That’s a cool belt! I’m a woman, but I’d totally recommend that to a man who wanted a “bang-for-buck” capsule wardrobe. 👍 I love the micro-adjustment & swappable buckles.
Been watching your videos. Thanks for your time and making these videos. Recent 55 year old male retired widow with 5 kids 11 to 25. Back out there dating after 3 decades of marriage. Been going through my wardrobe and grooming habits based off your coaching mentoring and my kids recommendations lol….specifically older 20 plus yr old daughters. You’re making a difference with your videos :) Thanks again
I'm 44, and my sister (9yrs older) told it to me best in my 20's... Invest in statement pieces. Like sports coats, good denim, and tailored suits. Always invest in good shoes. As much as you can afford. These expensive items will last you years. Then, buy good quality, stylish but affordable shirts, Tees, and other items. You dont have to dress head-to-toe expensive. The statement pieces will do the talking. Greatest fashion advice I've ever received. Now, I buy custom-made statement jackets, suits, jeans, and shoes whenever I can... because I can afford it.
Another great video ! I’m rebuilding piece by piece trying to follow your advise. When i’m in a store i try to remember all the tips, but end up picking something which catches my eye. Pls do a video on actual shopping in a store as well! Thanks ❤❤
John, so right! I'm starting to go to the tailor 'cause i have a heavy midsection and although i get lucky sometimes, most stuff off the rack doesn't look good. If i buy pants that fits me in the waist, it's too big and baggy at hips and the legs. So i have to taper these. Also, the color idea helps! (One pont: Go to a seamstress, not a fancy tailor, they charge less and a good one does the same work.)
@@40OverFashion John you should do a video of you trying on clothes off the rack, then the comparison after you have them tailored. I think it would give your viewers a greater comprehension of how much of a boost is on your style and looks. Maybe, for those who can't really afford to spend too much money, take it a step further and perhaps buying clothes at stores like Target and tailor them to see how much of an improvement it makes while saving a few bucks on the way. Keep up the great content!
@@armandogilio7935 yeh that would good. i notice i look better in the piece after i have it altered. im lucky to have a reasonably priced seamstress who does good work
Simple advice here John! One of these points I've changed in my wardrobe lately, is to do with belts. I much prefer to match my belt to my trousers recently, instead of my shoes. I think belts look best when they are as inconspicuous as possible, so they don't cut your body in half visually. If you can skip the belt altogether, I'd go with that. But if you need one to keep your pants up, I would always go with a belt that matches the color of your trousers as closely as possible.
I’ve always liked the distinct line of a belt, so I guess it also boils down to personal preference. Just make sure it’s complementary - Brown goes with khaki, black goes with gray
Great advice as usual. Thank you! I just received my second 3 belt box set from Anson. Preferred the first box on your recommendation and they are terrific. All my old belts have been donated. Keep up the great content. Cheers 👍😎🇦🇺

Funny, you mentioned that, I’ve been wanting to do that for a while. My tailor has been closed for a few weeks due to a family emergency, so once he gets back, I need to definitely plan that video. Appreciate the suggestion!
@@40OverFashion sure thing! since you recommended tailoring your clothes I have done so and it makes shopping little easier instead of endlessly looking for an item that fits perfectly. Also, I have brought to life a couple of clothes that were "out of fashion" with a little upgrading from my tailor. So definitely it would be of great help showing that in your channel.
I have a couple of those ratchet belts. Super slick mechanism. And they stay looking new because you’re not bending them every time you put them on or take them off. Someone needs to make that kind of mechanism for leather watch bands.
Grear area to start. I have a few nice pairs of dark wash denim jeans that fit, but need to have the length adjusted a little bit. Once that's fixed, those are going to look great.
Great advices always. from the two past years i haven't be able to take care about my wardrobe because of the pain in the hip caused by arthrosis. I had my first cirugy on past january and the second one will be into two weeks. Everthing has been great about it. I need to start to recover my life and one of the aspects is how i will dress now that im 54. Im in a city in the north of Mexico but i can cross legaly to usa in order to do my shopping. Im going to start buying new shoes, new belts, etc. Im following you but because my illness i havent put attention to clothes and styling. It was too much pain. But i planning to start over again. Best regards
I buy from Untuckit a lot cause I heavily dislike tucking in shirts. I will if it's an occasion that truly requires it, and for those occasions I wear a sports coat over the shirt.
Great Video. I have been looking for a link like this. Back in the day, my go to store was Brooks Brothers. Now? Joe. Bank is good but I want that top shelf look without spending $$$$$ on trendy stuff. age 70+
Thank you buddy. I’m rarely swayed by sponsor spots, but you had my attention with that micro adjustment feature. I was just thinking how I can never find a damn belt that fits quite right. I will give that a look
When I was a salesman for clothing (suits) at Nordstrom I would attempt to convince my customers to choose style over fashion. The more mature customers understood this philosophy, the younger men would mostly be interested in the latest fashion. The left looking good and I knew they would be a return customer soon.
I try to get to the barbers every 3 weeks and always have my, ears and nose waxed and my eyebrows trimmed, and the neck hairs are taken care of, as I keep my hair short, buzzed 2, 1, 0 😊
Sounds painful! Just get yourself a decent nose hair trimmer and save yourself that expense and pain. I find that I only have to trim the ear and nose hair once every couple of weeks
I never paid attention to the way I dress. I watched multiple video from you and my wife told me why, you just look and take no action. So I started to buy new pants, shoes, shirts following your advise. At age 68 it was about time
@yvesinformel221 well done to you. I made several changes 2 years ago after watching these videos. I am now easily the smartest 49 year old in any room, period.
I’ve tried leather sneakers from Cole Haan, and, while I like the look, I can never seem to find a fit that suits me quite right. Which brand of leather sneaker do you like?
Personally, I’m a huge fan of Thursday sneakers. I have several different pairs, and they’re all fantastic. Not just saying that because I do brand deals for them, I truly love their shoes.
@@40OverFashion those pretty decent? I get pummeled with their ads on social media which sometimes gives off the impression the marketing hype might overshadow the actual products, but if you say they are worth a look, I’ll check them out. Thank you
Hi John, been looking for those brown Brogues with the ornate hole design, but no luck yet at local stores. Don't want to chance it on mail order, any ideas? Thanks!
I’m not sure what stores you have in your area, but if you don’t want to order online, I would just say to keep looking and try a few different stores.
Style is important, but if you don't follow any fashion trend sometimes what you wear could be outdated. However recently I saw a trucker jacket that looks nice, but when I tried it it was oversize because it's a trend right now, and I don't like at all oversize clothing.
The orange loafers... I'd probably want to wear a belt that matches my pants. That's why having a blue strap (or a few shades of blue), gray strap, and khaki strap helps.
Agree about the versatility of brown leather shoes. Have you ever experimented with blue or grey dress shoes? Black dress shoes seem so overdone and dated to me.
Personal grooming story. I was at my hairstylist. When a man rather unkept looking, walks in with his son. Who is rather unkept looking. The man speaks out in a loud voice and says, my boy here has a date tonight, and he needs the back of his neck shaved. I’m thinking both of you need a serious haircut and beard trimming. I thought there it is, you just can’t hide class.
He probably told his son to tuck his shirt in so he looks all fancied up. By the time he's old enough to date, he's old enough enough to go to a barber without a parent.
Big logos are for teenagers! They look awful as you age. The exception is in WDW - all fashion rules are off; it is Disney tops all the way! Great video John, snd a timely one too.
Very spot on John. @barnstil591 said it very well. But style goes on even further. A person, especially men, can wear a sports coat that is 20+ years old and still rock it. Style is knowing how to carry, present, & act. Not being something flashy. Regarding the pants subject. You always show pants that are trim fit, almost skinny. What if we can't stand that fit? And it's funny about shoes for me. I wear the same exact shoes that I got in 1989. They are my Army issue black dress shoes. And I still get comments to date that they are good looking shoes. All good points! Legend, out!
There’s probably only so much you can say about the same basic principles of good, mature style. Perhaps the idea is that new guys are coming through here every day based on the videos being recommended, so I think it’s smart. Plus, doesn’t hurt to remind us guys who already know
I wouldn’t recommend giving away the cloths and shoes at this tough times. I’ll keep them and use them. Save your money to pay your debts and mortgage before purchasing anything unnecessary and luxury. This is minimalism.
I would disagree because I think minimalist attitude would honestly help to save money…plus first impressions are often lasting impressions…Im married with 4 kids but I’m always looking for at least one item to improve my overall looks…this month it might be one pair of dark denim jean pants…next month belts but I’m slowly working towards a complete wardrobe…piece mailing is way better then doing nothing at all…

Fashion is trend. Style is a way of life.
Agreed…ALSO, fashion (good/bad) is a social expression, and style (good/bad) is a personal identification.
Fashion is a trend style is forever
