Only wear tracksuit bottoms when running in colder weather. A man should never wear tracksuit bottoms in public beyond that, unless from West Belfast.

I wear trousers and shirt at all times. After work I'd just remove the tie and keep the rest on. I often go to bed with trousers and shirt on but would never wear them the next day.

When I say trousers I mean chinos or good black ones.

On nights out I'd wear trousers and a shirt but I'd leave the shirt hanging out to give the vibe of relaxation. Usually a short-sleeved shirt but if long-sleeved I'd roll the sleeves up about 5 inches.

On Saturdays jeans are acceptable and a plain polo shirt with a small logo or a good jumper.
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

Shorts and a polo shirt from April to October, no matter what it's doing outside.

Never wore tracksuit bottoms in my life until the past year, but I would now acknowledge they're more comfy for my winter constitutional than jeans or trousers.

Replica shirts, no need for anyone to wear those. There are more adult ways of signalling your tribe to everyone.

Turning 37 and most of the time I'm wearing a replica football jersey. Am I a weirdo?

I collect them. All types. Only time I'd wear one is during 5-a-side and can pretend to be Butragueño, Schillaci, Platini or Charlie Nicholas.

Is there a  male cosmetic surgery/sunbeds/botox etc thread?

Maybe  there's a few been to Turkey for a new set of gnashers?

Would be interesting to hear  the amount of boyos  who are into that kind of stuff

Permitted during 5 a side - synthetic material isn't for the streets.

I turned 63 yesterday and I wear black adidas track bottoms every day all day. I mostly wear polo shirts or round neck t-shirts. The wife buys me the track bottoms and the daughter buys me trendy trainers. If it doesn't bother them I'll stick with it. Been working from home for five years now so rarely need to dress up unless I'm going out for the night and then it's smart casual.

Female perspective here on the Turkey hair, I know for men losing their hair is a big deal but actually I find it attractive and sexy (lucky for my husband!). There's something about Turkey hair that just doesn't look natural, it looks like brushed out pubic hair or something. On the other hand if it makes you happy go for it - how we feel about our appearance impacts our mental health too.
Replica football jerseys should only ever be worn to a match of said team.
Exercise gear(especially tracksuits) should only be worn for exercise purposes or around the house.
It's hard for men, there's not a lot of choice out there when it comes to clothes or for some it can be very bewildering too.

With the amount of gen z gimps running about with their burst fades, nose piercings and RUC moustaches kitted out like I was circa 1995, or the smicks who wear their North Face shorts in all weathers, I have embraced the whole not caring what I wear or what others think of what I wear approach. I think I stopped following fashion trends about ten years ago. I now opt for good-fitting, long-lasting comfortable clothes. Hoodies, tracksuit bottoms, GAA club gear, comfortable trainers. Chinos and shirts for work. Nicer chinos and shirts for going out.

Didn't realise my wife was posting on here!

Hair was thinning mid 20's, didn't give it a second thought, week before I was married I had my last visit to the barbers, a really neat short cut and there after I cut my own hair, she was horrified because the wedding and all but nah, it had to go, never looked back.

Young ones today have to deal with social media and that must be the the main factor for the Turkey teeth/hair boom. the pressure to look better, not that I'm on dating sites the must common one now is looking for a man 6 foot minimum!

Men are more and more having to live up to the social demands than woman have had to deal with for hundred of years more, we don't seem to be developing confident people who are happy in their own skiN.

That said rep tops need to be used for going to the game be it club or county, and soccer tops need to be put in the bin if you are over 18 ;) 

I'd be single nowadays, 5'6, bald and no shinny teeth! be great  ;D  be a millionaire now
