See the equivalent of toast or jigsaw or whatever for women is whats needed for guys. As a middle age woman you can go on the website, have absolutely fuck all idea about style (like me) and provided you have a net income of about 50 grand a year you are sorted (if you don't then you can get yourself on eBay and buy the same brands second hand stuff which is what I mostly do now). But for men? What is the equivalent?
Middle-aged man, I want update image/clothing, where do I start?.

I can tell you that the kabbess rejected most of Freddie's offerings on the grounds that they would be too figure-hugging for me and whilst I have now lost enough weight to fall on the more flattering side of the ideal BMI range, my shape is still a bit like a frog suspended by its neck, which means tight-fitting tops and trousers don't tend to be the best.
She doesn't blame Freddie for this, by the way, but is convinced that I will have answered the initial questionnaire wrong.

What has happened to Doubledown - not seen since the OP of this thread?
Hopefully he is busy shopping?

I don't understand this strange new half-mast-and-no-socks world we're apparently living in.
Don't their shoes get all sweaty? And don't they get cold ankles? And doesn't it look... well... a bit like they bought the wrong size trousers?
(Thank you, by the way. I will have a look through these websites.)
I've just been on the boden website to check for you. Seems you are right.
They all look for younger skinny rich men. But ta anyway. I feel killer b was closer to the mark with his workwear pics earlier but no idea how you would go about actually buying them.

All three of those look a bit forbidding and not very easy to navigate for beginners (compared to boden etc) .
I mean..

Is that for reals or a joke shot? Because I don't understand it if it's a joke.
He is a style icon tbfYou start a thread and wait for killer b to bring the links.

I think it's 'knowing', as in not a joke but not earnest either. (its from the Folk shop's front page)

Well if you want the male equivalent of Boden bimble then it's probably something like Men's Clothing : Suiting, Shoes & Shirts | J.Crew.
Wow, I do really like that and that's rare. But they seem to have put their decimal point in the wrong place.
God that stuff is terrible. Kind of like pastel for men who have lawns and play polo

exactly. It's really not that easy for men, in this particular regard.
The injustice that you are not a millionaire really strikes you when you see clothes like that. Def get the maxx ones! Then post pic!
the only issue was that the zip was broken and they were still 30 quid. But fixing a zip is a £10 job so they're probably still worth it... I'll have another look at them this weekend.

OK two more sites with pricey but lovely menswear for Friday inspiration:
Trunk | Clothing
No Man Walks Alone | No Man Walks Alone (US site)
