Rock band t-shirts
 

At what age do you think people should stop wearing Rock band t-shirts?

I was out today and I saw a chap, obviously late 40s, possibly early 50s, wearing a rock band t-shirt. You know the ones - Def Leppard, Lenyrd Skynard, Meat Loaf etc. Big paunch, scruffy jeans, etc - not a good look!

My son has a few "vintage" tour t-shirts he often wears. He also wears one with his own band's logo and one with that of the AC/DC tribute band he plays lead guitar in. He wears jeans or leather pants, doesn't have a paunch (thank god) and his hair is greying. He can be forced into a suit, occasionally, and has been known to wear a tie. Believe it or not he looks fabulous in a dinner jacket (about once every 5 years). He's 40. :D

The odd thing is, he never looks scruffy or out of place but then he's been a musician for over 20 years and I suppose he has "the look". Will this be acceptable in another 10 years? Heaven only knows - I'll get back to you.

2 words - Rolling Stones.
Pushing 70 and still cool as f....udge

For rock stars its a look that can be kept going until you turn to worm food but for the crazed fan its a look that doesnt get far past the loony bin entrance doors.

Does there have to be an age where you stop wearing certain things? Good on him for wearing what he likes!!

Re: Rock band t-shirts
 

You are only as old as you feel so if wearing you rock pop etc tshirts makes you feel 20 years younger then why not do it.

Re: Rock band t-shirts

There are worse things - mutton dressed as lamb doesn't stop with band T-shirts!

What about white stilettos - preferably of course with black fishnets? Any man could look lousy in those.

Re: Rock band t-shirts
 

At what age do you have to be to know that you can't judge a book by it's cover? He may be dressed like that because he has spent the whole of his life giving selflessly to others, I know of plenty of 'suits' that are sweet on the outside but the meanest bas*ards in private.

Also at what size should a young woman stop showing her midriff because of all the spare tyres hanging over her jeans? I don't know the answer to that one but I do know it's none of my business!

In the mean time I'll carry on wearing jeans and t-shirts until I no longer find them comfortable, then I'll join the belt and braces brigade and start wearing trousers with an 18" zip and a waist band under my armpits.

:hippy:

I hate the fashion police, people should wear exactly what they want.



The only people I like ripping to little sartorial pieces are the fashion police themselves, so you better start planning your wardrobe for the next meet now Gayle.;)
