As you said in the ending segment shoes make all the difference. Elevating one’s shoe game and keeping the same wardrobe will get a ton of compliments. That’s how I started my style conversion a few years back. Right away people made compliments.

Absolutely true!

@rickybobby5950 2 ай бұрын

I recently replaced all of my shoes and got a pair of scaled up sneakers in black with white lowers with touches of brown as well as a pair of nicer ones in similar colors and a pair of zipper engineer boots in black to round out the collection. Even with outfits I already had they just look better with a fresh pair of shoes.

Great Advice. Over the last month I’ve found four great pieces of footwear from Allen Edmonds. They’re one of the few companies that makes my size. So I found a Chukka boot, a penny loafer, and three great sneakers. Right around $2000.00 total. I’ve never found decent fashionable sneakers until I ordered these. So your advice on shoes is perfect. Collars yes, I’ve also bought a bunch of new Ralph Lauren Polos because the custom slim fits me great, unlike any other polo I’ve ever found. We disagree about Topsiders, no big deal. I found three Sperry Topsiders in my size and ordered them. They are always going to be classic, so in or out of style I don’t think about that.

For me the easiest thing to start dressing better was your advice to get better fitting clothing. Older guys like me gravitate to baggy shorts, shirts and jeans just for the comfort but with today’s blends you can wear slimmer fitting clothing that’s still very comfortable and looks so much better. I’m 6’2” so I’m not sure if people really notice my shoes unless they’re really bad.

I'm glad you take the time to model what you're talking about. The visuals really do help. Sort of reenforces my thoughts on when I shop for clothes. I used to look at a shirt or pants on the rack and think I wouldn't like it on me (because of a pattern or cut or whatever). Then once I didn't think I would like, then I really liked it. So it makes sense to model them for yourself. So I appreciate the effort you made to show us what you're talking about. Can you do underwear and swimwear next? 😉

Well John, my favorite fashion influencer, you have gone and done it again. I'm all for the sandwich method. I've been doing it for many many years.

Great tips across the board, well put together. I have been incorporating contrast for years. I began using it due to living with red-green color weakness that makes it hard to differentiate between certain colors. I know what I have and I know what work together, but when the value of the tones are similar, to me, they blend in and to me that looks bland. This is especially true with light shades like pastels. I also mix warm and cool tones to add contrast at times.

Even though I have a lot of t-shirts, I much prefer to wear button down shirts the largest majority of the time. This 63 YO is working on getting my physic back. I will be the first to admit that my style needs improved. Lately I have found myself wearing sneakers all the time, including wearing black sneakers to places like church and the office. Two reasons I wear sneakers to the office... 1) they are comfortable, and 2) I like to take brisk walks around through the office building between meetings to get my exercise. I know... I need to do better.

You offer simple, practical, easy to understand tips and ideas that any guy can apply to their own style and wardrobe. You're right about the shoes - a very easy way to elevate the look of any outfit and one's overall look. And keep them clean and polished and match the belt with the shoes (this annoys me to see men with mismatched shoes and belts - or no belt). I think this is true with accessories in general - higher quality shoes, belts, hats, ties, scarves, gloves and watches can really polish your look and freshen your style.

Never cared for the "bare neck" look, which is why I believe that t-shirts, a henley, or crewneck sweaters shouldn't be worn alone. Even in hot weather, I prefer a solid color polo, typically white, light blue, light green, etc. As for the collars, I can wear a less expensive shirt and make it look good by simply ironing it, using a little spray starch on the collar. (Iron the underside of the collar to avoid any discoloration.) Shoes?...always clean, with a little shine. Women notice, and this provides a momentary distraction from my "retired" gut. 😉✌❤ Thank you John!

Maybe do a show about colour matching clothes to your complexion? I noticed that you look way better with blue shirt than brown (no offence intended). My own skin tone looks best with blues, greys, taupe, and bad with yellow (also green as a derivative of yellow) and browns.

Looking good in those combinations!! Just an issue I had. I have different pairs of shoes & sneakers. Problem was when getting my pants hemmed, I wore one pair of shoes but then I changed up by wearing another pair and the length was off. Not by much. What do you usually do? Hem your pants to specific shoes or if you know you will wear chinos with sneakers, you hem to the sneakers you will wear or just say screw it-the hem is slightly off? Love to hear. Maybe discuss in a video!! Thanks again for your advice!

Shoes make a huge difference in your outfit. Good shoes or bad, it’s the one piece of item that makes you stand out from the crowd. In hot weather, sometimes you just can’t get away from a t-shirt. Anything with a collar traps heat and you’ll become sweaty and quite uncomfortable.

John you went “yard” once again. I’m late 60’s and retired. But I don’t want to “look” retired if you get my drift. I think you call it “don’t dress like you are giving up on life”.

Hey John, I hope you're doing well my friend! So, I've been doing the contrasting top & bottom thing forever (sometimes a sandwich, sometimes a more uh, "half sandwich"?). I've always thought that worked well for me, but I recently heard one of the other style KZfaqrs say that the top to bottom contrast makes a guy look a little shorter because it sort of cuts him in half visually. I'm 5'7"... I'm not big on the idea of looking much shorter that that! What are your thoughts?

@40OverFashion 2 ай бұрын

Yeah, I suppose I get that, so my response would be to go with a soft contrast, or something monochrome. Also remember, you are who you are, and you can’t change your height. People can tell how tall you are, or how short you are, so if you like wearing a bold contrast, then go for it!

I've done this too forever but never put a name to it. One point I would add about it is this: doing this will draw attention to your footwear because it will always contrast with your trousers. This is why, personally, I don't use this technique much anymore. Wearing trousers and shoes in very similar tones lengthenes my leg line, which I like because I'm on the shorter side. So it's a nice technique, but you need to know why and how to use it.

Nice outfits for guys who don't WORK for a living! If you're a remote worker or have a nice cushy white collar overpaid desk job, then great! Otherwise, these are all overpriced overdressed outfits that will get damaged and have to be replaced OFTEN, as they're not made to take an actual work environment. Unless of course, you have SO much money and TOO much time to change clothes and wear two or three outfits a DAY! Which seems to be the "advice" you so often give seems to either imply or are only for those males who have nothing better to do and can afford to have others do the grunt work of life, while you stay in pristine outfits and styles.
