Skinny to slim chinos/jeans, shoes and boots over most trainers (maybe not 574 NB legacy), single colour items, no massive logos/branding on anything, no sportswear except for gym trips.

A hugely underrated one is stop colour matching. Just because you have a red t shirt, doesn’t mean your shoes need to be red too. Use earthy tones, especially during the day. Darker at night.

Basically just look at how Europeans dress, as we have the best style.

Dressing age appropriate is a thing whether we want to accept it or not. Yeah, you don’t have to go dressing like Mr. Roger’s but running around dressed like Big Meech at 50+ is crazy.
Man just learn to care less. Dress for a purpose is understandable. But if you dont have a reason to care you not tryna attract women, you not tryna make new friends, you not tryna find clients, you not at work, etc. Then why does it matter? Dress how you want

Chelsea boots, tapered jeans, air force ones, leather and suede bomber jackets, loafers, leather designer shoes. Henley shirts.


Im 43, I only wear a few classic Jordan's in usually running around or chilling somewhere. I rock designer shoes and shirts. Gstar are my go to jeans, great colors and fit. I still rock timberlands


I like looking like a fresh OG. But I rock my Asics and New Balances on regular day. I want to cop some of those sweater 2pc short sets too.


These type of shirts are very fly to me.

His question about ripped jeans is valid. Don't do it past 40 unless you aren't going anywhere and are doing it for comfort.
Hot take: I don't wear jeans anymore period. I wear track suits pants or khakis.
Tracksuits and track suit adjacent stuff is made for the 40 and over crowd.
