What "leisure wear" brands for someone over 40? I would look silly in Jack Wills

[LynetteScavo]

Is it possible to wear good quality sweatshirts without looking like you've borrowed your DCs clothes?

Gap?

Do not wear Jack Willies if you are over 14!!

I have that in grey and coral.

My dd reckons she is too old now for JW and she is 16. It seems to be mostly 12-15 year olds that wear it here. I think you are better off wearing tops without logos on them if you don't want to look like your daughter.

i have a collection of american apparel sweatshirts, they look good.

Try Hush

i dont see the point for sweatshirts

i live in them lady mitford. am a lover of 80s utility clothing though. i get excited when i see sweatshirts.

LadyMilfordHaven jumpers fall apart to quickly. Sweatshirts are really comfy, and warm and last forever. Anything knitted ends up falling apart.

I have a zillion gap hoodies, because they last forever, but I want a new sweatshirt.

I am very tempted to get a couple of those Merino v-necks, SundaySimmons but they aren't sweatshirts.

you can't really meet american apparel for basics

Another vote for Gap and American Apparel. Also, Uniqlo sometimes have nice stuff, particularly in Autumn/Winter.

lynette

just no

some people just can't carry off the plain utilitarian look

they should stick to the failsafe boden

God not beige sweatshirts. Are you ready to give up and die?????????????????

Some bits from Joules , nice stripey sweatshirts are good for classic leisure wear and next do casual tops and dare I say it on here but the new A.W. range at Marks looks good some nice casual jumpers when I was in this week but just not the per uno range .

I need to achieve the just got out of bed look, but look like I look really good when I get out of bed...I will have put touche eclet under my eyes, and thrown on a navy (not beige!) sweatshirt...just in case someone sees me popping to the shop early on a Saturday morning.

If I put on a jumper, it would then look like I was supposed to be ready for the day.

There's an age when artfully disheveled just likes er.. Disheveled.

Toast has some nice sweatshirts, joules are a bit too Tory wife.

Uniqlo

Yes, but I'm not there quite yet, LadyMilfordHaven.
I think the uniqlo is my best bet (I like their prices).

How about Abercrombie? What kind of person wears their clothes?

Teenagers , again!

Oh.

But inside I still feel like a teenager!

Sweaty Betty sometimes do really gorgeous sweatshirts, and I say that as someone who thinks sweatshirts are for sweating in, i.e. during exercise.

Superdry? Types nervously waiting to be told far too old, while sitting here in one of their hoodies....
