Surely it's his choice what to wear? Do peoples oh really try and dress them?

Also various clothes come with holes in them. Aren't ripped jeans a thing?

I'm a 41 year old Converse wearing female, so I think you're beung unreasonable...

PovertyPain · 29/07/2017 15:22

No one should wear Converse. Over priced gutties.

runs away from thread

Both Dh and I wear converse and converse style shoes and we are both 42. I see more adults than teenagers wear them tbh.
They are perfect for when it is too warm for boots and too cold for sandals.

GrumpyOldBag · 29/07/2017 15:27

I'm 53 and I have 5 different pairs of Converse.

AIBU?

Leave him be. Is it hitting you or cheating on you? If not, let him wear what he wants.

Arealhumanbeing · 29/07/2017 15:27

Converse work on anyone at any age. Much like neon pink lipstick.

GrumpyOldBag · 29/07/2017 15:28

Shit. Just realised it's a zombie thread. OP's DH will be almost as old as me now!

Dragonglass · 29/07/2017 15:28

Damn! Just noticed the date on the OP.

Zombie post everyone

Aeroflotgirl · 29/07/2017 15:32

Yabvu, he can wear what he wants.

Decsbetterhalf · 29/07/2017 15:37

Yabu! My Dad does and he's 74

beebee7 · 29/07/2017 15:39

ZOMBIE THREAD. Shock

42 is not too old to wear converse by the way.

Andrewofgg · 29/07/2017 15:51

Thank you Fanjo and suddenly I don't want to see a picture!

I'm 44 and wear converse high tops and have doc martins and am considered a respectable grown up Smile

couchparsnip · 29/07/2017 16:53

YABU I'm 45 and still wear them. They are comfy and look good with jeans.

couchparsnip · 29/07/2017 16:54

Bugger. Zombie thread. Sorry

Sparklingbrook · 29/07/2017 16:54

No wonder AIBU is like it is. Most people don't RTFT. Just the OP then reply.

I always thought the song said "in your hair"
