"What else shouldn't us old fuckers wear , quite partial to wearing a hoodie but is their an age limit "
I know what oldies shouldn't wear.
The weight of other people's expectations.
If you like converse then wear them, fuck other people's judgement. You want a hoodie then bloody wear one and revel in it. |

"I've been wearing Levi's and converse for over 40 years now, not the same pair obviously  "
I have a pair of Levi’s over 20 years old they are like a glove ( don’t currently fit me mind you) but they are quality |

Was the ex as cool as me and my fashion. Because I think I’m the coolest dude ever. Though if I was truly cool I wouldn’t use that phrase hehe |

I can't imagine you in clothes and I've imagined you in many positions. Funny enough never clothes |

for me designer labels do not equal style. Or make you look cool. For me it's about how a look is put together. you wear the style it doesn't wear you |

Why look at the label? I understand to an extent as my son and daughter wear shoes that cost £500 a pair , and they have a few pairs each. But saying that my daughter will pair them up with top shop jeans and a nice T,, good shoes will always do well. |

I wouldn’t go in topman that’s just me. I don’t always look for particular brands. But mainly the shops I shop in |

True designer labels don’t equate to style. But I can/do pull stuff together. But as I say I also don’t dress for other people. |

me and mr have worn converse's for years not going to stop now also we both wear clothes that we like not what the fashion police think we tend not to fallow the masses... |

I think that when you reach a certain age you know what you like, what feels good and what suits you. I dont care what others think. I'm no fashion victim, I dont wear clothes just because others are wearing them.
Wear what you like, when you like and how you like |

Had to Google what they are. Turns out they're plimsolls (daps) and Basketball boots in old language. And, yes, I wear them (the Plimsolls type), they are great and I don't feel too old for them. I also have skinny jeans. |

"What are Converse?
Glad I’m not the only one who thought this.
The classic American canvas baseball boots. They were cool in the 1950's "
Aah , that’s why I wasn’t familiar with them, I’m just too young for them to be on my radar |

I wear what ever I feel comfortable in, regardless of it it’s deemed to be to young for me.
I even wear short sleeved shirts rather than rolling up the sleeves....controversial, I know.
I do draw the line at skinny jeans though, not just as an age thing but more because I look a right dick in them. |

Just had to call my daughter, the font of all wisdom regarding shoes, to as what Converse shoes were all about.
I am more of a Doc Martins fan though. |

I'm fast approaching 50 and I wear odd converse... I don't consider other people's opinions when I dress, or anything else, as it's nobody elses business. If I like it, I wear/do it... Almost 50 or not |

I did in fact stop wearing Converse at about 50, these days I mainly wear proper shoes, usually from Hotter as they are comfortable from first wearing. I was never much of a hoodie wearer but I gave away the only one I had a few years ago. I did buy a flat cap shortly before my 59th birthday, although I'm still more likely to wear a baseball cap (always the right way round). |

I actually know what they are but have never had the inclination to buy from the range. I have a pair of Vans but that’s as far as I will go |

"Here's a thought..wear whatever you're comfortable in..."
That’s just crazy talk. My personal freedom should be dictated by people I don’t know, and if I did know them I probably wouldn’t like them |

I remember when they were properly called Bumpers rather than a USA brand.
Backwards baseball caps..only to be worn by over 50s if you're on a nudist beach and licking out a pussy or sucking off a cock |

Personally i dont care what people wear, the original quote was someone describing the new front grill the new audi A4 ,Llike someone over 50 wearing converse, and just made me wonder what other people think looks wrong on over 50's.,although saw a man in his 40's 50's wearing a white and black sicksilk track suit and did make me look twice. |

Makes the world more fun to look at people wearing what they want. Imagine if at 50 there was a uniform of a certain look that society wanted you to wear...what would it be black trousers n long sleeves tops with flat shoes...for women...fuck that ...excuse my french |

Tbf, I have only ever bought cheap baseball boots, I buy at least 3 pairs at a time due to mixing my colours, so Converse have never been an option  |

"I find converse uncomfortable and that's damn important when you're 51 '). Currently wearing Novesta in green with a gum sole, similarly kind of thing but wearable..."
Not gonna lie last year went to Benidorm and wore converse ..ended up with a broken toe and lost my toe nail...the mixture of the rubber toe and alcohol and people keep standing on my foot was the blame...oops..I blame Benidorm |

Baseball boots are about the only thing I am comfy in, for any amount of time... And I like how they look |
