what's your day to day 'look' in terms of image/clothing ?

Post by weeksy »

If someone was to meet you, what would their impression be of you.

Are you a stereotypical biker, a goth, grunge, yoof, middle aged manager or..... well...what.

Me, i'm generally a shorts and sweatshirt/tshirt kind of guy... short hair, occasional glasses, bit over my ideal weight...

I guess it's probably a Covid layabout kind of look, but i was doing it pre-covid and it'll be the same after too.

Amuses me a bit when i see people on team meetings still doing shirt and tie thing.. i wonder to myself "should i be making more of an effort"

Today I'm wearing a pair or Armani trousers and a Gant shirt, along with my Hugo Boss Glasses... and I still look like a scruffy oik.

Most of my work stuff is either Gant or Polo, but my underpants are George at ASDA.

My clothing of choice is jeans and t shirt, apparently I'm a wide dude with graveyard blonde hair (grey).

On the island? Boots(unpolished), cargo trousers(full length), tee shirt, fleece, neck tube, buff type head covering, boiler suit. I've looked like this for about 30 years, only the neck tube is a recent addition.

Off island, the same but tidier, probably a proper hat* and the boiler suit is less likely. I did wear a boiler suit to a funeral once. The boiler suit was black, the funeral was in the winter in some woodlands and i didn't want to get mud on my proper suit as I was going to the memorial service later.


*The current hat cost more than everything else I'm likely to be wearing added together. It's a rollable water resistant wide brim Trilby from Bates. 'Tis lush and made from beaver fur**

Bad day: 'Tramp'
Good day: 'Ageing rocker'

None of the looks I was particularly aiming for tbh.

I've also been called 'zombie jesus'.

middle aged software developer just about covers it.

(Jeans, t-shirt/short sleeve shirt, hoodie or cardie).

I do have a penchant for Hawaiian shirts though and will wear them all summer.

During my travelling year I also got into the habit of wearing long shorts more often than not.


I very likely spend about 4 times the money on bike clothing than I do on normal clothing: eg, I'm currently eyeing up a pair of Halvarssons Macan jeans, for about £200-ish, but I buy £50 jeans (Levis - they fit me).

I never wear trainers.

Unless I'm on the cross trainer. I don't think my own pair have ever been outside.

Proper shoes at work and Chelsea boots in my own time. I've got an old pair of battered Toms for taking the bins out or nipping into the garage.

I never wear any 'leisure' wear. I'm not sure I own a pair of tracky bottoms. Jeans and a Polo shirt is my usual home attire, tho in summer I do tend to wear hippy pants a lot.

I look like a truck driver. Boots, jeans or cargos, checked shirt or Scania V8 hoodie.

Hair went grey when I started driving buses, so it looks like a wino's hair

I think I've probably worn Levis jeans of various natures every day for the last year except for maybe 10 occasions.

Generally with a t shirt.

For the office I do tend to wear custom MTM shirts and trousers. Once you've experienced how much better they fit it's hard to go back!

T-shirt and cargo shorts every day. Maybe a fleece in winter. Just wore trainers on the dog walk, but sandals otherwise and barefoot around the house.

Only time I wear jeans is for short bike journeys.

Joe Browns jeans, T shirt and hoodie. If we go out it’s jeans with a lairy shirt and a jacket. Boots of various sorts.
Work, uniform. Polo shirt, cargo trousers, boots, fleece, shiny coat.
Occasional shorts wearer, not really keen on them. Barefoot around the house, flip flops to go to the bin, sit outside etc.

Jeans or hiking trousers. Hiking trousers allow me to do loads without having to change and have pockets galore.

T-shirt. Jumper. Hat for the balding head.

Repeat the next day.
