The men's dress style thread..

[tyred]

I have six pairs of trainers as I'm quite sporty so need a variety but the way i roll is I like wearing my suede desert boots mainly
rather than doss about in trainers. I even cycle in them now and again depending on where I'm going to. Wrong side of 40 now so outgrowing certain fashion wear.
Had to have a cull of the wardbrobe this past summer, took 2 full bin bags down the charity shops, stuff like rippped jeans and shirts certain tops, all sorts really that I no longer feel comfortable or like wearing ever again. Levis, nice shirts and sports jacket desert boots and my favorite italian supple tan leather shoes that cost me a tenner from a charity shop.

Charity shops are great for gents shoes as you can often find quality shoes basically unworn. My most worn shoes came from a charity shop and are lovely supple Italian leather, really comfortable and despite walking hundreds of miles in them, the rubber soles are still barely worn.

So, there I am driving along on my hat's maiden outing with my car's soft top down, when all of a sudden a gust of wind blows my brand new 465 dabs hat off my head to land on the road behind, only to be crushed by the following vehicle.

Wrong hat for the occasion. You want a hat like this for open topped car

Looks like someone borrowed it to wear while emulsioning a ceiling.

I think even The Princess of Wales would baulk at this one!!

A bit too 'Boy George' for me.

Style, not flamboyant, for me. 😂

Oops, clearly not a corner of my universe.... bye....

I don't know, looking at it again I'm tempted even though I know it'll attract lots of ridicule. 🤔 It's unlined, so probably better for spring and summer.

Mmm, is it worth it? 🤔

It says 100% felt, but is that rabbit felt, or cheaper wool felt? 🤔
I just have to have a Borsalino hat!! It's an itch that won;t go away until scratched!! I don't want to pay a daft £500 plus for one, but I'm willing to pay £200 plus if it's rabbit fur not wool.

I bet it's not satin lined either, but that's ok as it'll be cooler, breathable in warmer weather, meaning it'd be wearable in the summer and I think this hat would look better in spring/summer than autumn/winter.

At that price?

Only if you want to look like you are just off the set of "Shaft"

Which is so much better than looking like you're just leaving a business park in Slough
