Hollister Teeshirt at 46?

[CointreauVersial]

I bought a teeshirt for my 12yo niece from Hollister by mail order (don't get me started on the postage charge....I did add some Sale items for DS to the order to take the pain away).

The teeshirt is far too big for her; it's a size S, but, guess what? It fits me rather splendidly.

But I'm 46. Am I too old to walk around with Hollister emblazoned across my frontage? If I keep the tee, will DS ever speak to me again?

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Don't do it.

[BellaVita]

Wear it! I am 48 and wear Converse and wore them with skinnies and a SuperDry short sleeved shirt today for work

[CointreauVersial]

Its not my usual style, but it is a great shape on me.

I'm just worried it screams "Whitney dressed as Britney".

[Hulababy]

I couldn't I don't think. DD would probably laugh, lol!

[Chottie]

Do it, I have a Hollister cardigan. I was buying something for DN 1 & 2 and I saw a cardigan exactly the colour and style I wanted. I tried it and it fitted perfectly so I bought it.

I am a decade older than you.

[CointreauVersial]

Yes, but chottie, does your cardi have "Hollister" written across the chest in sparkly pink text?

It's the visible teen branding that worries me.

[Meglet]

Wear it.

Then I will feel ok about buying a Jack Wills t-shirt which the MN jury told me I was too old for.

[Prawntoast]

Could have the effect of making niece and DS less likely to want to wear Hollister in future, not a bad result! Says she whose 12 year old DD gives me strict instructions as to what I can and cannot do in Hollister, apparently you can't order a VAT at the cash desk!

[EleanorFarjeon]

I would (at 42) but my 14 year old would disown me, and I can see his point if I am honest.

Since he turned 40, I won't let my dh wear a t-shirt without a collar. I really think this should be the law for men.

[CointreauVersial]

12yo and 9yo DDs weren't bothered; it's 13yo DS (out at the moment) whose style is going to be severely cramped if I keep the tee.

He won't walk down the street next to me as it is!

[Windowbasket]

No

[UnicornsPooGlitter]

No. I saw a photo of a 35 year old with a Hollister hoody on Facebook, and I thought that was pushing it.

[DramaAlpaca]

No

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

You 'won't let' your dh wear a t-shirt without a collar? And he 'lets' you not 'let' him? If dp didn't 'let' me wear something, I'd make damn sure I wore it tbh.

[HormonalHousewife]

No, you shouldnt really and I think you know this

just suck up the postage charge

[CointreauVersial]

I think you are right, I'm going to return it.

Choice A - return it to a store for a credit voucher.

Choice B - post it back for a refund minus a £9 return postage charge.

Money-grubbing bastards. My neice would have loved it, if it hadn't been knee-length on her.

[thishouseisashittip]

You go girl! Wear it with confidence. Don't let anybody tell you you shouldn't wear something just because it has some word written on it!!

[HormonalHousewife]

£9

[50ShadesOfMaybe]

Have we learnt nothing from this thread?

If it fits you well and you like it, then wear it!

Embarrassing your DS is an added bonus!

[browneyedpixie]

I wouldn't but that's nothing to do with age, I just wouldn't as it's not my thing.

[dexter73]

thishouseisashittip - you've obviously never been on a thread about kids character clothing!

[Startail]

If it fits wear it!

I'm 45 and I have a Sol Cal hoodie, I'm sure I should be 15, but it's warm, was cheap and goes with everything.

[Chottie]

Cointreau my cardigan has a little discreet seagull which blends in with the pattern and hardly shows :)

[MaxinePeakedistrict]

Wear it as a night-shirt?
