so. if you're old, you must suffer in the heat because people like you can't handle looking at old people. got it.
How about a shark T shirt, cargo shorts and crocs lol...
Y'all didn't make this for black people. 🤣
@@lildwell2 Probably right, considering a lot of black guys still wear Air Jordan sneakers well into their 40’s these rules don’t apply. (But they should.)
I’m kind at the point where I’m not a huge shorts fan. I still like my Henley but I workout quite a bit too.
I think the best part about getting older is that you don’t care what some younger person thinks 😀
Have a great day everyone!
THIS. The most memorable fashion sightings in my life is always an older person who dresses more youthfully than their age suggests as far as the status quo goes.
@@jomirod in 1989 (I was 8 at the time) I remember seeing this "old" guy move onto the next street of my grandparents. He'd have been mid to late 50s. He'd always be wearing the latest shell suit tracksuits and Reebok pump/air Jordan shoes. Man, I thought he was one cool dude. Now as a 41 year old I dress the same way that guy did. Suppose it always left an impression on me.
@@TheRetroManRandySavage I’ve no doubt a younger person has spotted you and been in awe of your cool. I’m not claiming to be anything sartorially special, but I’ve had my fair share of little kids smile and wave at me and people closer to Gen Z throw me a compliment about my look. And I dare say my looks are a little more oversized and Nick toon-looking than what a man of 40 ‘should’ wear according to more conservative opinions. Let’s keep on dressing however we damned well feel and admiring people who do same 🧊🔥
If it's hot I'm wearing shorts no matter what age I am. I'm not going to roast my nuts 🥜 and have a soggy groin in the summer 😝
Yup
The greatest part of being over 40 is I'm seasoned enough to not rely on fashion advice from a couple millennials who haven't experienced enough life to be giving advice to men over 40.
nailed it
Best comment 👏🏽
This was ridiculous
Right on .
TOUCHE ! 😅😅😅😅
They tried.. its fine.. but yeah they lost me on not using leather jacket wtffd
Here's some actual good advice I was given for dressing in my forties: Make sure your clothes fit well. As our bodies change as we age, clothes fit in a different way.
Yup, hemming the pants and sleeves goes a long way.
I disagree with most of this. Just know what looks good on you, and wear what you like. Be aware of trends but steer clear of fads. Most of all, as a mature well-rounded man, don't let millennials dictate how you should dress.
Keep in mind Millennials will be turning 40 in this decade.
Exactly. I wear mainly vintage 80s n 90s clothing.
Basically the same things I wore as a kid/teenager lol.
My clothes would've been classed as fads n trends 30/40 years ago.😂
@@eddieibarra356 the two in the vid look like extremely young millennials.
I'm one of the oldest millennials being born January of 81.
These two look to still be in their mid to late 20s.
Can you imagine that snot nose kid having the nerve to tell us how we should dress? My 15-year old granddaughter dresses better than she does!
Fantastic response - and all true.
I'm 40. Best shape of my life. One word..... INDIVIDUALISM. Ppl should wear what the hell they want. If you feel good in it, then dam, go ahead and wear it! I encourage all types of clothing on any age. Never conform. What a load of crock!
This is so other people don’t see you as a sad try-hard struggling to look younger.
If you don’t mind giving that impression, or if that is who you genuinely are, don’t forget to wax your soul patch before you slip into you short-shorts and leather jacket.
Agree Im 50 and i wear what i want depending on the situation
You’ve gotta kinda consider the source. Here we have 2 individuals on a “fashion channel” who decided to wear black and grey t-shirts criticizing people who have been on the cover of GQ, so…
Yea they are freaks
Dear mr Clit, Remember this we dont have to try hard to anything, we have already done it while u were in elementary school.
Three things I'm never doing:
1. Giving up henley shirts
2. Giving up wearing a nice pair of shorts
3. Taking fashion advice from a woman
I'm 46 and I love henleys. I'll never stop wearing them.
@@theinitiate110 Damn right!
I never understood the appeal of henley shirts. Can you explain why you like them so much? I don't see the appeal myself.
@@yarpenzigrin1893 you can open them up a bit for air
@@animalanimal1417 Ok, I guess I never needed that in a t-shirt.
I'm 41 and still dress the same as I did in the 80s & 90s. I couldn't give a hoot what other people think. I'll wear what I damn well please.
Good to know you still dress like a toddler.
@@RogerLoera vintage Levi's, acid & stone wash denim, vintage t-shirts, shellsuits, starter jackets, retro nikes, Jordan's and Reebok pumps.
All adult clothing, in adult sizes.
How is that dressing like a toddler?
Please, pray tell?
I'm all ears.👂
@@TheRetroManRandySavage well just say that. Style from the 80s and 90s. Gotcha.
Taking fashion advice from two individuals who are wearing the most basic clothing I've ever seen. Donatella Versace
says minimalism is a trend that should never return. Take advice from a pro, especially if you wanna give advice to others.
🤣🙌🏽
I agree, bin my horse hide 30 year old A2 jacket because I hit 59? Or the custom made kangaroo Motorrad jacket? They feel good and I like them, couldn’t give a toss what anyone thinks.
@@giloro85 I’m sorry I wasn’t aware these individuals were around in 1818. You’d think being from 1818 you would know how to style yourself yet they look like they’re gonna go do laundry. I said what I said.
That part, yassss 🤣🤣
A guy as pale as he is shouldn't be wearing a black t-shirt
Wait til they are in their 40's.. that video will be about wearing leather jackets, henleys and shorts.
Hahahahaha
So true
I know, right! 😂
Yup
Lol true
How is telling a 40 year old man not to wear shorts not the same as telling a woman of 40 not to wear a skirt above the knee? Can you imagine the reaction to that?
Probably does us men no harm to have a tiny insight into what it feels like for women to be so often boxed-in like that, but yeah... I haven't work shorts since I was sixteen because I always hated them, found them infantile and aesthetically ridiculous even when I was a kid. But that's just me; hell, I wear a kilt. I may not like 'em, but I have no reason to object to other people wearing 'em if that's their thing. I'm sure I look equally daft to them. One of the worst clothing sins of all is thinking - as the pair in this video seem to - that your own, subject fashion preferences can be preached as objective rules. It's a really common delusion in fashion blogger world.
You’re absolutely right. It’s a double standard. Women love beating up on older men because, the fact is, that older men can date much younger women whereas a very small percentage of women can do the same. “Who do these older men in short shorts think they are with these gorgeous young things in string bikinis?!” 😆
Hahahaha right?? I love when they hammer on short guys and how they look stubby or some such cause they don't wear pants that fit perfectly. Talk about women like that see what happens. The double standard is strong.
I'm 40 and I'm wearing shorts when it's 110 in Phx. Guess I'll just have to continue embarrassing myself.
They're the same. It's all gender based sexism. Nothing more attractive than confidence.
I wondered the same thing when I saw a video about the top 10 things women like in men, and one of them is when a man is punctual. I’d like to see that in reverse.
I turn 40 in a few months and I honestly don't even look my age, so I'm going to continue to wear whatever I like
I'm getting close to 50 and some people don't even think I look 30.
Silent laugh
About to turn 40. With my beard I look 40 since it went from black at age 30 to 50/50 white/black over the last 10 years. I don't drink any alcohol, caffeine, or smoke, and I workout and run 6x per week. When I shave my gray beard I look like I'm in my mid 20's.
Life is too short,wear whatever makes you happy.
"Don't wear shorts when you're 40+." Oh, so I should just move to Norway once I hit 40, is that the tip?
Yes, move to Norway.....but no leather jackets !!! lol
You sre assuming it is allways cold in norway or that its against the law to wear shorts ?
@@MrMunki2
You know what he meant 😉
Wear a linen suit instead.
What about if you are in shape and look better than a 20-year-old 🤔
Still disagree on leather jackets. It's arbitraty telling oh you're above 40 ditch that biker jacket. Doesn't make sense. A lot of 40 year old guys in much better shape than 30 year old ones and I, as the majority of people, will think the 40 guy in good shape will look better in the jacket than a 30 in not so great shape. Also, some aspects of style are highly subjective and even though I love your videos and find them really helpful I think sometimes (as is the case with this video and the previous one you mentioned) you guys come across as arrogant with that atitude of almost mocking your audience for disagreeing with you. Yes Ash may do that for a living but so do many other youtbers that disagree with you on this one. Just to clarify, I'm not 40 (33 actually) nor did I wrote a comment on this on the previous video so no, this isn't in no way a butthurt response, it's just an honest and constructive critic. When so many people tend to disagree with you, chances are (maybe, just maybe) you can be wrong!
Keep up the good work !
Yeah, it’s like going to the barber and telling him exactly what you want for a haircut and then they give you their opinion what haircut you should actually get and when you insist on your choice they start arguing with you! I hate that! If I come in asking for advice on what to do with my hair THAT’S when I want your opinion until then shut up and do what I pay you for!
The '40s and '50s are the time to have fun with your fashion as a man. I'll be 41 years old in 2 months, and I feel young and free!!!
42 here bro
Although I've never indulged in most of the things mentioned here, I'm thrilled to say I will never be "fashionable". I wear what I want, when I want, and if others (besides my wife) don't like it, too bad.
Exactly, F who thinks otherwise. Do you and feel comfortable not what someone else thinks you should do or wear
@@JAMUSA2018 Damn right! 👍
Could not disagree more on leather jackets. A high-quality classic biker can be worn with just about anything. I'm 41 and its my staple.
You tell ‘em Fonzie…
Same here. I’m 55, fit, jovial and have three biker jackets. I receive compliments every time I wear them. Wear what you feel good in. Wear your confidence inside out and be unapologetic.
You're totally right. 40s is about the best age for a quality leather jacket.
I'm 38 and I'm not gonna let go of my leather biker jacket it's just a beautiful and masculine.
Midlife crisis.
Dead wrong on shorts. As long as the fit is right and the shirt and shoes are right, shorts are great in the right situations.
Exactly and that applies to alotta things in general, you basically make sure whatever your wearing looks tasteful and if you got that down your good to go.
These guys are kinda depressing lol
Shorts? It's a no for me. Nothing good looking about shorts. I wear pants year round. Even if it's 100 degrees outside.
However, they are dead wrong about Henleys. And this is their opinion, not set in stone, or always correct.
I disagree actually
Not everyone has legs worth showing off though.
I have a condition that i reverse in age. When I was 60 I couldn't wear any of this. Now that I'm 32, I can finally wear this stuff because this couple says it's ok now.
Just wear whatever makes you feel comfortable. As you get older, you stop worrying about other people think about you. I don’t really care what other people think of me.
Comfort, function, social setting is always my wardrobe of choice . At 62 I really don’t care about peoples perceptions since my values are intrinsic in nature. Thanks for sharing.
Wow love your comment
@240fxst Hello, are you still alive old man?
@@Dennis-xp2mf yes alive n well wearing shorts laying on a beach halfway around the world where it’s always warm waiting for my mango collada from my young lady friend .
40 isn’t Old ...
I’m 50 years young ...
You sir are right! My dad is 60 years young and moves around as if he’s 20 yrs younger
Agree 💯
50 is old to everyone under 80. How you deal with 50 is what makes the difference between the dyed hair hog with a dark tan in tight clothes and the DILF in stylish clothes and accessories that turns heads and gets compliments.
Age is just a number! Do what you want and do what you love ❤️ If you feel good and comfortable, then go!
This kind of advice sometimes make people feel curious and dumb.
I watched this vdo in early 2022 and surprised there are people judging/commenting other people because of what they wore…
Considering a long history of humankind, there’s something that has never changed.
I live in Florida. Shorts are worn by all ages and rarely does it look really bad on someone.
Tampa here I agree.
I'm 43 and i love leather jackets and i wear them so often and get lots of compliments from guys and girls because i wear fitted one's and i have a good physique as im a regular at the gym so i dont agree that they cant be pulled off. And i wear the moto racer ones and still pull off. I think they can be worn at any age as long as you're in shape and know how to style them with boots or sneakers.
They specifically said motorcycle jackets though, they didn’t say stop wearing ALL types of leather jackets.
The average biker is in their late 30s to mid 40s.
They said “if you really really really know your style.” Did you ignore the caveats?
They have no idea :(
I agree
well at 40, I sure hope you don't have to care what others think of what you choose to wear ... you know what works best for you ! trust yourself!
I'm in my 40s and couldn't care less about what people think of what I wear. And I'll wear what I want
last point is dumb. nothing wrong with wearing shorts even when you’re old either.
In the right situation - and it is completely stupid at any age in the wrong situation.
It does depend on the shorts, and the context in which you’re wearing them and the type you’re wearing there. I would go to a nice restaurant for lunch, in dressier short based outfit, but I’d never wear shorts to dinner in a decent restaurant or cocktails at a nice bar or on a date.
@@Gryphonisle Exactly! Context is everything
You 2 are Wrong Again:
Leather Jackets, are you kidding. Leather is classic and timeless.
Shorts - you must have horrible chicken legs! When it’s 100 degrees out you don’t have a choice!
As stated before; this can’t be determined without knowing all the factors (physical shape, location, etc…).
Where what makes you feel good and confident!
I like shorts. I don't need to give a reason why and when I wear them. I wear them because I like shorts. I wear them in autumn, winter, spring, and summer. So there.
Wear whatever you enjoy at any age. This is your life and you are the creator of your style. Trends always come and go.
I don't understand why I have to change my clothing style based on what what age I'm in. Seems silly to me to try to care about what others think.
I'm 65 and never paid much attention to "style" - so I was pleasantly surprised to see that I'm not guilty of any of these particular crimes against fashion. (except that I do wear shorts all summer because pants are just too hot where I live).
At age 40, I'm way too old to be told what I should and shouldn't wear at my age. I'm at the age where if someone tells me I shouldn't do something, I'm going to do it worse. Like wear a leather jacket with a Bulls Jersey underneath, a backwards baseball cap and some daisy dukes. Bright white daisy dukes.
Lmao yes!!!!! You got this!!!🤣🤣🤣
Bulls gear until the day I die!
At 40 , your not old at all
I live in L.A. and have a big family. Outdoor gatherings happen almost weekly in the hot summer and any guy Not wearing shorts to the party... Is nuts.
This what I go by: The shape of your body.If you still look fit, flat stomach, no moobs.You deserve and have earned the right to wear ANYTHING.
I'm 38 and wear whatever I want within reason of course, the only time I dress like a "grown up" is at weddings, I own my own business so even in business meetings I wear my joggers, jeans, hoodies, Nike, new balance or whatever. I know I'm getting older but if I start acting like it then I know my life's coming to an end.
Respectfully, you guys are on some BS right now. I definitely appreciate YOUR opinion, although it is not the end all be all. Dorian, please take a step back from your wife's channel.
He's clearly not wearing the pants in his relationship at all,,, simping must be easy because he constantly looking at her for acceptance to speak or to agree which is pathetic and everybody sees it
Step away from her completely. Off camera. Separate channels. Separate lives dude.
😂
Just be yourself folks. Life is too short to wear something or not wear something depending on the opinions of two people online.
Be happy, be yourself.
I'm 57, and I wear what I want....never been high income so never needed fancy clothes to fit into any social circles.
Where I come from, one's character shines from behavior, not clothing.
The henley part’s gonna piss Alpha M off
I prefer Henley's better than tee's.
Best tips to look good. Hygiene, fitness, education, ambition, being friendly, wear clothes that fit your body. Covered most things here I think.
Perfect. Love this video. I now know that when I’m 40 imma wear
1. Shorts
2. Leather jackets
3. Trendy shit
4. Facial hair ( soul patch much more)
5. More. ( not classic)
6. Scale up
Thanks for letting me know what to wear to affect your mood.
Just two people with their own opinion. Really doesn't matter what they say or think.
I didn't discover Henley's until I was in my later 50s. I always get compliments when wearing one so for me I think the clock started more recently than for others. In addition I make certain that they fit.
My biggest error over the years has been buying items that didn't fit because they were cheap, whether dress or casual.
As for shorts, if I'm mowing or outside at 85 degrees or warmer I'd better have shorts on. Just too hot for me. On vacation in Florida? Shorts!
Henleys look better than normal tees after your 40s, this video is pretty funny actually 😂
Again, strong generalizations and opinions stated as facts. I am not over 40 myself yet, but I kind of like seeing old geezers wearing whatever they want. I gave up trying to fit in clothes-wise long ago, so I now wear what I like and feel comfortable in. You look better in clothes that you like, instead of following every trend just to fit in.
40/geezers come on…
when you're 40 you are already a "geezer" to some people
I agree 100%, a leather jacket on an older guy screams I’m trying too hard 😅 Regarding the shorts, I find it ironic that the only people that give this advice live in locales with cool to cold weather. No, LA doesn’t count as a hot weather locale. Try living in Miami for a year and I bet your opinion on shorts would change.
you define the way of dressing, not your age. Lether jacket and boots, the best combination.
I don't know, Dorian, in the heat of South Carolina from about May to September, I need my shorts.
Kenneth, that was my thinking as well. I'm in South Florida where in summer we're in the upper 90s WITHOUT humidity factored in. At those temperatures, I can't imagine covering myself up MORE.
I'm in Thailand and no shorts would kill me!
For sure. .
Apparently they don't live where it's routinely 100+ and having an outdoor lifestyle is actually a thing.
Man, I clicked on this video with an open mind, but after watching this one and the parallel video for 50+, this feels like the Logan’s Run of style advice channels... (I realize you guys may be too young to appreciate that allusion, but it fits...)
Shorts will never be taken out of the rotation
This video was hilarious, wear whatever you want to, as long as you like it, that's all that matters.
Don't let anyone tell you what you have to wear to look good.
It’s not about the age…it’s fitness and fit. And personality.
Advice for older man and not one single picture of an older man wearing anything except for the first one (an older man wearing a stupid thing probably for comedy) your advice is weak and not backed up by the images in your video.
I intend to continue wearing 90s style till my 80s.
See how you feel looking back at this when you are in your 40s. You have no right to dictate this.
I'm 53 years old and I stick with the classics.
Just wear whatever you want, makes you feel good and suits the occasion….
love you guys ! spot on !!!
It all comes down to personal preference . at 40s you don't care about others opinion but at 20s you do.
Don’t agree on the Henley’s comment. I’m a refined outdoorsman and the girls I have dated always ask me to wear them or love the way they look on me. Henleys are a layering piece. Just because you dress celebrities doesn’t mean you can dress Everyman. Everyone has their own aesthetic/ style. Brian from Hespokestyle is more my speed.
I agree, Henley's look good at any age. So long as you have broad shoulders and don't have a big pot belly. It's really a body type issue.
Johny Ricco agreed brother
I think she said that “most” couldn’t pull it off.
If the ladies are telling you they like the look keep doing it bro!
Plus Dorian wears the panties in his marriage and that's easy to notice
My half brother is 46 and in shape. Henleys look great on him. Even if you're above 40 henley can still look good on fit men.
I’m 40 and I just wear whatever is the most comfortable
Just wear what you’re comfortable with wearing. As long as it’s tidy and suits body shape. Smart and classy.
I bought my first leather jacket at 19, my 2nd Suede one at 23, a biker jacket at 29 and a shear one at 32. The biker is my favorite one at 38 and although it needs a new inner lining I don't think I'm going to toss it in 2 years time.
Also I hit the gym 3 to 4 days a week, I wear shorts sometimes in the summer and Henleys every once in a while.
Good on you man!
I have to add my voice to the choir about leather jackets-I think they look good on older men. I am 46 and love my black leather and bomber brown leather-to the point that if I am wrong than I’ll just go with being unfashionable. That said, great advice about other things!
Well said!! I'm 44 and I love wearing my Cafe racer jacket or one of my biker jackets. I don't wear them to try to look younger or anything. I wear them because I think they look good and because I love wearing them!
Wear what makes you feel good!..I'm late 40's I couldn't give a shit what people think...
I was really looking forward to this video to hear something unique. It was well thought out and presented. Unfortunately, the one thing it lacks is perspective. Being a guy just barely getting into the age bracket you are describing, or a young woman who dresses the unrealistic celebrity personalities does not lend itself well to the average Joe with a wife, career, and a few kids.
With that said, none of the things that you said about guys in their 40s, 50s, and 60s applies if they do wear these four essentials:
- Good Grooming - You should look like you care about how you look. But, don’t look like you spend your every waking hour caring about how you look. You should not care any further than your morning and evening bathroom routine. The only all day exception is moisturizer and sunblock.
- Good Health Habits - Get a good lifestyle (diet and activity level). You are not trying to be an Adonis. Embrace a certain amount of your dad-body. You earned it. Just don’t look like you flat out gave up. After all, you should look like you care more about your wife, kids, and career than you so about your abs.
- Good Tailoring - Like a good gym, you should have a good tailor. Use them both in equal amounts. Buy and own clothing that is well kept/maintained and fits well. Throw out anything that is worn out or doesn’t fit.
- Confidence - The best look is to look like you are not trying too hard without looking like you are not trying at all. Shorts, leather jackets, and Henleys are functional items, not fashion items. Wear them as such. And own the look when you do. Facial hair is your own personal or religious prerogative. Wear it because you are that style, not because that style is cool.
And, for heaven’s sake, stop dressing to impress or attract people 10, 20, and 30 years younger than yourself. Look good for you. The people your own age will be impressed and attracted to you naturally.
Shorts were good enough for the Eighth army and the Afrika corps. Good enough for those badasses, good enough for me.
I live in the humid south so shorts in the summer are a must. I'm in shape so I feel confident in shorts. I'll go with a good fit just above the knee, nice t-shirt, no show socks, and a leather or canvas solid color shoe. Style while trying to stay cool. Watch and sunglasses for accessories.
I’m 38. One of my favorite jackets is a black, asymmetrical Belstaff Moto jacket (The Ivy) and I get compliments from men and women all the time. Sucks I have to throw it away now 😔
I am 61 y/o and 💪 lift 4 times a week. I put a lot of effort into staying fit, but time catches up with all of us. Although I agree with this video, It’s what under the clothes that matters the most
dont skip leg day bruh.
@@miloc3103 LOL!!
...because when you turn 40 there is no chance of overheating from wearing long pants anymore? When it is hot outside I wear shorts. Period.
word...i CANNOT wear pants when it's 95....sometimes fashion is just nonsense
When your life revolves around a hunting dog, upland brush pants and gun vest with your dog accessories, phone pouch, remote collar lanyard clip and leash are your go-to. Your biggest concern is preventing dogfights and cat-whacking.
The guy saying no shorts at 30-40, okay guess I’ll be wearing suede dress pants in the Australian summer heat, lmao.
Man this is harsh. I love henleys, shorts, and my leather motorcycle jacket.
Same!! My wife thinks I look sexy in henleys and I always get compliments when I wear them. Why Ashley gotta hate on em like that?
@@gentsensecalebsmith7292 Maybe you're in that 1% of men that look good in henleys according to her hahaha
Hence the word, “Maybe” here. Send us a picture and let’s see!
@@MensFashioner where do I send them to?
If you like them, then wear it. Its just someones opinion. Other people will like them. Personally, i hate suede jackets, each to their own. Don't be a shop dummy, have your own style that you like & feel good in.
You 40 plus guys... you do you boo! You've earned it.
OK one thing I can't agree on is the shorts...I am in fantastic shape for being 41 and wearing shorts in the hot desert summers in Vegas is something I can't get rid of.
I just hit 40 last month. Although I agree with you on the broader idea, that certain fashion items are more suitable for certain age brackets. I respectfully disagree on some details, particularly the leather jacket and the Henley. 40 is just a number. We age differently. We have different personalities and body types. What looks good on some doesn’t look good on others and so on. I became 40 on January. So it’s ok if I wore a leather jacket on December, but it’s not ok in January?! Doesn’t make much sense. Still I thank you for the great content. We’re not going to agree 100% on all topics , but I still enjoy the channel. I take what I like and works for me, and leave what doesn’t.
How come almost all over 40 videos depict men with some jacket or some sort "second layer". what if you live in a hot country?
I know exactly what you mean. Where I live, I’m done with layers by March. I just try to visualize the style without the extra layers and do the best I can.
Polo shirts are nice. Or button down dress shirts with sleeves rolled up like they do in the military. I need to learn how to roll up my longer shirt sleeves.
A friend of mine put it like this: My jacket is where I put all the stuff I need - it is the man's equivalent to a woman's purse. If you live in a hot country you simply wear a thin jacket. Like Don Johnson in Miami Vice.
I look at these videos as guidelines, not immutable laws. I favor the Henley as a dressier choice over a plain t-shirt...
Henleys to me are nicer cooler weather long sleeve shirts.
Agree, I rather wear a Henley than a tee.
I'm 42 this year still wearing plain color hoodie (gray/black) and still skateboarding.
As stated in a previous comment, most anything worn with confidence looks good regardless of age
I’m glad I watched this before my hawaii trip. Tossing out my shorts and only packing jeans & trousers to avoid looking “funny & sad”. Can’t wait for the compliments on my style!
I don't think I want to take advice from someone judging me for wearing shorts. It makes me glad that I'm a loner. This has to be the weirdest thing a human being could ever even think, let alone say out loud for others to understand how stupid you are. Do people really judge others to that degree? Check this out, I collect shoes. My calves have really expensive extremely impressive tattoo portraits on them, and my ankles are sexy. I actually wear shorts only for like 3 months out of the year, no shirt.
Hilarious 😆
Lmao 🤣
I'm 47 bald and handsome with my grey and black beard ❤️
I love my leather jackets all types, I love my shorts but I always have them covering half my knee caps
U just reminded me that I don't have any henleys left.gotta buy some ❤️
But one thing I never wore is a body hugging tee. Always hated them even when I was in my 20s❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wear what u are comfortable in
Lmao you guys are killing it with the over 40 combacks
If this presenter is an older man, then I’ve been dead for 20 years. I’m glad Ashley’s doing her own thing.
I'm all in favour of avoiding ridicule and excess, but your whole tone here in this video is ageist and very, very conventional (conformist, conservative also come to mind).
Sticking to the classics is all very well for men who don't care, who wouldn't know a cargo pant from a dinner jacket and who probably need to have whole outfits already prepared in their wardrobe because the wouldn't know how to get dressed otherwise.
But there are men who have taste out there. And they probably won't accept advice from a very opinionated, "bubbly" and impatient person of the opposite sex anyway. Even less so when this person is trying to strip their style from any trace of personality.
Okay Ash and Dorian.. I've been getting an unusual amount emails and comments about all this shorts business and what my thoughts are on the matter. I'll have my opinion piece up next week. :) Hope you're both staying healthy!
Hahah, good luck! Who knew it’d be so controversial??
@@MensFashioner obviously not you young ignorant ones.
Wear what you like and when you want to wear it. Does not matter if you're not impressing anyone - be comfy.

crocs were not mentioned, great success :)
They shouldn't be worn by anyone in any age group.
We squeeked by on that one.
Wearing some watching this video
Shorts are a must, just don't wear cargo shorts or big baggy basketball shorts unless you are working out. Even then they are questionable!!
Agreed
I like your style . Thanks for the info.
Function over fashion. If your concerned over what someone thinks you most probably lack confidence. I know if I had broom stick arms like the gentleman in this video I'd probably lack a lot of confidence
Yeah the Henley topic is really questionable. Many types of clothing don’t look right if you’re really out of shape. It seems a bit extreme to throw out a good Henley. I thought I was doing well to purchase a nice 50 dollar Henley in the “older” section of the department store. I thought I was upgrading. They are good enough for Daniel Craig and those of us who have his basic physique in our late 40s.
Shorts are t-shirts for your southern half. Avoid cargos, denim shorts, baggy shorts, cutoffs or haven forbid anything too short, and I think shorts are perfectly acceptable casual summer wear at any age. Being visibly uncomfortable and sweaty is not a good look either.
Appreciate the honesty
Hopefully by your 40s you’ve come to some important realizations. Know thyself, be thyself. An authentic aura is unmistakable and when it comes to clothes, wearing the ones you like, feel good in, and not requiring external validation will have you naturally looking your best. Some might define it as “owning it.” Further, as you mature you realize most people are the lead role in their own personal play - they aren’t thinking about you as much as you think about yourself. Surprisingly you are a much smaller blip on their radar than you think - and this extends to your socks or jacket too. As for people who do monitor and notice all the other little things about other people, evaluate those things, and decide what these other people should or should not be doing - you learn they are best to avoided or at least ignored.
You may feel your best in what you're wearing, but that doesn't mean you look your best.
