#40overfashion - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I think this is a good "basics" list. I'm having to recreate a wardrobe, basically from scratch, because I lost significant weight the last two years and nothing fits now. This is a great place to start for me.
Thanks for watching and commenting David! Congratulations on the weight loss!
Awesome and Great news David Congratulations Sir.
@ David Dove. Now that you have got your weight to were you want it too be, you can look forward to wearing new clothes that will gain you many unexpected, but genuine, compliments. A change in physical appearance is not always as noticeable in a reflection in a bathroom mirror as it is to strangers. Enjoy the shopping. Phil.
congrats on getting in shape
For pants just tailored them... I lost 25 kg in quarantine and tailored them all
Hi John.. I might add an overcoat, well fitted in camel or charcoal colour. Very versatile to dress up dress down and adds up style and finesse..even to casual outfits
Definitely going to have to get one of those
Yes, absolutely!
Great video! I’m in the middle of tossing most of my wardrobe and I’ll be following your instructions. I’m wondering if you’ve produced a video for spring/summer basics. I’d really like to see that. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
This was a very good list to build a wardrobe foundation from, John. And very good color suggestions.
My additions would be:
- Two belts, dark brown and black with moderate buckles. You can also add a burgundy or tan belt depending on your shoes.
- Pocket squares can add some extra to your outfit without wearing a tie. A plain white and a patterned burgundy goes a long way.
- A navy overcoat, depending on where you live. It's a bit early right now, but where I live I'll need transition pieces all the way to a parka.
Thank you!
@@40OverFashion Hi....l have got almost everything you have mentioned in the video....except a grey chino... l think l must have one very shortly...Thank u so much....!
Great list, can't even think of something to add. Maybe I just need more coffee. Thanks!
Thanks John, great advice on basics! I've had a few misses in the past but your input has been invaluable in helping me pull it all together. Very much appreciated.
Glad to help Will! Thanks for watching!
Brogue boots have always been a favourite of mine, I’m currently rocking a pair of Grenson ‘Fred’ in Tan. Top quality craftsmanship.
I've got their Grenson Sharp version. Great boots!
Never been very keen on bomber jackets. I would say a good field jacket is very versatile.
Great video advice! Button that pocket button (LOL).
awesome videos! so much info! reminds me of reading GQ as a young man but so much better. im 61 now but can still pull these combo's without looking awful thanks!
New technology on the way we create fabrics and clothing nowadays makes a huge difference. From cotton underwear to a more wicking breathable fabrics, and I understand about the tight sock bands, especially on hot weather, become itchy at times, and form that permanent ring mark around your calves & shins. I love my waxed jackets & coats, those are my go-to jackets for the Chicago fall & winter. Thank you for the awesome vid!
I'm pleased to say I have pretty much everything you mentioned, my only additions would be
my collection of double monk straps to change up my footwear, great video!
Thank you!
Western boots with jeans and a blazer,or with jeans and nice shirt or sweater as long as the jeans fit over the boots,,great video John you always have great advice
I understand where you’re coming from regarding T-shirts….but I’ve become a believer in the black “fashion” T-shirt. Slightly fitted, doesn’t hang beyond the belt line. Super versatile - I have a drawer full of them now!
John I just wanted to commend You on a very great and informative Men's Wardrobe Basic list I too will agree with You on all of your points, ironically I have my oldest Nephew who just tuned 18 almost Two months ago start dressing like this when He was 15 and come to find out He loves dressing more like a mature Man than His own age group. It started out with Shirts, Pants, Ties then onto Sweaters (all types), Suits and my favorite Shoes (Every Style that I own). With this being said I really appreciate that you're informing the masses a basic Men's Wardrobe if they haven't started one as of yet....Keep providing EXCELLENT CONTENT!!!
Thank you Walter! Much appreciated!
StraightUp socks are essential to my basic wardrobe, absolutely love them!
Me too Eddie! Thanks for commenting!
All these are great and work in most situations. I will wear a T shirt with a bomber jacket or a shirt jacket or sport coat. Great advice as always!!
Thank you!
I no longer wear a suit, unless it's specifically called upon. I get by with a dark blue blazer, that I wear with dark jeans, a button down shirt and brown brogues as my smart casual attire, (Dark Grey or Brown Tweed Sports Jacket in the colder season) If I need a suit I throw in a pair of dark blue GAP Chino's and add a tie. On first inspection looks like a smart formal suit but it doesn't feel like I'm wearing a suit, it feels like I'm wearing a pair of jeans with my casual Navy Blazer. I don't feel stuffy or over-dressed like I do when I'm wearing a suit. I do own a suit, a nice one in fact and a pair of black Oxfords, but they are among the least worn items I own, I just don't feel comfortable at all in them.
Thanks for commenting!
Hey John, this is one of my favorite vids you have made in a long time! Might be worth a part 2!
Thank you very much!
Good essential list. Over the past 2 years I've made most these changes to my wardrobe. By shopping the seasonal sales I've kept the cost pretty reasonable.
Love that! Thanks for watching!
@@40OverFashion John your channel helped set me on the right track as a guy that turned 40, 43 now. All my pants/jeans/shorts are solid colors and tapered, sneakers options on point, simple solid shirts for any bottom I choose, etc. I'm fit and confident in my every day style choices thanks largely to your channel. Now I'm updating my gym clothing, luggage, and accessories.
Always great advice thanks John.
Thank you!
I love your style and recommendations. I do wear tees quite a bit in the summer however. Great stuff!
Glad you enjoyed it Keith!
Good list! I’d add 2-3 polo shirts, a few ties, a navy suit - wear the jacket and pants separately for max use, and add a hat. I like a dark brown newsboy cap, but whatever you like is fine.
Having a nice good shirt jacket can give nice versatility to various outfits you can wear depending on its color and at the same time kinda act as an outer coat in the cooler seasons or days that it’s cooler. All the rest of stuff completely agree. Everyone starts at a different point in their clothing basics. For me it was having a versatility of basic colors in Chinos and good fabric Dress Trousers of lightweight Wool. Then color Leather Shoes, Belts. Then shirts of variety from Dress Shirts, Knits, casual shirts, polos. It all adds up to give variety. Building it all takes some time.
Thank you! Appreciate your comment!
I wear the Reebok Boxer briefs. Love hem and have a lot of pairs.
I love this list, being a 51 yr old man, i enjoy seeing this stuff. The brown oxford shoes are definitley nice looking at amazon for deals now.
@Linl both. Love the beach and enjoy visiting the MTS
Here in the UK, wearing a well polished pair of quality dark brown brogues with a pair of well fitting blue jeans, of the correct length, has always been a sign of good taste.
Here in the US as well! Thanks for commenting!
Nothing to add John, definitely a solid foundation. Thanks.
Thank you Daniel!
Underwear: I've taken a huge liking to Pair of Thieves the past 3 or 4 years. Super breathable and it's easy to forget you are even wearing any. Very lightweight and comfy.
Great video!! I have ZERO fashion sense so I always enjoy pointers on dressing well. Lol!
Awesome list of basics, I could relate to you with the dad bod thing. I have now realized very late that T-Shirts are not my thing since I am 40 yr old with a dad bod about 20 extra pounds. Not even Slim fitting casual shirts would look good on me anymore, would just go for Regular fitting shirts to avoid showing my dad bod curves.
Great selections
Good suggestions. I have not thought about the Chino idea before. Thank you for another well done video. 👊🏻
You're welcome Aaron! Thanks for watching!
Great video today!...learned alot...keep up the good work.👍
Thanks, will do!
Thanks, mr. Will definitely be checking out the Straight Up socks. I’m pretty much a Bombas guy but always on the search for something new. And I’ll give the Calvin trunks a shot as well.
Thanks for commenting Will!
You just listed all the basic items in my closet. One you might have added are those great belts you shared a while back. Great content.
Thank you Tony!
Great vid as always John.
It seems as though we have exactly the same tastes in classics. I'm amazed at the similarities in mine and your wardrobe. Have a Great Day 👍
Thanks for watching Andy! Great minds!
I got all bases covered except the sneaker, I want the thursday boot sneakers; they give more bang for the buck. As always John, thank you a for magnificent video my friend.
Thank you Juan!
John, your fashion tips are very practical for all color and hues. You are my fashion Northstar.
Thank you!
Personally I would suggest sticking to “plain” (non patterned) trousers. You can make them more interesting playing with different design details and textures. The reason why is that it just makes getting dressed that much easier, the plain trousers will go easily with a pain or pattern shirt and jacket. Besides that I would definitely include a suit as an essential. You will need it for those more formal situations (weddings, funerals). You could even get one in a dark blue in a birds eye weave, that way the jacket could even double as your sports jacket 🙂👍
Great video as usual, great advice great content. Thanks John
Thanks for watching Felix!
Hey John great video as always. You made me laugh about the dad bod. I feel like that sometimes too. Got to lay off too much Italian food!
Right!? Me too my friend! Thanks for watching!
Good advice . Personally I am at the point in my life where I still need some business attire ( semi retired ) and the need for a suit is still required . One area I will spend money in is good shoes ! They Stand the rest of time and buy classics
Legend;
Great stuff John!
Legend!
As always great content John! I have a light black corduroy blazer I wear casually or you can dress up a little. I do own a blue sports blazer similar to yours.
Perfect! Thanks for watching!
I think you are totally correct!!
Hi John
Love The Channel
Always Enjoy Your Basic Essential Videos !!
Thanks !!
Glad you like them!
Excellent, along with some well needed update reminders
Glad you think so Mark! Thanks for watching!
Great video, as always!
Greeting from the UK John, another great video. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it Shaun!
Ralph Lauren Boxer Briefs, Ralph Lauren Argyle Socks, Docker (Jean Cut Straight) Pants, Ralph Lauren Oxford's and Polo's (Nothing Outlandish, always classic styles never go out of fashion), Johnston and Murphy Shoes, Rockport leather boots, and a nice classic watch. Always in style, always in fashion.
I had to empty my closet while painting my bedroom and this kind of prompted a reassessment of my wardrobe. Thanks for the video, this was very helpful.
You are welcome! Thanks for watching!
I happen to like the dress boot, ankle high black but most of everything else you hit the mark with me
Thanks Robert!
Hi John, Another great video.
A great starting point and a good foudation to build on.
Living the UK the weather dictates we need a little more than your basic lists to cover the inevitable four season in one day we experience.
I'd add a decent dress coat as a starter for ten, other must haves for me and I know you've covered this are belts and accesories.
look forward to the next video..
PS the pants at 4:49 are Prince Of Wales Check..
Thank you!
Really liked the vide. Probably the best video on men fashion i have ever seen. It gives you a complete wardrobe good options and the looks with options given. Feel like buying new clothing.
Glad you liked it!! Thanks for watching!
Great Video. Thank you for posting.
Thinking I need to thin out my wardrobe and get back to these basics. Free up my closet.
I love the Calvins . Christmas present from my wife. Thanks for the recommendation .
Thanks John. 👍🏻
Great style!❤
Knee high socks are useful on long haul flights. They keep the lower leg compressed
Great advice as always 👍🏻
Thanks for watching!
Generally a pretty decent list except for the zip up jumpers which, in England, would most likely to be found in a care home for the elderly. That patterned jacket is a bit "loud" as well.
Wow very well explained
Very nice list for a minimalist lifestyle also
Thank you for sharing your fashion insights & guidance. Your most appreciated my friend.
On the subject of the dress jacket, is it possible for you to show yourself modeling that pattern jacket with other items in todays video? Love to see your combinations for ideas & inspiration.
Tommy John trunks underwear for the win!
Good review. You hit on the basics. It won’t break the bank.
Thanks Mike!
You are the best you get to point
The only thing I might suggest as addition is ideal basic neckties to have for the dress shirts. I’d also like to request a follow up video on basic accessories that go with the items from this video. Things like belts (colors , width, materials), watches, and maybe a section on cufflinks, tie clasps, rings, etc.
That's a great idea! Thanks Andrew!
Just noticed the Peter Manning label. I shop there often. I appreciate your channel!
Good advice, I'm in my late 30s getting ready to hit 40 couple of months, Thanks 🙏😊 Man.
Thank you for watching!
A good, solid list. Obviously, every man except the strict minimalist will build from this list and acquire more than the bare basics.
A couple of things I think I would add.
A suit. Preferably in navy or charcoal grey. Even if you only wear it a few times a year, there are times a man needs to wear a suit. I am thinking about semi formal or formal occasions like evening weddings and, of course, funerals.
Black dress shoes. They are more dressy than brown, but if you need them, you need them. Usually on occasions when you have to wear a suit. I am thinking captoe oxfords, whole cuts, or quarter brogues. Though if you have a pair of plain toe or split toe bluchers, that could work, too.
Great suggestions!
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the video. This list surely helps us to declutter our wardrobe and build on further. We can add to the list depending upon where we live. For example, in India we also need couple of Kurtas/sherwanis to wear during festivals/marriages.
Nice video I liked must of your selections (apart from the fancy underpants!)
Glad you enjoyed it Andrew! Thanks for watching!
Wow. Thank u
Basic knowledge is foundation. Thanks 🌷
Thank you!
Excellent
I always refer on your videos if i am looking for help! Thanking you.
You’re very welcome!
It's perfect. Great. Thanks. Best regards from Vienna. Anna
Good job...!!!
I think this is excellent for basics! The only thing I would add is belts. 👍🏼
Thanks Tony!
I prefer.r a Barbour or Belstaff Jacket to a bomber jacket as they suit the weather here in Blighty for at least six months of the year, but agree with the rest of your recommendations on jeans shoes, boots & shirts, I’m getting most of my wardrobe right but nice to have it confirmed..
Great video!
Thank you!
Great video
Thanks from Egypt
Awesome video I neeed to work on my shoes I don't have a variety oh need some chinos
Nice list. I find I often wear a pair of dark brown leather lace up boots also. Mine are Allen Edmonds and have been a quality staple for many years. Off topic (sorry), might you be planning a “What to wear to a fall wedding” video by any chance? Working on an outfit for an early October outside/barn, evening cocktail attire, wedding in New England.
Great outfit john , outstanding hooyah
Thank you very much!
Solid advice. As a self confessed fashion "slob", I wear pretty much Carhartt t-shirts and work pants (always clean)! everywhere.
Venturing into the dating world for the first time in a long time, these basics are a solid foundation and I'm sure will be a worthwhile investment. Your channel and a few others are on point for tbose of us with no personal fashion consultants. Figurative lifesavers 😀
Thanks Ronald!
@ Ronald Jacobi. While I am not a "Fashion Slob" I found that my wardrobe was definitely "Last Century" when your peer group is 40 years younger. But I am there beause of my Technical competence, but by searching the Internet for guidance I found John's Channel a year ago. He is a great inspiration because he dresses in a manner that fits in with my Marketplace Peers.
What I consider to be the very best Fashion advice for people who are dressing for Work and not the Weekend is in The New Testament, where the Apostles were told : "When in Rome do as the Romans do". Even if that involves being seen wearing Carhartt branded clothing. Phil.
@Linl When I was a baby I learnt to walk on Australia's famous Manly Beach. When I was 4 I lived in one of the apartments built right on the ocean front rocks at Bondi Beach, which are the ocean front buildings that are always shown in every photo of Bondi Beach. Massive storms take the waves up to the ground floor. If you Google "Massive rock washed up from ocean floor at Bondi Beach you will see where I lived during World War 2. I lved on the highside of the road that seperates the apartments and runs a shorr distance to the cliff top at Ben Buckler. That was my Father's choice, because he was in the Royal Australian Navy. So I became a lover of the sea, but I think that living in the mountains, with distant views, is where my heart is at it's happiest. Phil.
@Linl I have survived 4 cases of COVID 19 during the last 3 years. The first time I collapsed at a friend's house, whose neighbour is a Nurse at the largest Hospital in Melbourne, Australia. She called an ambulance, and when I arrived at the Emergency Department, the Nurse in Charge said "You will not live more than two days". Early the next morning, the Doctor in Charge of the COVID 19 Emergency Ward said "You will not live to see the end of the day", but I survived. Last month when I survived my fourth COVID 19 attack, after being told once again that I only had hours to live, while I was in bed I was visited by a young Ward Doctor, who had a very large smile on his face. He simply said "For your age you have an amazing constitution. I am here to tell you that for the fourth time, you have beaten the strongest strain of COVID 19. So I said that I was just gratefull to have been given the chance to live another day, when numerous people in the same Hospital were dying.
I had never used any form of Social Media, including Google, until I taught myself, on the very basic smartphone that I bought the morning of the day I first caught COVID 19.
So after that very long winded explanation, I would be very happy to hear about your likes and opinions, because I now feel like I have started a SECOND LIFE which will have many more suprises. Thank you for your very kind comments. Phillip.
A third shirt could be a light, even lighter, pink.
I quit even subtle pattens decades ago. I would buy a striped shirt, then only wear it on an “off” day it was raining or I felt crappy and why waste a good shirt on such. I realized it was self-fulfilling and fortified the day a total write-off.
But that’s just me.
Lots of good pointers; thanks.
Another great video! Almost at 250K subscribers!
Almost! Thank you Chris!
Thank you 👍🏼🏴🇬🇧
After covid hit, i declutter many clothes especially after a year since i lost 25 kg....now building more casual since the world really go through casual style....
Thanks
Welcome!
Damn that shirt contrasts so well with your hair. Wish I had white hair lol
Hi there. Really appreciate your content - a few years ago it really help me understand clothes for the first time. So I started from scratch to build a basic capsule type wardrobe - it’s been great. Just thought it might be good to have a video on branching out from there - once you have a solid base. maybe a ‘beyond basics’ for 2024 with some layering?? Thanks
As a 46 year old with absolutely no sense in fashion I needed a video like this. Rock Tshirts and jeans is all I ever really wear. It's not like I'm in my 20's anymore. Won't wear what my kids do either. Looks juvenile of a person at my age. Keep throwing these videos please. It's subscribed and notification is on.
Thanks for watching Adam!
Hi, I wonder if you can do a video on getting your first medium-upper level shoes, going from Macy's to Allan Edmunds, and a "just one pair" to 2 pair and beyond.
