    Big thing is BE IN SHAPE. Don’t be overweight, don’t be underweight. Clothes are great, but the foundation of good appearance is physique. We need to get the diet dialed in, we need the lean mass to body fat percentage to the scientifically healthy standard.

    My wife's Real Estate team (all women, most over 50) had a get together yesterday. As the night was winding down, the conversation ended up being about spouses (who were invited but there were only 4 of us men) and several of the women remarked how I was always well dressed and put together. They specifically mentioned how I looked at the time, basic shorts and a button down. What really impressed them (although they didn't realize it) was that my shirt matched my shoes...yes, I used the "Sandwich Method". Way to go John! #LEGEND

I have maintained my look and fitness since the early days of following your advice when you had a few thousand subscribers. I’m 70 and most people think I’m in my fifties. Generally I do look better than most other guys. Not bragging, just saying your advice is on point…Thanks

    You're absolutely correct about being in shape! A physically fit man will make a simple outfit like a pair of jeans and a white T-shirt look like a tailored suit! Tucking in a shirt with a big belly just isn't visually appealing. All you're doing is bringing attention to your big belly.

    Thanks John for another great video. Your suggestion about getting your temple (your body) in shape is spot on. Three years ago, I was flirting with 190 pounds (I am 5'11" tall), and decided to change, so I went to a functional medicine doctor, learned about good nutrition (organic vegetables, grass fed meat, supplements, etc.), and today, I weigh 169 pounds (I weighed this in High School, I graduated in 1969, I am 73 years old!!), and am feeling great. I also stopped drinking about 3 months ago, and giving up that sugar allowed me to go from 180 pounds to my current 169 pounds. My clothes fit better, it is easier to work out (I do 20 minutes of yoga each morning and walk at least 1-1/2 miles per day), and if I can do it, anyone can. I urge the guys to find a good functional medicine practitioner, it will amaze you what they can do to help!! Thanks for all you do!!

    Another helpful video. To you last point, a few years ago, my wife & I were in a nightclub in the Gulf region with friends. In there were multiple others, both men & women, dancing & having fun, as you do. We noticed one guy in particular, likely retired military, about my age (early 50s at the time),dressed in a loose, untucked shirt with baggy shorts (with obligatory cargo pockets). This style (such as it is) was somewhat popular in the 90s. But in 2018, on a 50-something guy, attempting to dance with fairly attractive young ladies, it really did not work. Guys, don't do this.

    Love your vids mate.
    I always feel too puffed up with the tucked shirt / polo ~ unless it’s a suit, shirt etc.
    I try to buy Oxford cut shirts, so they don’t look like a dress 😂.
    That said; I’m usually ~ jeans and t and maybe a long t shirt or windcheater over (winter); good pair of wheels, a nice watch and the Chanel Allure / Bleu de Chanel to seal the deal!
    I do get compliments from the ladies; so I guess it kinda works. 🇦🇺

    Like it's been said - the number ONE thing you can do to look and feel better is not be overweight! If you are sittin' proper on the BMI scale, you will feel and look better! Even the best looking clothes are going to make less of an impact if you are overweight. Don't fool yourself...

    Funny, I went for stone coloured chinos today and was deciding on either sky blue or dark blue shirt. Both work obviously, but opted today for dark shirt. My influence was although I would normally wear brown shoes with this I went for some blue boat style shoes I'd just bought really well with the shirt.

    I’m not sure if I’ve posted this comment in the past; but:
    Can someone explain to me why clothing manufacturers, particularly American Eagle, are designing XS shirts for men that stand 6/2. Again, extra small size for a 6/2 man. Are manufacturers advertising the emaciated look?
    I am 5/2 and weigh 111lbs. There used to be a time when xs sport and dress shirts fit nicely. Now, they look like night shirts; and I’m relegated to kids’ wear. Sorry for the whining, really.

    • @40OverFashion
      @40OverFashion  3 місяці тому

      Yeah, it’s sort of a 50-50 thing. I’ve just been doing it to try it out. It’s a lot cleaner looking, but you can take it or leave it.

    • @johandebondt5749
      @johandebondt5749 3 місяці тому +1

      ​@40OverFashion European and middle aged myself, simple rule: pants tucked, shorts untucked. Easy. But you're right, no shorts under dress shirts too long or with slits on the sides.
      Semi classy casual summer outfits are evident: fitting khaki or any pastel colored shorts, and a nice polo or chambray/cotton/linen shirt, in a matching color like you said.

    There is no clothing company that makes shirts or pants in perfect proportions. Except for the tailor. And then only for YOUR proportions. YOU determine the proportions. Your body proportions are not mine. And what is the "right" one is in the eye of the beholder. There are no "proportion rules". Personally, I would say that your advertising partner's shirts are too long for YOUR proportions.
