How To Dress Well In Your 40s and Beyond

How To Dress Well In Your 40s and Beyond | Men's Style Over 40

News flash: as you get older, you do not automatically become more stylish. Like anything, dressing well takes some effort. And if you're in you're 30s, 40s, 50s, or 60s and you haven't started putting that effort in, it's about time you do! In today's video I'm addressing the following topics:
- How to dress well in your 40s (50s and 60s)
- Style mistakes older guys make
- How to dress appropriately for your age
- Style tips for men over 40
Some of you know that I'm over 40 myself. And although age isn't something I've addressed specifically on the channel before, it's something I definitely think is worth talking about to help those of you out there who are looking for advice.

Easy for you to say, I live in Key west. Locals wear t-shirts, shorts and sandals. If your wearing anything else, you get treated like a tourist. Trust me, you follow those tips here, you stand out, and not in a good way 😂

I'm a 57 yearold grandfather. I find joggers to be comfortable and a reasonable price. With the proper fitting clothes and the right colors and footwear even an older guy like me can look good. My wife says I look hot too.... so really who cares what other people think. Joggers and a tee shirt are good for me and comfortable too. Great video.

I hit 51 this week. I think I’m pretty lucky to have my own sense of style. When I hit 40, there was a shift that automatically told me what I couldn’t wear . It just came naturally to me , but one thing I knew is that I didn’t want to become an old stale piece of toast. You can look awesome at any age , but you have to wear something age appropriate. Nothing is worse than seeing someone my age wearing something geared towards college aged kids. You end up looking older ironically by trying to wear something younger. I like designer shoes. I buy one or two pairs a year. I go for basic black or gray sneakers . I just bought a blue pair of Blue suede Prada sneakers . You don’t have to spend a lot on shoes, but those are what adds a punch to my basic classic American wardrobe. Just throw in European shoes ! I love Camper too depending on what they have each season. Those are affordable and comfortable and not boring. I enjoyed this video! Thank you! My imperative too is a sport coat like a navy or black one. I like to travel in those because planes can be cold and it serves as an extra pillow. Ha ha! It looks better than a regular jacket and flight attendants respect me more for putting in the effort. I know they do.

Great advice and I'd like to add that choosing less items that are of higher quality is better than many items that are subpar. Example, cashmere and silk sweater, high quality wools, etc. While more expensive, if you go toward more classic, they look great, last longer, and will keep you in style. Also, put the time into a fitness routine. Not only will it make you look better, but it will keep you healthier and feel better.

With climate changes, there is also changes in fashion. No one wearing animal based clothes are in fashion. We shouldn't keep being ignorant. There is some fair trade dess shirts availible that also support seamstress, and second hand clothes that can reduce the garment production pollution.

Good advice. I’m 67 and I’m trying to find everyday wear. I’m retired yet when I go out I must be GQ. I’ve started getting high end haircuts, manicures and pedicures just to look fresh. I’m also looking into the minimalist approach for everyday clothing: chinos, tees, and casual walking shoes. Gotten rid of all my old suits. Now I have 3 classic suites for Sunday wear and special occasions. I’m trying to look like the “Man of Leisure” without looking like a pimp...lol

@morganolfursson2560 4 жыл бұрын

I think what matters is not to give a damn what people think and how they perceive you. Wear whatever you like and if you like how you look, then screw everybody else ! It is all about confidence, not clothes. Confidence doesn't come from what you put on your back, but from what you put in your brain. When you have that confidence, you could be a man and dress like Marie Antoinette and still be the most charismatic male in the room or on the street. NOTHING is sexier and more attractive than confidence, ask any woman or any gay man. Whether you are dressed in tailored clothes, shoes and accessories from head to toe, or dressed in GAP, the only thing that people around you will notice and that will matter to them, is your confidence or lack of it. Now all this being said, if you naturally look like a supermodel, you can wear a sack of potato and people will still find you attractive. And vice versa, if you are the doppelganger of Joseph Merrick, you can wear a Bespoke from Kiton or Desmond Merrion, and that won't change a thing. And that's the glitch in the machine. So work on your self confidence using your brain not your wallet !

@DavidJJJ 9 ай бұрын

I disagree that you shouldn't worry about what other people think. There is a healthy amount I believe that is required to be able to dress appropriately. In my teens I didn't care what people thought of what I wore, and that extended to my personal hygiene. Almost everyone judges other people on what they look and smell like and you should too. In my teens my clothing choices were horrific and make me cringe now. At one point I decided to put my sweat pants away and start wearing jeans because my sister had a wedding coming up and I needed something 'nice' (but to be fair it was what a lot of people were wearing normally). This clothing change extended to normal situations and not just the wedding and I looked nice and it immediately make me more confident because I looked better, I then focused on my personal hygiene etc and it all helped, but it started with my new clothing choices.

As a lifelong introvert, I dress for myself and nobody else. I like to look nice so that I feel confident and good about myself. I know a lot of guys whose fashion sense changes like the weather based on what they think will attract women. Another poster said it already, but who the hell cares what a woman thinks about your clothes? Your style and personal appearance should be a very selfish aspect in that you wear whatever you want because YOU want to wear it. If your clothes are what is specifically attracting a certain woman, then you can best believe her materialistic nature will soon come out and you will wish to God you never met her. There are a lot of nice, simple women out there who don’t have the tastes of some trashy Kardashian. My rambling overall point is to dress however it is that does it for you. Maybe it’s just my introversion coming out, but who the hell cares what someone else thinks of you? People are flawed all over the place and are in position to judge you for anything. Don’t overthink your clothing, gents. There’s much more to worry about in life besides that.

I'm 46, 5" 9" tall and weight 185 lbs. I just spent from March 2019 - July 2019 dropping from 30% to 20% body fat. My goal is to get down to 8-10% and then from there never go above 12-13%. As I'm doing this, I can't help but to want to update my clothing style. The last 10 years I dressed for comfort and became more of a homebody. I can dress nice for a date, but I don't have enough stylish clothing options to wear if the date becomes many dates (a.k.a. relationship), so I'm seeking help. This is the first video I watch and I think it's a good start. But if there are any other videos that can give me more specific clothing ideas, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

I think most men dress for comfort but it's SO much easier these days to dress comfortably and look nice. You can get nice-looking jeans, pants and shirts with spandex now. I have some pants I wear to work that have spandex that I'd rather wear than sweatpants on the weekend because they're like a second skin. You're also spot on that the details and grooming make all the difference. A darker wash on your jeans...comfy sneakers that aren't running shoes...no hair sticking out of your nose...instead of wearing a sweatshirt put on a really comfy sweater over a basic t-shirt. These are all little things that together can greatly improve your appearance. Great video, Brian!

Great advice! I am 40 now but going back, I remember I've always wanted to wear a suit. I've worn it in the clubs before in my 20's. I also like the dress vest over a dress shirt look with a tie. There was a time in the 2000's (Justin Timberlake, TI, Neyo, Jay-Z) to name a few, rocked suit and tie, even had a song named one too! Lol In my 40's though, I appreciate more time to myself, being alone in the movies, I just started doing that and I've been liking it. Back in my teens, 20's and 30's, that was a hard no-no! I also appreciate healthier alternatives to junk foods now, working out, and spending my money on the finer things in life.

I think that men of almost any age can pull off untucked shirts, but the shirts need to be designed to be worn untucked. This is why I love UNTUCKIT shirts. They aren’t too long at the bottom and they’re available in many fits for many kinds of bodies.

Tee-shirts, shorts and flip flops are worn by a good majority of men of all ages in Portland, OR for most of the year, even in cold weather. I want to say "please! too much information!" and "why are you content to look like a 16 year old." Dressing is all about comfort, and not caring too much about style. My opinions are frowned upon and I wonder if I should move somewhere else. I started dressing better at 39 and I'm 41 now. I'm new to all of this. I sometimes get the feeling I'm hurting my social standing because I want to dress better. Anyway, I love your content - one of my favorite dudes on the youtube!

You are SPOT ON with this informative vid. Just as accurate as the Rifle man (Chuck Conner). I'm 50. As a younger guy growing up I paid a lot of attention to the older Gents. I took bits and pieces from their style of dress and grooming. Along with taking care of myself physically and mentally. Putting positive thought in one's own appearance ALWAYS pays off! People treat you with more respect because they see that you command respect on site. The right attitude and proper appearance goes along way. It's not about doing what everyone else is doing. It's what makes you feel good about yourself. Proper fit, good quality shoes, a shoe shine, nice jeans that compliment you as well as the shirt. Nice tailored suits and quality over coats and jackets. Bottom Line..... GOOD JOB.... KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

I'm on the wrong side of 40 too. I've changed my style a lot and now it's more classic minimalist. I prefer a V neck t-shirt over a crew neck. I wear a nice watch in an appropriate mm size. I get all my pants and jeans tailored, and I wear my shorts above the knee now. I dont wear sneakers unless the day or activity calls for it. For me it's all about how it fits and achieving a timeless classic style for my middle aged butt. I will probably experiment with trying to pull off some type of street wear, because I love it so much:D

Mr. Boombastic I totally agree. I can wear a suit very well, yet at 62 I could never give up my polos, jeans and khakis, and Apery topsides. They’re who I am! 😂. No one has ever said to me that I should dress like I’m older, or 62. And, I’m not so sure what that is or if I’d even want to.

Our personal grooming is crucial to looking good, whatever you’re wearing. Ear/nose hair, stained teeth, bad breath, dry/scaly skin, bad haircut will still detract from a $5,000 bespoke suit!!!

I haven't gone through many videos of this topic on this channel here however price is the heaviest concern, not even necessarily the know-how. Just a few items that get recommended get me into the thousands very quickly. A more amateur and affordable guide navigating what these brands or stores that offer the better "cuts" are would give us amateurs a more immediate resonance on the topic. I'm glad to be humbled by anyone's info on this which I'm sure I probably missed. Thanks guys.

@thomash.9930 4 жыл бұрын

You should dress based on your job requirements, the weather and what you do at the weekend. If you need to wear a full suit every day you should have about 3-4 and you can wear separates. Navy worsted, mid-grey and a charcoal. Perhaps a flannel too. Look at Suit Supply, Spier MacKay, Boggi, Ring Jacket. You should get a couple of sports coat: brown tweed plain, navy wool/cashmere plain too. Shoes: black cap calf oxford, brown adelaide in calf too, dark brown suede chukkas and maybe a calf derby too. Skoaktiebolaget, Pediwear for instance offer a good selection of quality shoes. I would keep the shirts simple at first: plain white poplin or twill, a blue one too, and perhaps a striped blue. Charles Tyrwhitt and TM Lewin have good offers if you don't want to spend a fortune. Try Kamakura Shirts too, Proper Cloth or Shirtonomy. Ties: black grenadine grossa, silk navy plain, burgundy polka dot or purple in twill silk and perhaps a paisley madder. Try Poszetka, Granqvist Store, Berg & Berg, Marinella or Charvet. A good pair of selvedge jeans would work too, and it would look great with either a white t-shirt or a white oxford shirt. Also get some chinos. The wardrobe should be built over time and again, it needs to be based around your own requirements.

Of course, the most important thing of all, like eveything in life, is to have fun!
