to wear Superdry at 39

I bought myself a gorgeous Superdry coat yesterday. Didn't know much about the brand but I liked it, I needed one and it felt good quality so I bought it!

Afterwards I couldn't help but notice that it was mainly teenagers wearing Superdry and when I got home my DH gave me a Hmm and suggested I was too old for it. although he has the fashion sense of Jeremy Clarkson so I don't tend to take any notice of his clothes-related comments

It's bugging me now though - should I be wearing Superdry when I hit the big 40 next year?

I opened this thread thinking Superdry was a type of incontinence product like Tena, was going to suggest you go to GP. Smile
What is the coat like? Link?

I also thought it was about pads Blush

My husband is 40 this year and I bough thim a Superdry T-shirt for Christmas. He looks fab in it.

Ignore your DH and wear it with pride (I would if their large was just a teensy bit bigger...!).

I also thought it would be about incontinence pads Grin

I was going to say YANBU if you need them it doesn't matter what age you are!

I also thought it was about incontinence pads. I was going to give you my nurse spiel!! Nah your fine with the coat! :)

Coat fine, by all accounts they are good functional garments.
Hoodies and t- shirts no! They are worn by teens who can't afford a coat.
Seeing a teen in a super dry hoody in the pouring rain, getting super wet always reduces me to fits of giggles!

omletta · 21/01/2012 13:06

I certainly hope so -I'm 40 & wear it lots!

ABigGirlDoneItAndRanAway · 21/01/2012 13:07

It's fine, I have a similar Bench coat which I intend to wear well into my thirties and get my money's worth, it was bloody expensive.

omletta · 21/01/2012 13:07

Very nice coat. Suitable for any age.

PaschaAndChips · 21/01/2012 13:08

DH has a very warm Superdry coat. He's 33.

AmethystMoon · 21/01/2012 13:09

Great coat and FWIW I have a superdry T shirt, I'm 36 and have received many compliments on it, it's a gorgeous deep blue colour which is why I bought it.
Who cares what anyone else thinks...I wouldn't think badly of someone else's clothing choice based on their age, and if someone else has the time to be critical of me for mine, then frankly I pity them...too much spare time to think empty thoughts!

pigletmania · 21/01/2012 13:12

Oh dear Fanny and kayno Grin, YANBU at all if you like it why not! I am 35 and have a couple of Superdry cardigans

BumFunHun · 21/01/2012 13:12

Great coat - if it didn't have a Superdry label on it, would your DH have made any comment at all I wonder? I wouldn't have known it was a branded coat just to look at the picture...I saw it and just thought it looked warm, and would go with most casual outfits, and has a hood (always a plus in my book) - if I hadn't seen the price next to the pic, I might have been tempted to buy one :)

Agree with startail re the hoodies and t-shirts though

GoingForGoalWeight · 21/01/2012 13:13

I LOVE your coat! Wear it with pride :)

pigletmania · 21/01/2012 13:14

Thats a lovely coat, might treat myself to one when I have my dc (due any day) and my baby bump has gone.

madaboutmadmen · 21/01/2012 13:14

if it's quite plain and hasn't got 'Superdry' all over it in bright colours, i can't see why not. I was given a hoody for christmas but it's quite plain and a nice colour so i think i get away with at 32. i hope so anyway....

madaboutmadmen · 21/01/2012 13:15

sorry just seen link, looks fine to me, nice and warm!

Alliwantisaroomsomewhere · 21/01/2012 13:18

"I was going to give you my nurse spiel!!" Whorulestheroost, how about you give it anyway Grin. Just in case - Just MAYBE - anyone else may need it!

Well I'm 39 and wear a superdry jacket so YANBU Grin

I have had lots of comments about my lovely jacket from older people and DDs friends think it's quite cool her mum has a superdry jacket (she's 12).

Your Jacket looks lovely and snuggly - good choice Smile

EauDeLaPoisson · 21/01/2012 13:23

Yabvvvvu it's chavtastic

TidyDancer · 21/01/2012 13:33

Haha, I am 28 and have things from Superdry and I still thought this was about adult nappies, etc. Grin

It's not chavtastic at all, ignore EDLP above!

HowAboutAHotCupOfShutTheHellUp · 21/01/2012 13:39

YANBU. And the coat is NOT chavtastic, what an odd thing to say Hmm

Mcnorton · 21/01/2012 13:43

My Mum wears Superdry shirts, she's 61 Grin
