If you’re an older gent and want to wear “younger” clothing, that’s totally fine! But if you want to dress in a more traditionally “age appropriate” way, this post will help.įirst off, here’s a quick list of specific things to avoid, assuming you don’t want people to think you’re trying to look younger: But are these brands really appropriate for men over 40? A sample of H&M’s Instagram feed (and overall aesthetic)įor example, brands like Zara, H&M and ASOS tend to carry fitted clothing in smaller sizes. Unfortunately, many brands that really focus on fit are targeted at younger men – or even teenagers. One of the big issues you run into is the difficulty of finding clothes that fit. This is even more complicated for older guys with non-average builds (like shorter guys). You don’t want people to think you’re trying to look younger. So it wouldn’t make sense to say “men over 40 should dress like this…” and “men under 40 should dress like that…”.īut for most older men, age does play a role in personal style. What kind of work do you do? Do you follow a specific dress code on a daily basis? The way you dress is influenced by your lifestyle.
If you’re over 40 years old and want to dress better than most 20-somethings, this post is for aging like top shelf whiskey 😉įirst off, a disclaimer: despite “old man style” being in the title of this post, being over 40 doesn’t mean you’re old.Īlso, being an old er guy doesn’t mean you have to dress a certain way.
