I have a friend who is so sensitive to the Sun with her skin she has to wear long sleeves. The problem is people want to just judge other people for doing harmless things which affect no one else. For goodness sake mate mind your own business

I actually work outside or fish or anything in a long sleeve cotton shirt. It holds sweat and evaporates slower, wich causes evaporative cooling. Also keeping the sun away is a good thing.

As we age, we become more susceptible to feeling cold. That's one reason. Some men do it to cover "age spots" on their arms.

May just be what’s on the top of the drawer.

A history with skin cancer . That’s what I wear fishing with a cowboy hat and sunglasses and suns screen

Some people have a medical condition where they feel cold all the time. I know someone who has to wear a winter coat on warm summer days 😥

Maybe their old skin is sensitive to the sun, and older people can feel cold even if it feels warm to you. Also, older women may not feel too good about showing off their old wrinkled skin. I know I don’t, so maybe men can feel that as well.

That’s less of a conundrum for me than the teenage who wears summer shorts and bunny slippers on a winter day.

I always look for forward to the warm weather...shorts, t-shirts/polo, flip flops

You said it “old” their circulation isn’t as good anymore and they’re often cold.

I live in London and my Husband wears long sleeved shirts and in Winter he wears Long Drawers.

Now give us a convincing reason why we older (i.e. >50yo) men must not wear long-sleeved shirts tidily tucked into long trousers.

Why do you need to “get it”? Some people have different tastes from yours, that’s all. I can’t abide men who wear shorts.

Dress code for work possibly

Me neither .

I don’t like it when men take their shirt off in warm weather

They look even worse in shorts and t-shirt.
