try a mix

keep a few pieces that are fashionable with the kids like bomber jackets, chelsea boots, dad hats, Adidas gear (maybe a pair or Yeezys Runners), a pair of ripped jeans,

but also don't be afraid to do grown man stuff like blazers, peacoats, turtle necks, v-neck sweaters, beach shorts and henleys in the spring/summer,

and the beauty of 2019 is the you can mix and match styles, like fitted hats/dad hats with a blazer and chinos. Or designer sneakers with suits.

As a grown man in your early 30s you are in the best position because you can ride the line between what the kids are wearing and a more sophisticated look. The problem is going too far in one direction (i.e. still dressing like Fabolous/2 Chainz or dressing like Steve Harvey or VIng Rhames).

No stanning but alotta of Lebrons looks are great at mixing grown man styles along with youthful expression.

:what:dressing nice at 30+ is easier than in your 20s...

all these designer and nice stores are made for people 30+... at 30+ thats the demograph still young enough to enjoy the lifestyle but also (or should be) stable enough to afford it..

walk into your nearest Nordstrom.. if theirs 100 people in there, I bet over 90 of them are over the age of 30..

only people under 30 who can afford designer and nice clothes are people living a mischievous life style or people buying bootleg clothes...

keep in mind youngins before you get offended at this

theirs a difference between being able to buy something and being able to afford something :ufdup:

Gotta respectfully disagree with you on this on my brother. Sneakers and sweats are something we (black men) made cool. White people call it streetwear now ain't that a bytch :stopitslime: Now should you wear that every day? No. Should you buy something you saw a rapper or ig celebrity with? No. Should you have on some loud colors or crazy designs? Again no. But you wanna be versatile enough to be able to pull off different looks and styles while making it look effortless. So you wanna be able to go different routes with it have suits, casual clothes and street gear. Also fellas just because you wear a suit doesn't mean you dress nice you gotta be able know how to put an outfit together.

Know what fits well on your frame.

Learn your style.

You can goto marshalls/ross/norstroms rack..

And if you know how to create an ensemble, will rival the look of any current house of fashion/urban trend..

Basically..its about how you rock your shyt..
