Middle aged men in grubby blue jeans and tracksuits

umop apisdn

When did the middle aged Irish male become so scruffy and useless looking ?
Clinging onto their grubby out of shape blue jeans and t-shirts, that wouldn't look good on a 18 year old male model, never mind a grown man.
They look even more stupid than Jeremy Clarkson does, and that's the thinner ones.

Middle aged men have bigger things to worry about than how what they wear looks.

When it became the norm for 'leisure wear' to be the staple clothing of the Irish public. It's not just middleaged men, school kids are the same, sometimes it's difficult to tell the difference between teen girls and boys in their unisex tracksuits. I can't really decide which is worse 'leisure wear' in a non sports related environment or polo shirts on middleaged men. It's like a lot of men reach a point where they stop caring about their appearance and a stripy polo shirt and jeans are what they think is dressing up for a night out.

You're safe enough, they're making a comeback in Limerick along with tucking your tracksuit bottoms into your socks

Maybe they are, or maybe they're stuck trying to recapture their youth or the 70's/80's/90's or such like, who knows

I have a great philosophy in life, fcuk what other people think of you.

If someone else is wearing something you don't like, so what, its not as they're forcing you to wear the same at gunpoint

Don't worry, you'll find a middle aged man that's right for you.

I would have thought it far more about self respect, and enjoying living rather than permanently wearing the same out of shape grubby blue jeans and flabby sweatops through middle age and older.

Or when they wear runners or cons. What are they thinking?

Tis a bit strange looking all right. Maybe their mammies still dress them and buy their clothes.

I am kind of curious which kind of jeans and sweatshirts you mean, can you post a link to the kind of clothes you mean?

Skatedude

Mabey they dont own a washing machine? Is there a fixed age where you say, "I'm suddenly going to stop wearing all the clothes i like because of what strangers might think"

Jeans and tee shirts are fine, but i do clean mine, but i'd rather go naked than wear a tracksuit.

kneemos

Shirts,pullovers,pants and shoes.
Sounds worse than tracksuits and runners.

Are Chino's OK?

OP, is it possible there are things you don't give much thought to/care about. Your car perhaps, maybe you don't see the need to drive around in a status symbol, maybe anything would do you to get from A to B. Maybe its groceries. Maybe you rather save money at Lidl and don't go in for the idea that the only brand of ketchup worth bothering with is Heinz. It's all just tomato sauce.

A lot of middle aged men are like this when it comes to clothes. They're married, they have kids. Theres no one to impress. Their lives are a soul crushing procession of bills, bills and more bills. They have no time to colour co-ordinate.

A perfect example of why some people cheat on their spouses:D
