    Not at all.
    You're only too old if you feel too old!

    I'm in my 40's & shop in those places from time to time. Wear whatever you feel comfortable in.

    Know what you mean. Mine was strangely at 24, I realised I was no longer a young fella and my childhood/college days were behind me.

    Being honest, the craic has never been the same again (I'm 38).

    I think 25 is too old only if you feel too old or uncomfortable for wearing such clothes. I am 10 years older than you and frequently shop in those stores and love a lot of their clothes as they make me feel and look good.

    Those stores have plenty of outfits I would shy away from (perhaps more loud or extreme colours, logos, skinnier fits etc) but other outfits with more muted colours, slim or roomier fits, classic styles etc that are still contemporary and stylish so you will have choice in those stores - it's all about what makes you feel and look good and comfortable wearing.

    Topman is probably the only store I feel that I am probably too old for (it definitely pitches for the more youth/student market) but even still, I can still pick up the odd nice shirt or top there.

    25 ? ya mate , you need pipe and slippers , what are you up so late for !

    Seriously though I'm 29 , not a fan of river island stuff , but it's not age related I just don't like it . Jack and Jones I've liked their stuff a lot more probably since I'm about 25 . Topman is a bit hit or miss for me . I like their shoes , some of their more formal gear . Would you shop in Zara ? If you've got the right physique , the clothes in there are great for the prices they retail at .

    you can never be to old to look good,
    but i'm sure it depends on how well a man keeps himself as he clocks up the years, but 25 is a young lad
