I mean, you just look older than 30. There's no other logical reason.

Nothing wrong with looking my age though ! :slayer:

So in light of my quest to look less like an extra from Monarch of the Glen, I've been purchasing things that people tell me are age appropriate.

On the missus' insistence I recently purchased two non-collared shirts from H&M (something I didn't own except as sleepwear) and a hooded sweatshirt from the same, which I'm told are age appropriate clothes. 

I know this really belongs in SW&D but I don't understand anything they talk about, so I wanted to get opinions on whether these fit, and whether I look like the first semester philosophy major hippie I feel like when I put the hoodie on, or whether I should actually keep the monstrosity.

Thanks for the input.


I would size up on the henley (mostly because it is a bit short in arms and body) unless the next size is huge on you, although you can get away with the size you have.

I don't care for hoodies much (neither does SWD for what it is worth), but they are okay as beater items to throw on at the beach or by a campfire. It probably cost $10 so why not keep it for such situations. GDL is right about better alternatives than the hoodie generally.

The hemmed jeans make me wince, but I understand that is accepted around these parts and you didn't ask about that anyway.

lol @ crocs.

Hey Clapeyron, how old are you, by the way? Based on your recent fit pic I would have said 20 to 25. But you sound older (in a positive way, no ****).
