Please Don’t Be Dressing/Acting Like This When You’re 43, Brehs

[Sex Luthor]

OG had a backpack and a clout bag lmaoooo

Damn near choked himself trying to take that shyt off

If dude wanted to fight he could've washed him while he was struggling to take his gear off

Nah, you can be in your 40s or even 50s and still look fine with sneakers, tees, and other gear associated with a younger look. This dude just doesn’t know how to dress.

It’s when these older cats start chasing trends - fanny packs, ripped jeans, etc. - that they start looking corny.

Yep I def wear T shirts jeans and sneakers but I’ve never been a fan of ripped jeans. Them bags he had on didn’t make sense. The outfit was kinda big but I ain’t tripping off it.

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Breh nobody is doing that anywhere. Idk maybe it's a left over from the kevin samuels era but alot of these dudes believe successful people wear suits or business casual everywhere.

Hell I work with folks younger than me that dress horribly. One Rican dude be rocking polo styled shirts with basketball shorts. One white dude wearing button ups with and 1 basketball shorts. Older white dude wearing graphic tees and jeans. Imagine trying to walk around in North Carolina summers wearing a full on suit We be about to pass out with tees and shorts on.

In NYC around my way we called it Suicide Murder.

May I ask TS , as I will be 42 on Thursday (#LeoGang) , how should people my age be dressing. I would appreciate dropping some pics and links for the attire a husband and father of 2 should be wearing at my age .
And no I’m not trying to be sarcastic, just wanting an opinion

Good question. For me personally I turn 42 in November. I basically did a wardrobe overhaul last year basically took more of the styles that Idris Elba wears. It works great for me and I get a lot of complements.

“Clout bag” lmao

That’s what these stupid ass kids call it. Sounds better than a nap sack lol

So i showed that clip to wifey to get her opinion
She thought the yellow backwoods backpack was cute..
She found one on eBay for $30 and bought it

Anyway as for fashion advice
A few years ago i straight up started dressing like Hans Gruber

On nights and weekends like Bullitt era Steve McQueen

In the gym or doing yardwork, i rock shorts with 3" seams
No fukks given

Our timing is pretty close. This is how I dressed in 2019:

Young Punks Of The Coli Step In And Rate An “Older Guy’s” Casual Clothes​

Brehs, am I “that older guy” who is doing too much when I dress casual? Be honest

Spoiler

Now I dress like this:

I’m On My Way To Larry Holmes Gardens(pic)​

I dress like this every day and I love it. But I never knew how I actually looked until this morning when I caught my reflection in the storefront window and was legitimately shocked. I think it’s time brehs. I’ve heard all about the illustrious Larry Holmes Gardens and I’m ready to accept my fate

What do y’all call this attempt?

I call it sad. Something was wrong with breh. Not funny to me.

 

[Jesus Is Lord]

For all of the people out there talking about appropriate dressing for older heads, who are you tell people how they should dress?

Brehs can dress however they want hahahaha! It may seemed bugged out to some of us, however, that’s their personality. If they wanna dress “hood” so what LOL! It’s mad funny but I just smh at them and do the Kanye shrug.

The days of dressing the part is over. Anybody can run up in brooks or RL and charge some slacks or a suit. It's the reason why these days people will straight up ask what you do or where you work followed by more probing questions.

Either you're successful or not cause success these days have many looks. Dressing in suits or business casual if you not coming from somewhere where its required for no reason will just make you look weird.
