What I'm Considering for Greg: UPDATED!

Angie

Fashion Stylist

Hubs Greg needs a THIN hoodie (lightweight), new dressy cashmere knitwear, a few more work shirts, another pair of jeans, and possibly a sweatshirt and some fun sneakers.

Greg's go-to brand is G-Star most of the time, but he also does well with these brands - and has discovered some very handy shirts at the right length and fit at UNTUCKIT. Highly recommend!

Greg's happy colours are a little different to mine

Keep you posted!

Oooh, thanks for drawing my attention to these. My DH could use a new hoodie, too. He has a Zella one that is several years old now, and it's his "good" hoodie, the nicer-looking one that he owns. Ha!

My hubs Scott loves Untuckit shirts, I will have to check those out. Van Heusen used to make a really nice version of them but since they closed their outlet stores they’re getting hard to find.

Greg’s happy colors are very different from yours! Opposites attract.

Nice! Jamie is hard to shop for because he is so tall, and especially long in the body. Most shirts off the rack are too short for him, especially sleeve length. For anyone like him who needs that length in tailored pieces, he loves Proper Cloth!

I am so glad you posted this! My hubs needs some new items. I was actually going to ask you for recommendations. Thanks!

Sharan, HAH! Hubs is in good hands with you shopping for him

Karie, UNTUCKIT has a store in Seattle. Very handy!

Janet, take Jamie to UNTUCKIT. I think he'll find a shirt that fits well.

ZoeyGirl, let me know if I can help. Cole Haan mens footwear ROCKS. Greg has versions of some of these and he loves them. He has three pairs of Cole Haan boots, that he lives in! Greg has a higher volume foot too.

ZoeyGirl, the mens NAS assortment is small but ALWAYS worth a thorough look! Quality is good.

These are the BEST no-show socks that Greg has worn. He has many pairs!

Angie - such great things for Greg to try! I lemminged the raincoat he got at a previous NAS for my DH. I like those Zella hoodies. May have to get one to replace an old much loved gap hoodie with a quilted lining. So hard to find polished sport wear! Will be following your report!

I like your choices for Greg. Should an over 75 wear a hoodie? A graphic tee?

Angie

Fashion Stylist

Joy, an over 75 year old can wear whatever makes them feel comfy and fab

My late Dad was 89 and didn't wear hoodies and tees. He was simply dressier and stuck to shirts and sweaters with jeans and ECCO lace-ups. He never wore sporty items. Just not his style.

My late FIL was 82 and LOVED wearing sporty clothing! He wore graphic tees, hoodies, jeans, shorts, and sneakers daily. His style. Rocked it!

Joy

Veteran

Thank you, Angie I wish DH would shop for what he wants. I bring home piles for him to try on, but he keeps it all. Most days I winter he wears dark jeans with a long sleeved tee in summer he wears cargo shorts and a tee or polo shirt with a collar, sometimes a Hawaii shirt.

It sounds like Greg is on the hunt for some key wardrobe pieces. If he's looking for a lightweight hoodie, brands like G-Star and UNTUCKIT offer great options to explore.

For dressy cashmere knitwear, he might want to check out brands like J.Crew or Everlane for high-quality options. When it comes to work shirts, UNTUCKIT might have some great finds in terms of length and fit.

As for jeans, brands like Levi's or AG Jeans could be worth considering. And for a sweatshirt and fun sneakers, Greg might find cool options from brands like Nike or Adidas.

It's great that he has some go-to brands, but exploring others can offer fresh styles and options. Keep us posted on Greg's finds and his happy color choices.

The difference to Greg's " happy colours " and your's is his can't be seen from outer space, O Bright Cox.

Cee, exactly! My style is very practical

adamjameswest, most of Greg's wardrobe is G-Star, actually! We know the other brands you're suggesting very well! We aren't finding what we want though. The hoodie hole in his wardrobe needs to be thin, come up high on the neck, and have a front zipper. Zella is what I am banking on for now. As for Nike and Adidas - he has those convered

Joy, I'm not sure I understand, but would like to! DH does or doesn't wear what you buy for him?

I like the sneakers. I wonder how my brother would feel about them.

Joy

Veteran

He does wear it and acts like he doesn’t care what he wears. I have not bought anything too casual for him like sweats or many tees. He seems to prefer polo shirts. I think he feels the Hawaiian shirts are a costume. I wish he would dress everyday in sweaters in winter. He runs warm.

Joy

Veteran

I insist that he shop for comfortable footwear. He usually gets Crocs or sandals. And wears them out. The shoes I have bought him he never wears.. loafers or something a bit dressier.

Joy, what does hubs wear on his feet in Winter?

Those hoodies look great, Angie.
Do you think they would fit a tall size or would they be too short in length and sleeves?

Angie

Not sure about a long torso Joyce, but Greg has long arms and broad shoulders, and there is plenty of sleeve length!

Joyce, I can't keep the hoodies off Greg at this point.....

Joyce B

Angie, I will check one out to see if it works, now I am even more interested He normally wears medium tall, should I order in medium or in large?
From the picture of the model I am thinking it may be a bit short in the torso length but I will take a look at it.

Angie

Try a large!
