@mistajam: Men’s fashion over 40 question: long sleeves under a short-sleeved knitted polo. Acceptable or absolutely not? Because I chose to wear it, I don’t think it’s hard to see which camp I’m in. Today’s Carpark Catwalk started with this navy blue knitted polo from Original Penguin. I could have worn it on its own but, cold. So I put a white Uniqlo AIRism long-sleeve tee underneath and actually really like what it does to the shape. Blue body, bright white sleeves underneath. Apparently the fashionistas call this sort of thing “transitional dressing”. I call it November. Then I’ve gone with brown Uniqlo C barrel-leg trousers because my ongoing campaign to upset men who still believe trousers should cling lovingly to their calves continues. Lads, they look like leggings. Leave ’em in 2010. And because it’s boot season, I pulled out my classic tan Timberlands. Apparently they’re back out of fashion this season. That’s unfortunate because this pair has survived 10 winters and still looks new, so they’re going nowhere. Blue knitted polo. White long sleeves. Big brown trousers. Timbs. Plenty there for somebody to tell me I’ve got dressed incorrectly. Crack on. I’m 43 and one of the things I’m enjoying about figuring out my style now is realising I don’t need every outfit to be universally approved. So let’s have the ruling. Long sleeves under a short-sleeved knitted polo. YES or absolutely not? #MensFashionOver40 #MensStyleOver40 #MensOutfits #MatureMensStyle #CarparkCatwalk
