Why Are Today's British Men So Scruffy?

[Khandro]

Where else but Italy would you see a gent of this age (or any) looking so cool?

i have always admired the Italians for their flair with clothes, much more than the standard Frenchman, as to Brits, many are indeed scruffy, ill kempt individuals,

eek
aargh
should be wearing a coffin - or shroud

let people wear the clothes they like

[davebro]

Is this misandry? British women aren't always the epitome of style!

I'm with Davebro on this one !! Looking cool ?? He looks rather hot to me with a thumping great scarf around his neck, a suit and an overcoat !!
Sorry !

People dress appropriately for what they are doing I suppose. Maybe the gent was on his way to an important meeting.

(What do you call a Scouser in a suit? The accused!)

dress as communication - yeah I would go along with that

( that idea needs no dressing up etc)

I think he looks great - it seems others in the photo are wearing winter coats and oldsters do feel the cold.

Not all British men are scruffy and not all Italians are stylish.

having spent a number of holidays in Italy, i found the men and women very stylish,

is this misandry - - or andy-phobia ?
well it is Khandro's thread....

[Khandro]

The photo was taken very recently in Florence so he is dressed in keeping with the weather.

[emmie]

i think he looks very elegant.

[davebro]

whatever I wear I always seem to look like a sack of spuds!

[emmie]

i have a male friend like that davebro, he wears some expensive suits but never have i seen him look right, as you say a sack of spuds.

Every country has it's smartly dressed gents.
Every country has it's tramps.
And every country has those in between.
Same with women.

True, but it just seems Italy has got a higher proportion of them and Italians don't wear cheap junk clothes made in Asian sweat shops.

You need to stop it with the generalisations, K

While we're on the subject, who's that scruffy looking devil in your avatar, Khandro?
Whenever I've bought expensive (to me) clothes, I tend to feel uncomfortable and look like a sack of ***.
On the other hand, some people can look elegant whatever they wear.
Italians tend to be good looking people, imo.
