Casanova style

Face it – if you have slid off the moral highground far enough to cheat, you may as well look damn good while doing it.

Many stereotypical images waft into focus when we think of older gentlemen conducting adulterous affairs with a female of the younger variety – usually a lecherous, slimy waste of space. Not always so. Cheaters can be suave, even downright debonair. 

However if you don’t want to arouse too much interest in any new attire you may have to match with your new found swagger around town. Depending on the age of the younger lady, and the age of the cheating dawg, your new styles can vary substantially.

If the lady in question is aged between 18-25 then desert boots (€64 from Next), blue jeans coupled with a dark blazer (Penneys €45) and grey t-shirt (Fat Face at €22) may go some way towards her friends accepting your cheating ways. Although not likely.

If the cheatee is aged between 25 and late 30s then a crisp cotton shirt (€34) along some dark chinos (€34), stylish knit blazer (€64, all from Next) and your flashy sports car (you do have a flashy sports car, right?) should be enough to keep her wandering eye entertained enough as you speed off to the nearest budget hotel.

Or at the end of the day you could direct a big budget movie and cast a hot 22 year old and have the affair that way. Your call.
