While I like nice clothes, I'm not enough of a brand snob to be that discriminatory—that said, there is something about Old Navy that screams "10 year old" to me. It just doesn't seem like a place adults should be buying clothes for themselves. Walmart is better than that.

I saw the hottest DILF at Costco. As I was checking him out he bent over and I saw that he was wearing Hollister underwear. He was still hot as fuck but it seemed really off for a guy who was probably in his early 40s.

I had a first date some years back with a young dude who didn't appreciate the difference between my Dolce & Gabbana collection shirt and D&G. He was wearing a shitty (probably unlicensed) D&G logo T-shirt.
There was no second date.

I used to care about clothes in my 20s. Now that I’m approaching 40 I don’t give a fuck. I had some friends over this summer from NYC and they all looked like they shopped at the same store. Dark colors, short shorts and v neck t-shirts. No labels but definitely a look. One of them made fun of a printed t-shirt I was wearing. I know his bf never fucks him so I can understand the need to vent.

R29, white is appropriate after Easter.
After reading the posts on this thread, I now understand why I did not get lucky this morning. I got up around 7:45 AM, threw on some clothes, got the coffee and the other breakfast stuff ready, took in the Sunday papers, and was out door to a favorite bakery by 8:15. At the store, there was a fellow ahead of me. A fine looking example of Italian-American manhood. I eyeballed him. He eyeballed me back. At first I thought I might be taking home something beside a loaf of Italian bread (twist with seeds) and a pecan danish. But he appeared to look me up and down again, this time letting out a sigh and turning his attention away. What could it be I wondered! Was it my bed head? Perhaps my khakis were pleated, and he prefers flat fronted trousers. I left only with my bread and danish, already regretting a missed connection! Thanks to The Data Lounge, I now know why my would me assignation oh so casually tossed me aside! On my sweatshirt was emblazoned was the logo "Old Navy."
I guess I should cast myself off to the Justin Timberlake thread, another middle-aged man who does not dress age appropriately!

Nothing personal, R35, but I'm middle-aged: if I saw another middle-aged man wearing pleated khakis and a big OLD NAVY logo on his sweatshirt, I would assume 1) he was vision-impaired, 2) on public assistance, or 3) "special."

Thank you, R36 and R45.
R46, I do wear eyeglasses, so, perhaps, your assumption there is correct, but the Old Navy sweatshirt is more fitted than "big." And you failed to critique my bed head! But while I do think I'm "special," I wasn't looking for public assistance at the bakery this morning. I didn't want a handout from that fine specimen of Italian-American manhood I encountered. I just wanted a handjob!!!

Personally for my better clothes I like Ermenegildo Zegna. For my every day working around the house clothes, K Mart or Farm and Fleet. I like Zegna when dressing up because there are generally no logos on the clothes, classic design, and fit me well. I am surprised how well some of the mass market clothing fits me anymore, tho. Lee Straight Leg Slim Fit Jeans do fit me well.

It all depends on what you are comfortable in.
At first, my response would be "I would never judge anyone by their clothing choices" but then I saw posters listing MAGA hats, Confederate tees, etc and yes, shit like that would be a dealbreaker to me.
I wear shorts (weather permitting), print tees and sneakers for the most part. My boyfriend tends to always be in Izod shirts and khakis. We each have our own individual tastes and styles but we blend well together. It helps that we share a lot of the same interests.

I'm beginning to think we're moving away from brands emblazoned on clothes. When I check out the clearance rack at TJ Maxx, Marshall's, Ross, ect, I sometimes see a decent shirt, nice style but some stupid logo stamped or sewn on that looks like shit. The logo is why it hasn't sold. Hopefully, they'll take notice and stop ruining clothing by trying to run an ad campaign on my clothes.

I have my 11 year old niece referring to Old Navy as Old Gravy. I always said Old Navy exists in case the airline loses your luggage and you need something to cover your ass for a day. Disposable clothing. They do, however, sell some decent zip up hoodies that are good for chilly fall evenings. Don't get me started about Hanes and Fruit of the Loom underwear. Yuck. I'm not difficult to please when it comes to clothing choices but you need to be somewhat up to speed on what is appropriate for underwear. There are many other brands out there that are far more comfortable and appealing yet within the same pricing tier.

Fruit of the Loom actually has some of the best-sewn, constructed muscle tees out there in their dual-defense product line. Can't believe they go for under $4 at Walmart. And at the end of summer, they had certain colors on the rack for a dollar.
Also, there's nothing wrong with a pair of old-school tighty-whities if the package is hot.
