men our age should NEVER wear a baseball hat backwards.. it looks ridiculous..
Or forwards very much for that matter.
Heck it looked ridiculous 25 years ago! Lol
why to use Forward is ridiculous? that is the Right way to use it No?
Does a personal opinion, not an argument
@@sergiocorrea63 sure, in the right context. Just often worn when it shouldn't be.
Great list! Kind of goes with the jeans, but those "dad sneakers" for lack of a better term. Those unisex 2000 era trainers time for an upgrade.
Older people have foot problems.
And that is what is trending now...baggy fits, court classics- style sneakers, etc from fashion companies.
I'm a 59 yo Caveman and you taught me a lot.Thank you.I really love your channel.Keep it coming.
Thank you very much!
I’m 57. I love wearing a nice baseball style hat regularly, and I shave my almost bald head.I travel with a wicked nice Frye leather backpack, classiest pack I’ve ever seen.
Good Morning John
Always Look Forward to Your Fashion Videos .
I’m 60 and I am always Conscious of My Appearance. Love The Channel !
Legend .
Thank you!
Bald guy here. As soon as I started losing it in my late 30's I started clipping the whole thing shorter and shorter until I just clip it every few days with no guard now. It saves a fortune on barber costs, the time to get to a barber, *always* looks neat, doesn't need drying after a shower or swimming and shows you have the confidence to not care what others think of your hair. I sometimes wonder what I would do if offered the chance to get my hair back. But in my 50's now I really don't think I would go back to having hair. I certainly wouldn't pay the ridiculous cost of many treatments. It's who I am now. It's part of me and I don't see a need to change it.
Well said!
I grew mine again,for a few months, just to see how I would look.A friend who says it like it is, told me I look like a middle aged guy desperate to regain his youth haha
I'm a 42yr old bald man an I approve this message 👌 lol....completely agree sir.
Great material as always and FYI I’m NOT in violation of any of these… FIT is still and will always remain KING!
Digging the shirt you're wearing in this video, that is the epitome of casual cool. Thanks for your high quality and very helpful videos!
Thank you!
@40 Over Fashion - Now that I’m closing in on 69 years of age I’m hoping for a spin-off channel - say something like, “70 JustUnder Fashion.” I will declare that I am, without question, the most stylish gentleman in my small town (population: 76,000). No “Dad Jeans,” Crocs, cargo-shorts, ball-caps, or flip-flops. I am horrified how people present themselves (men & women) IN PUBLIC(!!) and generally go out of my way to wear something nice - as most men did “back in the day.” Thank you, John, for your continued efforts at educating & influencing.
Style doesn't change much for 70-year olds than plus-forty. Don't wear collarless tees - a polo shirt is always better. Wear slacks out of denim rather than actual jeans if your body doesn't suit jeans anymore. Wear better clothes all around, quality-wise. And definitely own both a summer and a winter sport coat - tweed/wool for winer, and something light for summer. Never wear white socks, shortsleeved dress shirts or acrylic anything. Keep your shoes classic and we'll polished and yourself well-groomed including tending to nose/ ear hairs and frequent hair cuts - never longer than 6 weeks between barber visits. Grooming becomes more important the older people get.
@@lisbetsoda4874 - I agree on all points.
You’re very welcome! Thank you for watching!
I use a backpack, Samsonite, which is smart and functional. I agree with the 'no straps' part for a professional look. Keep up the good work, John.
Thank you Simon!
I slick my hair back under a fedora. I have 5 different patterned hairs so I can match it to my daily outfit.
I am a backpack guy (55 yro). My office is at home, but for times I need to go into the office downtown, I need EVERYTHING, and no messenger bag is going to haul it all. 100% agree there are many many professional looking choices.
Trust me you don't need a backpack. The biggest thing that takes up space is your laptop. All the rest of this stuff is just junk. Trust me.
I’am with you as a friend of mine once once said take everything you need for the entire day and the rest will fall in place. Sometimes practicality is more important especially when it comes to work.
I go with nice flip flops from surf shops. In Northern California, especially in the valley, it gets well over 100 in the summer. Shoes just don't cut it. I've spent many years at the lakes up here, it's just a lifestyle like surfing is down south. If I'm headed to a show or dinner, then that's totally different.
I am sorry for sounding old fashioned but backpacks are for backpacking. Men carry bags, boys wear them. Backpacks and even satchels crease your shirt and leave a wear mark on your suit, like a seatbelt does on knits. Especially if in sales or influencing your can use your bag/briefcase to anchor your position where you are visiting, for example in real estate brokerage I would always leave my bag in the kitchen/family dining area so I could return there, people buy insurance and funeral packages in the sitting room, friends talk in the kitchen. I just think a quality briefcase of any sort suggests you are carrying something important, no one knows it's only got a cheese sandwich in it.
Another good video, John. I bought some jeans from one of the online made-to-measure stores, and they fit way better than my comfy old college jeans (but the old ones are still good for just chillin'). Your content is always relevant to us mature (59 yo) guys that still care about our appearance. Keep 'em coming.
Thank you Rob!
Sandals should not be worn out to dinner ( not talking fast food) and pajamas shouldn’t be worn out to any meals .
I'm not in to backpacks, for all the reasons you mentioned, but that one you showed does look nice. Great video
Thank you!
Fantastic video John! We always need these reminders…nothing aggravates me more than seeing guys in their house with hats on!! Especially in meetings for work…. It’s inexcusable. #legend
Thanks John, great video , I live in Houston and if you come wake around here it looks like dudes just gave up on themselves , Newbalance sneakers and cargo shorts everywhere or in the best case , the 5x sized jeans
Yikes!
I’m in my early 20’s but I love watching your videos
I usually hate the long ads, but this time the Ezri backpack does look different and very nice.
Got the backpack.. My leather backpack looks funny when not fully full... With the discount code and the 4 easy payments options it doesn't damage my pocket too hard 😊
Thanks for commenting!
Love this channel, John knows his stuff. Always thought flip flops were ridiculous. Going to get me some nice shoes like John wears though.
That backpack is a must have!
So nice! Thanks for watching!
As always spot on John. Have a Great Sunday 👍
Thanks Andy!
extremly cool shirt, John👌
Thank you!
* Legend * Spot on as always, John. I live in a small UK town, and guys style hasn't progressed beyond slouchy jeans,chunky trainers and sports logo tees. It's a sad state and I'm glad I grew beyond it
Thank you Steve!
People arround me (I live in Shanghai, China) tend to think stereotypically you guys in the UK are all dressed stylish. It's interesting to hear that this is not true. But that's why you stand out from the crowd. Cheers!
@@fblm640 Maybe stylish in the big cities, but small towns are like the land that style forgot! Some guys make zero effort,and as a result look old before their time
I too am from the UK and I agree. So many people have completely forgotten how to dress.
@@fblm640 I thought the same as well
Thank you John. On a side note, I really like the shirt you were wearing.
Thank you!
I have learned so much about style from this and other videos to break away from the jeans and t-shirt look. When I went on vacation I was judging the in style vs out of style men at the airport. Well, me and about four other men were dressed correctly, all the others were dressed bad to God awful.
If the men had a shirt, pants, and shoes on of ANY kind, they dressed "correctly". The only incorrect move would be a streaker.
#legend That backpack looks great. Great tips I especially like the shave it / buzz it if you’re losing it. The comb-over isn’t fooling anyone. It’s hard to accept in your 20s and 30s but the fact is that bald truly is beautiful. Own it and you’ll feel great about yourself. Also when you buzz cut your hair it will take 10 years off your appearance. That is as long as you follow John’s advice and up your overall style game. Have a great Sunday !!!
Thanks Bob!
I wear a hat outside all the time for sun protection and low tree branches. Switched to an Outback style from golf hats and have had dozens of compliments. A nice fitting long sleeve sport shirt and black jeans and leather shoes is my California dressy causal upgrade from Polo shirts.
Great tips John - thanks to you and your channel, I dress better at 47 than I have ever dressed in my life - thanks for all you do!
Thank you John for the reminder . Legend.
Thank you for watching!
Legend; I just received my “Slick Collar” today! Pumped!! 💪🏽✊🏽👊🏽👍🏽
Thanks John, & best wishes always my friend!
Cheers!
Love this video, so very helpful
I admit I do wear hats a lot. Never do it on dates though. Not insecure about my head or hair (which I don't have any) I think it's a security and comfort thing more than anything else.
Yeah, I wear hats every day. I just can't stand the sun in my eyes. Nothing wrong with an awesome hat!
I have a similar dilemma … can’t get myself to walk into work without a baseball hat… I never do it outside of work tho.
Brief case is a better Idea to hold than any kind of back pack. leather for sure .
Love my sandals and in such hot, humid environment of Central America, they are a gift; but I use them a lot less these days. The other areas I got them covered. Cool stuff John.
All great tips I've been doing for years now. My only thing is that I don't wear baggy jeans but do wear a relaxed fit because I have big thighs. Another great video!
Always awesome info. You bring us, middle-aged guys, hope.. Thanks so much for your amazing show,
Thanks for watching Jim!
Totally agree about the flip flops and sliders in public. I live in the u.k and it seems to have become a thing here, but it just looks lazy. I am 60, and still have a reasonable amount of hair, but during the lockdowns I shaved my head and looked okay, so if I start to lose more hair, then I am confident enough to shave my head again. Great vid thanks
Two-minute long EZRI Infomercial begins at 3:00. "It slices, it dices, isn't it amazing!"
More! More! More!..........Flamin Legend!!
Great video John! It'd be great to see a list of your outfits on each video as I'm always curious where you got them.
Thanks for the feedback! This shirt is from UNTUCKit.
@@40OverFashion Thanks John!
Thanks.
Great piece!
Love the backpack. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Nice video. Some great tips. Can you please do a segment for those of us who live in hot and humid climates. Long sleeve shirts and jeans/slacks are just not the ticket for me. So what do you wear when your chilling at home and need to run to the grocery store?
Legend: you’re always on point! My old boss would say” dork caps”!
I've recently switched to trimming my head very short. I probably should have started doing this a while ago! I do need to wear a hat if I'm going to be out in the sun (to shade my head and my eyes.)
I'm not able to drive, so I walk or take public transportation to run errands - so I use a backpack A LOT. Wow, those ERZI ones look so nice! I think I need one.
Very useful video, as always.
It is true that oversize clothing will make you look old. I still have some shirts (bought a long time ago) a little bit oversized, but if I wear them under a sweater, who knows?
Flip flops? I like to wear them at the pool.
Exactly!
Great tips. Thank you.
You’re welcome Wayne! Thanks for watching!
Great video. I was actually voted “Best Dressed” in highschool 3 years in a row! Lmao. I still am not anywhere near your level of style, so im glad we never went to school together. My #1 rule has always been never wear jogging pants outside the house. 😳
Great message! I have an add-on response to your #1 rule: Never wear jogging pants outside the house IF you're not actively jogging or exercising.
A few years ago I saw some older dude wearing an oversized t-shirt, long flappy cargo shorts, stained college baseball hat, pale feet in flip-flops...wow. Ridiculous. Get a clue. I was staring at my own reflection off the sliding glass doors of Home Depot. Always appreciate this channel for the advice!
Appreciate your honesty! Allow me (65 yrs young) to make a few suggestions..."Modern fit" polo's, flat front pants and shorts, (no cargo) quarter zip sweaters, a couple decent watches, (Citizen Eco-drive. No batteries to change) dress casual / casual footwear, (Rockport, Cole Haan, Clarks) Cologne, (no cheap stuff) and last but not least...upgraded underwear! (Mack Weldon trunks) You'll be turning heads in no time! : ) All the best D W
Ha! Thank you for commenting!
@@markg.4246 I actually have all of these things except the upgraded underwear! Ha ha. Okay..it's next on my list. Thanks for the suggestions!
"Own it". That's this 51 yo. Uniform. Birkenstocks footwear FTW. Not changing.
Best day of my life (sort of) was buying a trimmer and buzzing my hair grade 1. Bruce Willis made bald beautiful. Thanks Bruce.
Hi John some more good practical tips thanks.
Regards Christopher Barker
You’re welcome!
Great advice!! I wear Levis 514s they seem to be just right. I'll match those with a short sleeve button down and it looks great!
Yes you're correct sir I've been wearing 514 for about 10 years.
Hello John. Thank you for another wonderful video! I agree with you in all your points here. Baseball caps, I see them everywhere on weekends. I understand if a guy needs to rush and gets something at Home Depot, but for heaven's sake, does that mean they haven't showered before leaving their house?! We need to love ourselves a little more and take care of ourselves too. Just try to dress according to the occasion. Again, thanks for a wonderful video. Wishing you a wonderful week. Stay safe and have fun. Cheers
Thank you! Cheers!
Yes. That could mean we haven't showered before leaving the house. Secret: since the pandemic I've found I only shower 2x a week now. To quote Sting: "I like the way I smell".
I dig that backpack. Very nice. Legend!
Kevin, I am glad that you mentioned being bald is not such a bad thing. I decided to shave my head right after the pandemic started and I love the look and it is so easy to maintain as well. However, I haven't had too many compliments from women about liking my "bald" look, but that is probably because I like to wear baseball caps a lot :)
My baggy jeans are great for working on my cars in the garage 🤣🤣🤣
Agree with everything but the backpack. I agree that one is better, but still makes you look like a college kid vs. junior high kid with the old style of backpack.
I'm 60 and I wear what's comfortable. People's opinions are of no concern unless they feel compelled to buy my clothes. I miss the Levis Silvertabs from back in the day. They were perfect for my legs. I wear workout shorts, baggier or stretch denim jeans, and XL tees most if not all the time. I thankfully stopped working in a shirt -n- tie job decades ago. My job doesn't require me to wear dressier clothes. Which is just as well because designers insist on making pants for guys with chop stick legs, and shirts for guys with bird chests, pipe cleaner arms, and narrow shoulders. My physique isn't made for that. I mean what's with all this slim fit stuff? It's like they've never heard of the person who spent any time in a gym. Dress pants today are for skinny people. Shopping is a frustrating experience and often a waste of my time. I don't have money for more "custom" fitted stuff. It simply costs too much. I've had this conversation with several of my friends who are active and into fitness. That includes women. No one wants to make pants with roomier thighs or shirts for bigger arms and wider shoulders at an affordable price. So shorts become the uniform of the day on weekends and jeans w/ a tee, a polo, or pull-over long sleeve top at work. No one seems to want to address clothes for the lifting athlete or bodybuilder physique.
Mate I’m calling BS on the flip flop thing, where I’m from it’s regularly over 40c (104 f) in the summer and they are almost mandatory and trust me the woman don’t care!
I never wear flip flops out. I gotta be prepared if I ever have to run from the cops. 🤣
Haha!
This is great content as usual. Hope your subscribers increase every day. 👍🏻
Thank you very much!
Legend. You should do an Ezri giveaway (hint, hint).
Sperry has gone a long way from just their basic Topsider boat shoes. They have canvas and sueded, nubuck looking options that come in a variety of colors as well as a variety of "boot" heights. Many are water proof. They might be a great alternative to sneakers and flip flops. Of course, where you live certainly will have an impact on your style and color selections. I recommend checking Sperry
I'm a surfer who has lived near the beach in Southern California all my life. Nothing worse than seeing a non-beach dude wearing flip-flops with pasty white feet and legs. Major no-no. And you nailed it with the "no dad jeans" and "no dad hat" policy!
Great advice sir...How short our belts should be worn when buckled though??...thanks for your advice
Most belts come with 5 holes, so I'd go for the buckle in the middle hole. Gives you a bit of movement for Christmas and slim down in summer
Hey John, what's your take on jeans for us bigger dudes? I'm a 46x32 and Levi's 541's have been my go to for a couple years now as I've been working my way back into better shape (started up at a 52 waist). Any other ideas for the big and tall guys?
Exactly.. I feel ya bruddah!
YES, ditch the F-ing hats guys! It has always been such a huge pet-peeve of mine to go out to dinner at a decent place, look around and see half of the adult men wearing hats. Rule of thumb: If the restaurant doesn't have a drive-thru, you need to take off your hat.
Hahaha yep in UK backwards baseball hats are de rigeur along with all black/grey tracksuits. 🤮
Have you done anything for retired (not working) men ? Suits, dress shoes, ties etc. not required. The danger is loafing round all day/year in shorts and t-shirt. Regards from England.
Thanks for the tip, but Ezri isn't applying the discount code from your link. Thanks
Interesting Gregory. I just tried it and it totally worked for me. Once you add it to the cart and go to check out, there is blue script to add a discount code.
Are straight cut jeans better than slim? I find slim cut a bit feminine for men in our early 40s?
I prefer slim. I suppose it depends on the brand, but sometimes the cut of straight jeans can get a little too floppy down towards your shoe. Not always though.
Well done sir 👌🏼
Thank you!
Legend..
Thanks
Thank you!
Went golfing with friend. Was told collars required, friend no-go with t-shirt.
Luckily I had extra Polo in car. Stunned us. Collars beats t-shirt in public.
For me, t-shirts for home, not beyond since that golfing day.
Great video!
Greetings from #Venezuela!
Thank you!
the only time I wear hats is in the bush camping or hunting and even though I have a full head of hair (52yrs) , I keep it shaved to blade No.1
#LEGEND I'm improving everyday with these videos!
Thanks for the tips from a "younger" 63 year old! 🤣
As for the receding hairline, have accepted it 😭, and have gone shorter. The best part is all the time and money I save... haven't used a comb, brush, hair dryer, or hair products in about 20 years! Just shampoo, lather, rinse, and towel dry! Voila! 🤗
Will keep watching! 😀
Thank you!
Great video!! It takes so little effort to not look like a slub. Folks are also so fat that it seems they have just given up on everything. It's sad. But your videos show, to stand out and look like an adult, takes no time. It's funny, teaching I show films and videos of America from the 40's-early 70's, folks dressed SO MUCH better. And they were VERY slim. We could learn from our fathers and grandfathers. Thankfully, we have you!
the book "wheat belly" goes into this topic and why the obesity has grown so much
They smoked a cartoon of cigarettes every three days, couldn't taste anything, and died of lung cancer at 57, which is why social security was set at 62. So light up and be skinny and cough up a lung. The body is made to be able to hold excessive weight.
I don't care what other people think about how I dress. Too much simping and caring about what women might think. Man up!
Ha! Thanks for watching!
Any jeans suggestions for guys who "don't skip leg day" at the gym, but would like something that's a little more tapered below the knees?
Yeah, try some athletic tapered, or athletic slim. They have more room in the seat and thighs.
One might be surprised at how inexpensive it is to get pants altered. I have had this problem all my life, and I have a person now who alters my pants and it has made all the difference in the world. It does add to the cost of the pants, but in my mind it has been worth it to get that pants that fit perfect instead of just well.
I know for sure I am guilty about the jeans. I buy them from wal-mart or target cause they are affordable. I just need to go the extra step and get them tailored to get that right amount of tapper down the leg. As for shoes, I'm set on boots for sure. But daily footwear, I'm lacking in that area. I do love the comfort of my K-swiss shoes but I have been checking out the options on Thursday Boots for some of their daily footwear. That clean minimal white sneaker looks amazing. Just need to save up a bit so I can get a couple different pairs.
Walmart sells slim fit jeans. Slim fit jeans don't need to be tapered
@@richardpuckett8127 I'll check them out. I just had the mindset of slim fit meaning skinny jeans and never gave them a chance. I'll see how the slim fit looks and feels though.
@@brandonsmith479 slim fit just means tapered. Jeans like Alpha wears are slim fit.
An ad for the bag Co.....
Much appreciate watching your videos! Although the contents of this video is as out dated as the fore mentioned dad jeans. Would be nice to see contents that are risky, progressive, not so safe and siloed. Like people’s pallets, their fashion flavor senses have expanded and are no longer satisfied with just vanilla. Please receive this with the utmost respect. Anxiously waiting to see something from you with more flavor.
back packs are for leisure or casual travel...leave it at home when you are conducting business....be a pro....don't look like an overaged college kid.....
I shave my head too. I miss my hair but I do like the bald look. Living in Seattle though if your bald 👨🏽🦲 you still need a hat. I try to wear flat caps to keep my head warm and in the summer to protect my head I wear a light straw trilby because I know I’m too old to wear baseball hats unless I’m doing yard work.
The cap statement. Wearing a dress hat can add style to a bald head.
Hey John, you're making great content here, thanks so much...
It does make me a little sad though...I'm wearing flip flops on the daily because of "toe nail problems"🤢 so it's even more "gross" !!! and summers right here😔
Oh wow is me....
Can you wear a tie clip while wearing a vest?
Yes, but not necessary.
Hi John. They aren't a personal favorite of mine but what about Birkenstocks ? I don't know if it's a trend but it seems of late I have seen more guys ditching their flip flops and opting for Birkenstocks either with or without socks instead . Peace. 🙂
NEVER with socks. A man always looks better in a loafer or boat shoe or sneaker than in sandals of any sort. If you MUST, then Birkenstock are obviously better than flip flops, except for in a public shower. But your feet must look nice, including welltended feet and nails.
I’m still not a fan.
My feet get sweaty and stinky in regular shoes. I tend to wear Birkenstock all year round. More than one pretty young lady has made positive comments about my Birks.
I love my baseball hat...!
Agree with every point. Especially the flip flops. NOBODY wants to see your feet!
Thanks Keith!
Great points. Flip-flops are so easy and comfortable. They’re hard to give up. However, it’s time to grow up. I’m no longer a Toys’R’Us kid anymore.
#legend
I prefer AG 👖 jeans. They’re pricey around $220 a pair. They look great. The down side is they don’t last long around 2 years because they rip in the crouch area.
Dad Jeans in the pictures shown were in style when I was in High School 🥲
I have a request, if you can help us,because I’m pretty sure that I’m not the only one,I had a head injury and now a metal plate that left a really big dent plus I’m losing hair so I decided to shave my head and accept my age but I really need your advice in what to wear on formal occasions, like weddings or church, because I’m not sure if bandannas are ok or something else, if you can help I will appreciate it.
