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?

Don't we all !

Superdry would be ok. All the men who work with my older brother in the IT department wear it and they are well old.

I am 40 btw.

Joules are Tory wife?

Shit. I liked Joules.

I'm 6 mths off 40 and my dh who is older has just splurged in Superdry this afternoon ahead of our hol! Glad it's ok to wear their stuff, Im just not into boden or joules...

Animal, although more hoodies than sweat shirts. Several at our school gate and we aren't young.

I have a sol col hoodie with words which I'm sure is way too young, but it was cheap and it goes with everything.

Fat face

Ooh yes I like Fat Face too.

That's not in any way associated with the Tories is it?

white stuff? white company?

I think Fat Face is for Lefties. It must be. DH has several Fat Face sweatshirts and Polo shirts. All identical.

And 14yo DS refuses to go near the shop, so it must be aimed at....me.

This is it!

But they also have some really nice cable knit jumpers!!!

I quite fancy this. I'd fit right in when going up to the Co Op in Zombieville.

Howies

How do you know I go to the Co Op in Zombieville on a Saturday morning, Remus?

Howies are nice, but a little earnest. I am trying to be slightly hip here. It's bad enough that I will be carrying home the Saturday Guardian.

I like some of the Gilly Hicks stuff. I was originally put off by the hollister style darkness and über pretty girls, but then I thought 'fuck it' if it looks nice and I like it and it makes me feel good I don't care.

So I now have a sweater and lounge pants from there

I'll see you in there tomorrow morning. You will know me by a) my scowl, b) The Observer and c) the punnet of blueberries.

I actually really like the one I posted.

This?

Ooh I really like this but it's stupidly expensive.

I really like that cos top too....never seen their stuff before, but it's lush. I'm not sure the top would look as good on me as the mode, as I'm curvier (You'll recongise me as the one buying lots of croisants. And no, I don't have lots of guests staying)

I like Joules. I have a hooded navy sweatshirt with velvety red (toggles? Is that what you call the hood ties?) Anyway, it's plain but very nice.

:) Let's just hope we both make it past the Zombies.

FC have a lot of nice ones too.

Next

Oh I think Fat Face is aimed at mum's, nice mutated colours, reasonable quality, sensible sizing and very good quality kids clothes to tempt you to shop for the children too!
(DD2 has a lovely gillet andante hung striped top of their's)

That was supposed to say and matching striped top, I've no idea what happened
