Gotta add my two cents about the cross-body bag - as a guy nearly 60, I know I have to watch where I take my fashion. However, I find the cross body bag, in a reasonable size, to be a great alternative to packing my pockets with wallet, cell phone, keys, and now face mask. In my cross-body bag I can also squeeze in a small, folded up reusable bag which is required in my state since we don't allow plastic shopping bags. I can also get in my work ID, and transit pass, so I don't ever forget them at home. I find the cross-body bag to be subtle and super practical.
Downsize, brother. Go with a "Ridge"-style wallet, for starters. Keys and cellular in your pocket. No need for the modern day "fanny pack". Unless you wanna look like grandpa. Then have at it!
Also suffering from pandemic hair because here in Melbourne Australia all barbers are closed until Oct. Agree with everything you raised John, no complaints from me. Keep up good work from Shane down under in Australia
Agree with the comments about cross body bags' practicality. It might be the fact that in the US there not as common as in Europe where you see them in men a lot. Granted, they are slimmer in comparison, more like a purse but more rectangular into square. Many of them very stylish in my opinion.
Cross body bags allow you to sit down with the bag on. Very helpful if you travel to work on bus or train. Some times and places you want to turn the bag around if you are in a bad area. Also if you conceal carry a gun they are perfect.
I totally agree with everything you say here John. What is your "take" on man bags? Should they be worn across the chest or dangle from the shoulder? I personally love them as they hole all my stuff without having to jam everything into pockets! Looking forward to your reply!
man bags are great. less bulk in the pants pocket. across the chest, if only for security purposes (plus it looks very smart) or hold it by the handle if it has one.
My cross-body bag is behind me. It is very small and great while riding my e-bike. There is only a very thin strap going diagonally across my body. I find them to be very comfortable. The ones with the bag on the front look very gauche and I agree with you.
I started wearing a bag more than a year ago. Strap across my body. the bag on my hip. I wear a NutSac bag. It looks like a small (11in.) canvas/leather computer bag. I carry my wallet, phone, note book, pens, keys, a small hairbrush, and a small flashlight. Best part about a bag, no more crap in my pockets. so my cloths look better.
I agree with everything u said ....What about distressed jeans? I got a pair for my Bday n they look,fit, n feel fantastic not to sure if I can rock em this fall
I agree with everything apart from hating on high waisted trousers. I think for the right figure (age regardless they are fine). In fact they sit on the hip (a natural place) and are flattering on the legs.
John, I always look forward to your videos. Your commentaries have had a major influence in what I wear although these days I do not go out except to my gym where masks aré required. I am going to go through my closet and start to discard what I haven’t worn and what may be passé or inappropriate. Thanks!
Agree with you on just about all...except...the crossover bag. Please I cant give up my crossover bag, I die if I had too...lol.. On the serious note, I hate the lump of wallets or my phone in my pants pockets. Those bumps and lumps caused by stuffing your pants with all your gear, makes for a not so clean line when wearing pants. Plus I hate sitting on my wallet or digging for my phone when getting in out of the car or moving about.
I use a cross body bag in summer, made in grey (as my hair) canvas. The practicality of it is big when you go on the beach by bicycle as I do. You store all your items in one place, on you body. When you put it away or put it on you, the money (never a wallet) in one pocket, keys in another and off you go. As for the other six items goes you are right, in my opinion.
I have been your subscriber since long and always respect your ideas, recommendations and your own personal style. And your videos are always about content rather than some drama. For today's video I actually smiled on your very first mention. I want to admit that I use my small 10l decathlon backpack slung across my body in the front while cycling only. The front access makes it convenient to take out or put back in my camera/shades etc. And I did it purely out of convenience.
Crossbody bags are more versatility than fashion and removes the need for a backpack. I just moved back from Japan after 12 years, and these crossbody bags are popular there because of the subways & trains.
John....I FULLY agree with you. Even if a gun was put to my head....I would never wear any of these hideous items. 😝 You have to draw the line somewhere 😦.
As always you are bang on with your comments. Supposedly in the UK there is a fashion for buying and wearing fake branded clothing! Strange if true and completely wrong in my opinion
Shear material... Maybe we're talking about different materials. It's called freeze or chill here in Japan. Can get it in solid or sport related pattern. With our 33° - 40° Summer humid heat wearing this seemingly chilled fabric is extremely cooling.
Fanny bags in Australia they are bun bags very handy for phone wallet keys sun glasses. My bum bag is a camera bag to carry a SLR +a smaller camera cross my back .very handy .
John, I feel on all of the items except the cross body bag. I think it look pretty cool as long as you wear the pouch on your back and not across your chest. I hate having my keys, wallet and mobile phone in my pockets. What do you suggest? Thanks "GL"
Big Hello 🥂 well if i had my choice or an options to give more thumb to this video..I definitely would 👍 trust me i feel so much myself watching ur updated👍
The high waist trouser was popular some years back and I believe look great for a more dressed up looked- suits; flannel trousers, etc. Check out vintage movies.
John, Im undergoing chemotherapy treatment for cancer and it’s caused a rash on my face and back. I’ve tried to use foundation to cover up the redness, but I’m not very good at so I ask my daughter for help. Could you cover this on here if it’s something some guys use? Thanks
I am presently looking for a good cross body/sling bag. I walk using forearm crutches so a man purse or soft briefcase are not secure enough and also get in the way of my sticks. I'm using a backpack right now but anytime I need something from my bag I have to remove my sticks, remove the pack, juggle my sticks and the pack and whatever it is that I'm getting out....you get the idea. I'm looking for something that's not too tacticool, something stylish like the leather one in the video.
What a look so mood style. I have really enjoyed this look and style. Great work on the video. Now I have to get ready to hit the club again both this video in style and then Delta Parole - Wasted Music Video that I had watched before this again since every night out I rock out to it first goes stunnin smooth, motivated me to be the man tonight. What are any of you other beautiful peoples hit the club songs?
I like a cross body bag for essential items such as my inhalers, lip balm, eye drops , allergy meds, glasses, phone charger pack ,hand sanitizer, gum, extra mask small note pad and pen. All things I need for a day out and about. Things I can’t carry in my pants pockets , they don’t slip off my shoulder, they don’t take up much space on my body, they don’t need to be removed to to sit. It holds a few things in a small space. I see it as a solution more than a trend.
John, I bought a Brio trimmer after you talked about it on a previous video. It is the best trimmer I have owned and holds a charge so long. Has anyone tried the toothbrush?
Hi John another great video thanks for sharing. On the question of fanny packs as you would call them, in scotland we call them bum bags and I frequently use a black leather one from time to time and generally wear it across my chest, the reason being, I have type1 diabetes and I’m required to carry insulin, needles together with my sensor meter reader. I would agree I do take a bit of a ribbing from some of my friends but for me it’s an essential piece of kit. The morale of this post being the next time you see someone with a “fanny pack” they may be carrying life saving kit 👍
John as you know I buzz my head down to like a 5 o'clock shadow, what would this clipper be like no guard to give myself a buzz is it smooth or would it knick my skin with no guard?
Imo, high rise trousers are far more attractive than low rise. They help to hide a belly whilst low rise trousers make a round stomach even more obvious. Also, they help make your legs look longer, which I would argue is an advantageous look. To each his own but I love high rise and think it should be the standard for the average guy, particularly older men (as their physique is usually not as shapely as it used to be)
@@paulorlando5877 I like to look back at the golden age of menswear at times as so many men dressed elegantly back then. As a young guy I wasn’t really into high rise at first but not that I’ve tried it, I can’t go back.
@@paulorlando5877 Also I forgot to say. High waisted trousers weren’t just a thing in the 40s. They’ve been around for over a millennia. It is in fact low rise that is the trend (and a bad one at that imo)
Car keys, phone(s), wallet, gum, etc. That's a lot to stuff into my pockets. I tell my society that I'll stop carrying a bag when they stop ragging on my cargo shorts.
This is a tough one. Go check out the AER product line for the AER day sling 2. They have "slings" that John is talking about when he says crossbody. I agree with John that this is a great EDC carrying tool...for the Millennials. I carried an AER sling for a couple of weeks and to be honest I think I embarrassed myself in the process. I too don't like cramming my pants pockets with keys, wallet and iPhone...let alone chapstick, Leatherman, Field Notes, pen. Thus the practicality of a sling. However I think it's still for the young crowd. I gave my AER sling to my 26 year old son and he loves it. I now have to re-double my efforts to find an EDC carrying format that works for me and checks off all the boxes. John thanks for bringing this up on this video.
I don't really see many cross body bags in New Orleans, but I probably don't really take something like that into consideration when it comes to fashion. Totally agree with the sheer shirts thing, plus I don't have the body to be able to carry that off. LOL I'm not sure about high waisted pants, are you talking about natural waist or something higher and more exaggerated?
I guess I’ve seen them in a few different levels of heights. I don’t mind them on slender guys, but I don’t think it’s a practical piece for the majority of men. That’s all.
@@40OverFashion I agree, we with most things that aren't overtly geared to a specific age group, it really depends on the body type. I've gotten so used to pants that sit lower that it would be hard to wear high-waisted pants.
I've never laid eyes on one of those diagonal front packs. They're a thing? On the other hand, I have a sling-style backpack and it's perfect for hiking. biking, fishing and XC skiing. Easy on, easy off, secure and comfortable to carry. Not much of a fashion accessory, but a great tool.
I'm unsure about the high-waisted trousers, because they come and go and have been worn with suits, but agree with the rest. Some of them fall into the "WTH!?" bracket quite squarely to be honest...sheer fabric!?
I also don't like cross body bags... because the crossbody sash is my style. (It's less fanny pack, more utility belt.) They're good for artists and photographers.
A+ on all your recommendations. The only one I believe is viable is a 'higher' waistband for suit pants(classic) not so high as in the model you show and certainly not with skinny lower leg with inappropriate short cuffs a la clam digger style! Carry on sir, classic style without the swings of outrageous fashion trends. Elegance please!
I honestly feel tie dye is okay as long as the rest of your outfit is minimal as tie dye is mostly a statement piece ..for example tie dye sneakers on a minimal t shirt and jeans outfit or tie dye sweatshirts minimal shoes and pants
Hi John. I'm not sure if you've mentioned this before but I suggest that very large watches are a no, no. Apart from 6ft 10" NBA guys I don't believe they work on the rest of us. I hope I don't upset too many of you guys with this view!
The cross-body bag is perfect when you're commuting by bike. Also, I bought my sunglasses at the 99 Cent Store and you're right they don't have to be expensive.
sling wallet (not actually a sling bag) yeah... those look horrible but since i wore these, i never lost my wallet but whenever I got a chance, I put them in my bag if I need to look better. slowly transitioning from the tactical look (cargo shorts/pants) to a more fashionable one like you have been demonstrating.
I have to agree with you on all these trends. They need to go away especially the high waisted trouser. Not everything that you see on the fashion runways need to be seen on the street. Have a great long weekend.
High waits pants looks good for men with bellies And also it so old back in days You can't say it is a trend...it's more a style that fits many men for years
Hi John, there's been an athleisure trend since last year. I think it would be awesome if you can do an episode about athleisure for men 40-over. I live an active lifestyle, play sports & workout regularly, and I think the number of 40-over gym rats, runners & recreational athletes is growing fast. Thanks. Stay safe & healthy.
I wear a crossbody bag on my back every time I leave the house. I have to carry 2 cellphones, a wallet, a small notepad & pen for work, a USB drive, a microfiber cloth, chapstick, sunglasses, pills, sanitizer, keys, and a knife. However, when getting down for quick stops, I only carry my wallet, personal phone, and keys. It is a lot better than carrying a big backpack to have all of my EDC items on hand.
"Joe College with a touch of arthritis" -- Humphrey Bogard in, 'Sabrina'. As a general rule; if you're old enough to remember the last time a trend was fashion, you're too old to wear it now or again . . .

great message , i agree
Always elegant with useful information. Thank you.
Thank you Jamil!
Totally agree on all.
Spot on, and well said. No one over 40 should be following any of these fashion trends in my opinion! Keep up the good work 😎
Yes! Thank you!
Excellent observations! I agree with you on all counts.
Thank you Shawn!
Great video I love my Brio
Thank you!
You are right on every single one!!
Thank you!

how can tye dye dye out?

Shear material... Maybe we're talking about different materials.
It's called freeze or chill here in Japan. Can get it in solid or sport related pattern.

You can't say it is a trend...it's more a style that fits many men for years
Hi John, there's been an athleisure trend since last year. I think it would be awesome if you can do an episode about athleisure for men 40-over. I live an active lifestyle, play sports & workout regularly, and I think the number of 40-over gym rats, runners & recreational athletes is growing fast. Thanks. Stay safe & healthy.
Thanks! I’ve done several already with another one coming up in a few weeks. Thanks for watching!
Nice opening John "My list". Neverthless, as far the list is concerned "You nailed it".
Thank you!
Hi John, you're bang on the money with all of them :-D
Thank you Paul!
I’m thinking of vacationing in the Philippines some time. Cross body back would help protect me from pick pockets!
As I said before that's the only reason to even consider something like this
I don't think it would stop them.
Cross body bags are popular in Europe it has advantages
I wear a crossbody bag on my back every time I leave the house. I have to carry 2 cellphones, a wallet, a small notepad & pen for work, a USB drive, a microfiber cloth, chapstick, sunglasses, pills, sanitizer, keys, and a knife. However, when getting down for quick stops, I only carry my wallet, personal phone, and keys. It is a lot better than carrying a big backpack to have all of my EDC items on hand.
Hello. I love your channel, I'd like you do a program talking about T-shirts. Plesse.

Damn straight!
