Agree with almost everything you recommended here…except the white pants. If I wore white pants they would be ruined within 30 minutes, guaranteed. Magnet for disaster. 😂
I have to agree with nice trouser..i bought mtm pair of grey flanel gurkha trouser and its look amazing for my body type.2 days ago i go to cinema and couple woman come at me,asking and give me compliment on my trouser
Fit is king, a buddy of mine was wearing his pants way too long 'til I pointed that it didn't look sharp; 23 pants were fixed and now the dude looks smarter. Thanks John and enjoy life amigo.
@ Juan Arce, It has been my experience over many decades, that male acquitances will rarely initiate seeking your opinion, but they will ask for it when they tire of the woman in their life repeatedly commenting on your dress style. But they are not compliments, they are gently nagging that the female in your life expects you to act on. But I have never found that any male resented the advice that I gave them when it was simply based on facts, not personal criticism. Phil.
Great video. I’m going to an annual conference today and for a week. This was a great pep talk for me. I just lost 70 pounds and want to make an impact with friends I haven’t seen in a year. I don’t really care what people think about me but I do want to make that impression. Thanks John.
Nice video. Good grooming Good clothes with a good fit and appropriate to the situation , looking like you care. An air of confidence with with who you are Gives the expensive look. Big brands without the above, makes a look of overcompensating
Great point John. It's taken a few years but now my entire wardrobe is fit focused. Dress, casual and gym. I owe you and several other channels a HUGE thanks!
Just a word of warning regarding those tan brogues. Using Loake’s own tan coloured leather cream will seriously darken the original light tan colour of your shoes, leaving them closer to a light brown colour. This is something to keep in mind if you want to keep the original colour, especially if you don’t need another pair of brown shoes.
I don't go out in a dress up mode with an untucked shirt anymore. You might consider doing a segment on how belts help make the look and that quality & appropriate (look expensive) belt buckles are also a bit of a statement accessory.
Agreed on the blue and gray pants. They are kind of like my business uniform and I like to have different shades and patterns. I recently took all of my jeans back to my tailor since I lost a few more pounds and got in better shape this year. He tapered them more and got the length to that sweet spot right at the top of the shoe. I live in Pennsylvania so I am all about the layering in the fall and winter!
Legend. Great tips. Layering is so important when you get the chilly and cold mornings with warm ups during the day in the middle Atlantic states. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.
I’m telling you John, why you don’t work for a men’s fashion magazine is beyond me. You always look sharp. I always ask myself, "Now what would John wear?"
Well, some of the thing you mentioned look expensive ONLY when they're expensive. No watch look expensive unless the other person knows it's an expensive watch like Rolex and others. So, if you want to look expensive but can't afford a 10K watch, go without. Jackets. Well, it's not a completely different story here. To find a really good jacket that fits you well on a budget is one hell of a challenge. One tip I'd give - buy expensive, high quality, nice fitting cloth, but utilise sales. Sometimes one can find like 70% off.
I wear watch by Fossil that I get compliments on every single time I wear it. It’s like a secret weapon and you’re right John…small details like that make all the diff.
Great video John, I have friends who asked me, "How do you look good and I must have money." My response is "Shop smart ." Recently, I purchased a pair of brown suede shoes from eBay which was in new condition at a great price (less than $85.00). Now, I just purchased a used Hugo Boss Blazer (in great condition as well) and negotiated a price as well.
Totally agree with everything you said, first I’ll go by the white pans… not everybody can wear them… watches look good in man where the combination of the shirt and pans, but prefers cheap watch like Seiko couture, invicta instead of the Rolex, also there is a Citizen Ecco drive, there is a color, I like the stain steels brazalete in gold of silver it doesn’t matter the face color… the shoes agree also, not the brant but have to be clean and always cause good attention and expensive… not everybody can afford a personality and stylist like that, finally the color, sometimes the color used is not appropriate for adult and it made us look ridiculous… black and white is always accepted
John, great information per usual. You present well and very inspiring to continue looking better ourselves. Amazing how the right fit, being groomed, and the best style makes a positive statement.
I really enjoyed this video. As a pastor (messenger) I have always tried to present message and messenger as attractively as possible (color/style coordinates even down to my underwear, haha). I was pleased to see a couple of outfits I wear being worn by you. One thing I have problems with is the pocket square. I can usually do the presidential or “puff” style, but I haven’t done very well with the three pointed style you have in this video. BTW I have found Addis golf pants to be both stylish and comfortable. I pair mine (30/30] with a nice shirt and v neck sweater and a nice pair of loafers. Thanks for all your suggestions
You won me with the sports coat. It would be ideal to pack into a carry-on bag when you do a lot of Business travel wearing a plain navy blue suit. It may be available in Australia now that the shops are allowed to open for very restricted hours. But it is seeing items like this that makes your channel a MUST VIEW for an old LEGEND. Phil.
Is Viscose fabric suitable to wear in hot weather? My Plaid Trousers are a Bay Blue color made of Polyester and Viscose so truly curious. When I researched it everything pointed out to it being able to wick away moisture and possibly keeping you cooler than Cotton in some ways. Love your content! Honestly I'm one of your younger viewers but not too far from 40. I comment once in awhile but when I happen to reach that number I'll start watching more religiously for sure. I grew tired of certain garments so have been upgrading to look more professional yet still relaxed. Anyway sorry for the rant I appreciate what you do for the older gentlemen and no matter what age everyone can learn something valuable from these videos whether on fashion or overall lifestyle so keep up the good work!
Good video. Can't pull off the white pants though. It is what it is. But curious which jacket is that. Tried to go on a site with the link but maybe my screens too small since I'm on my phone...
Hi John! Terrific style tips as always. Have you ever thought about or done a video on just simple colors of clothing to wear for a richer, classier look? Maybe I missed it, however for a semi-casual or light dress look that isn’t too over or under-dressed, I like classic colors like maroon, forest green, khaki, and royal blue. With those colors, a good tailor, and the correct match of gear and accessories you really can’t go wrong. Thanks for another good video.
Great video, but mild disagreement on the white pants. That might be an easier look to pull off out West in a warmer climate, but not here in the Midwest where it will be snowing soon.
My man, John, looking sharp dressed and fresh as he wanna be 🤜🏻🤛🏾👍🏾👍🏾😀🙂😏. Great topic btw. You can absolutely look pricey without breaking the bank. I'm definitely breaking tradition.... and going to Sunday Morning worship in White pants.👍🏾👍🏾 Legend.
Thank you for all of your videos, I truly enjoy them. One question from this video, what is your take on smart watches that are a little bit more "upscale". I noted your dislike of the "normal" ones, but I have a Movado Smart Watch that is still trendy and looks great with suits, etc. Thanks.
@@40OverFashion No problem at all. It does! They have a few different models. Also other companies jumped on board with their "upscale" smart watches, such as Fossil.
Legend. Hope all goes well. Was in UK for a bit of time and am catching up on all my youtube videos. Q. Where did you purchase the grey and blue slacks ?
Among the many things, I totally agree on a good wrist watch which elevates your overall look. As for me I personally say No to wearing white Jeans, that don't work for me.
Great work John. Those layered shots near the end of the video were awesome, only problem is that here in Australia we are moving into Summer so might have to hold off on those sweaters for now. The white pants might work well in the warmer weather though. Cheers.
Hey John! Great video I practice all of these tips since high school except for the white pants. Can't rock those after labour day lol. Those Public Rec outfits look great but for $140 CDN for the everyday pants are crazy prices 😳 I'm 6'2" 200lbs athletic/muscular build and I can buy an Old Navy set and rock it hard and look fresh daily 😎 Keep up the great work brother 🤙🏽
I realized by experience that women always look at shoes… size, fabrics and specially if they’re clean! And V sweaters are a most have! They easy to match and you will always look suave… as Bond does 🤷🏻♂️
I think tucking in your shirt makes the biggest difference. Seems like everyone else is going untucked. I’m okay with untucked IF the shirt is meant to be worn that way. I also agree on a watch. So few guys wear one every day and it really stands out.
Hi John. I'm glad you mentioned patterned trousers as I just received a pair of blue plaid trousers from Topman (now ASOS) in the mail. I think they are more suited for spring and summer so I'll have to wait awhile to wear them. I'm also ready to dig out my dressier blazers for the upcoming holiday season. BTW I liked the black and white running shoes you had on . Brand ? Peace. : )
Love suede mid boots. Always look stylish
John, your so right. A blue blazer does it all.
Agree with almost everything you recommended here…except the white pants. If I wore white pants they would be ruined within 30 minutes, guaranteed. Magnet for disaster. 😂
Haha!
Yep I live rural and have kids. Leave them to the resort's and yacht
Totally agree on the wrist watch! It’s one accessory that makes a HUGE difference.
Top comment, there are loads of watch reviewers out there, start with Teddy Baldassarre.
Also agree with the watch suggestion, but be careful. I started viewing a few watch videos and now I’m obsessed.
I have to agree with nice trouser..i bought mtm pair of grey flanel gurkha trouser and its look amazing for my body type.2 days ago i go to cinema and couple woman come at me,asking and give me compliment on my trouser

I don't want to look expensive...I want to look priceless!!!

Nice video.
Good grooming
Good clothes with a good fit and appropriate to the situation , looking like you care.
An air of confidence with with who you are
Gives the expensive look.
Big brands without the above, makes a look of overcompensating
Great point John. It's taken a few years but now my entire wardrobe is fit focused. Dress, casual and gym. I owe you and several other channels a HUGE thanks!
You’re very welcome!
Always great advice! Most importantly keep your shoes new looking.
Oh and those shoes with a white base, use a damp dry eraser pad every time you wear them
I agree with John! Women always pay attention to watches and shoes! These are the main things that should look expensive.
Great video John, brought myself some tan Loake brogues on you advice, my first pair of premium shoes, and some dark wash denims..!! take care Dave.
Enjoy those Loakes, I'm lucky enough to live 20 minutes from where they're made so there's no excuse for me to not look sharp!
Just a word of warning regarding those tan brogues.
Using Loake’s own tan coloured leather cream will seriously darken the original light tan colour of your shoes, leaving them closer to a light brown colour.
This is something to keep in mind if you want to keep the original colour, especially if you don’t need another pair of brown shoes.
Thanks for telling me that, I don't want them turning dark brown...regards Dave
You are so right about the pants and shoes
Thanks Robert!

Thank you!
always tuck the shirt in with nice trousers and a jacket! Good tip!

Thanks about white pants. For the first time in my life, I am contemplating. Have a great day.
I bought a pair last Spring but can't get myself to wear them.
Thanks for watching!
Do it!!

So true! Legend!
I agree, if you wear dark jeans, a shirt, a sports jacket, and some dress shoes, you immediately look great.
Totally agree!
Good job 👍🏽. I like all those ideas. I use these ideas daily. A nice watch is what I like to do , I use my Apple Watch for exercise mainly.
I like the blue polo with the white vertical stripes.. 👌🏿👍🏿
