If you're 45+ do you wear tops/jumpers with slogans on the front ?

[knickerbockerglorywithcream]

not necessarily the brand name, but a slogan of any kind.

I am wondering why anyone would want to wear something with any irrelevant slogan written on it e.g. Mint Velvet currently have a jumper with 'The Hamptons' written on the front. There is also one with thew words 'The Studio' in large print across the front. Just why and who wears these ?

Yeah this. ^ IDGAF what anyone thinks of what I wear. I rarely wear slogan t-shirts, but have been known now and again to wear a band T-shirt (been to LOADS of music concerts,) and also a T-shirt of one of my 5 or 6 favourite cult TV shows. (And like several others, I wear Christmas tops! In December (obvs!)

So much snobbery from some people on here. 😆 You can always depend on Mumsnet! And good for @JaneJeffer for posting the pics of Princess Di - wearing slogan T-shirts/tops. Blew the 'only commoners wear them' theory out of the water!😂

I don't care if the slogan is the brand name, so long as I like the design of it and the font. If it's ugly I won't wear it. I wouldn't buy it for the brand name though it would be for the colour and style of it. I wouldn't wear one saying The Hamptons because I've never been there and I don't even live in America. I don't have a studio either or ever go to a place of that name so I wouldn't wear that. If it said Happiness or something that's fine though.

Funnily enough, a close friend of mine really hates leopard print and I did the same as you. Hadn't worn it in over 20 years and recently realised I'd subconsciously been put off by her commenting all that time ago that it's tacky. I've now come to really like it!

@JaneJeffer They are the style sweats I like, quite retro and preppy.

No. Tacky.

You wouldn’t want to wear a sweatshirt with Mickey on it where I come from

I do! I have t-shirts that say things like ‘Once again I have decided to be difficult’ and ‘Turns out these are my monkeys and this is my circus’. I am really enjoying using my clothes in a different sort of way.

Most of my t-shirts have transfers and pictures on them related to places I have been on holiday etc. so I suppose I do wear them.

I'm 59 and literally couldn't give a shit what anyone thinks about my clothes style, or lack of it. I dress for me and for comfort. Anyone who wants to can judge away! 😎

I have a couple of Sezane ones. One says Amuse Bouche, one says Amour Cafe Crème. They make me smile. Also have a Passenger one that says Coastlines and Tall Pines.
The slogans are all things that I like!

No, but I have a few ‘house’ t-shirts that have New York for example, on the front. They are ones I wear in the warm weather if I’m staying in.
Other than that, I can’t carry off slogans. I’m not fun enough and prefer beige or black jumpers.

Over 45? 😉

I'm 45 and I wear them.

I have one, I’m quite particular about what they say and look like. It’s a sweatshirt that I wear with leggings on an indoor day if that helps. I couldn’t understand the Berkeley sweatshirt phase huge logo across the back they look warm though!

Not for me, but to each their own x

Occasionally, and it’s only tshirts.
For some reasons slogans rarely look good on me.

Closest I get is the occasional band t shirt ( work in music) usually with a hoodie over it

My tween wears a lot of logo stuff. I can't bear writing, of any kind, on my clothes.

Not exactly slogans, but I do have some merch T shirts from some great events.

I really want this one!

I have a few, favourites include Smash the Patriarchy and a Mean Girls quote. Also have a Bella Freud one that says Oh Wow and a few yoga-related ones from Eden Ashram. Would never wear anything related to kindness or other "nice" behaviours/feminine traits.

Nope never. Slogans turn good clothes instantly naff

All the time, Women/Female ones, I have loads, band ones, brand names etc.
I'm 47 and passed caring what anyone thinks.

I do, love a Bella Freud jumper and have a few of them that get rolled out.

Couple of band t-shirts/ graphic t-shirts, mostly I tend to sleep in them as I’ve never felt like I could pull off that kind of look out of the house, but increasingly not giving a fuck and wearing them anyway these days. I’m 46.

And a couple of sweatshirts with logos/ brand names/ slogans on - I wear them on the school run under a coat or with my leggings when I go to Pilates and I bought them because I like the feel/ colour and it’s hard to find plain ones, I’m not spending big money or loads of time searching for a sweatshirt honestly, I don’t care enough.

I also have one with an American city on it. It’s a city I lived in, and had to leave to come back to the UK suddenly and in sad circumstances, some friends there sent me the sweatshirt along with a few other local treats ‘so I didn’t forget my time there’ and I wear it all the time, it’s a real comfort thing. I was wearing it before Primark started dedicating approximately a third of its floor space to stuff with American cities/ states emblazoned across it, and I’ll keep doing so as and when I feel like it.

Afraid I'm 'naff' then as wear them all the time and I'm well into my 60s, my taste hasn't changed just because I've got old, still like what I liked when young🤷‍♀️ think my first one was the Levi one which I still see being sold nearly 50 years later!
