, back in the day when they where "Made In Ireland".
    7. An expensive pair of thin, black leather gloves. Not driving or golf gloves, but plain leather, almost like a second skin. Quite relaxing to wear.

    I do have other items of clothing, that I very rarely wear, as my yang partner (wife), keeps me grounded.

    I'd be interested to hear what attire other "older generation" members wear, on a daily basis.

    I actually in the process of trying to shift my wardrobe away from the jeans and t-shirt look that ruled me for so many years. I have to accept I is getting older and need to stop dressing like a kid.

    Suits are where it's at. If I was but a slimmer man I would constantly wear suits. As it is my broad shoulders + suit jacket make me look like I'm the hired heavy here to individually break all your fingers.

    No need to get rid of the jeans Wolfie, just add a bit of prep to your step up top.

    Flannel seems to be in fashion. It's all check this side of the pond... personally I don't get it, but anyhows.

    Hawaiian shirts are a no go I think. I've loads of them but stopped wearing them because you nearly always seem like a tourist or someone trying desperately hard to say "I'm funny", just like witty slogans on t-shirts. Let the personality do the talking, not your t-shirts. :)

    Actually, that's a nice Hawaiian shirt, I thought you meant the brighter and more painful ones. Flowery shirts are a different matter :)

    I just go for Hawaiians because they comfortable. Also, I can hide things oh so nicely under them.

    No, I prefer more subtle prints. Like the one I have that is printed with hundreds of little skulls.

    I knew as I typed it I'd cover about 80% of the Noc. Sure people say the same about band t-shirts which make up 80% of my wardrobe.

    I quite like very subtle shirts that someone in the know would get and say "hah, cool." Though I can't help myself with comic related stuff, providing it's more iconic than actual cartoon. I mean, full colour spider-man t-shirt... probably wouldn't wear, but an aul silhouette or something I'd be all over.

    I enjoy the lantern corp ideas. Kinda think the green lanterns were slightly weenery, but when they started adding in all the other colours and then fixing the greens... that got cool.

    They're quite similar to these awesome icecream and cupcake ones that were out and about at some point last year, with a significant heel. I don't think these are the ones on show due to the lil skulls, but, similar. Also think straps were different. Anyway, I remember looking at the icecream shoes and thinking "If I was a girl I'd totally get these bad boys!"
