      Thanks for the laugh, Douglas! I was in a store and the ladies in front of me and the young man working there were in a brief conversation about their age. I needed to speak with him and when they were finished I asked him, "Out of curousity, how old do you think I am?"
      He said, "Oh, dude... you're (back of throat, rolling a gutteral "O") oooold!'
      "Old? How old is old?"
      He said, "Oh... like, like, like thirty!"
      I put my hands on top of my head, then threw them in the air and said, "That's amazing! How did you know???"

    I'm 56 and often get compliments for looking much younger and NOT because I dress trendy or go with the crowd. I feel like my generation set many of the trends we see these days but one should be mindful of their age and how to dress appropriately. It's important to eat well at my age and stay fit. I'm vegan now and feel better than ever! I like fitted clothes and good grooming. The classics have worked and always will. Basic colors and a few colored/print shirts. I wear stuff that mixes and matches. Black and white and killer shoes. I wear clothes that transcend time. Black fitted suits with fitted white crips shirts will always turn heads. (I can afford them now). I can pull off slim fit dark denim and ALWAYS get compliments on my gray Clark desert boots or chelsea boots. I have salt and pepper hair so wearing clear framed glasses go well! One great thing about being in your 50s is you don't give a shit about what people think about you! Best time of my life! Enjoy yourselves brothers!! Great video Courtney and thanks for speaking to our generation!

    I for one couldn't wait to turn 40 when i was 18 because of my grandfather. I Remember him coming to visit the family and he'd always wear these cardigans or turtlenecks, Mostly in brown, grey or black. He looked so cool in them that one time i stole a brown cardigan of his and never gave it back. To the youth 40 and beyond is old and that's fine. But damn it's nice to be able to wear cool distinguish pieces of clothes at my age. Don't have to worry to much about trends or fashion. Casual dark or light colors is the way to go and by the way men age like fine wine.

Most of my wardrobe is t-shirts, jeans and cargo shorts and I prefer sandals or hiking boots to all other footwear. I do have some nice button ups and dress pants for special occasions, but I can't wear sweaters indoors, they make me sweat too much. I'll wear a nice flannel as an overshirt and tie it around my waist when inside. I value your insight on many things...but this 'old guy' is pretty happy with his lack of fashion sense. 😉👍

    Courtney, thank you so much for this video. I think there are other issues that you should address for older men, which I believe will make your channel more popular. For instance, nobody talks about fashion in the Sunshine State of Florida. Here it is summer all year round. Men come down from other states and stay here through the winter. So it's very difficult to wear the type of clothes that you were showing in this video down here in Florida. So perhaps a show on hot weather fashion. Secondly should older men's pants touch their shoes or rise above the shoes by an inch or so? Should men wear socks when wearing long pants? In today's styles it seems like the fashion is a bit snug around the arms and legs. Should this hold true for older men's fashion? Should older men still wear T shirts with shorts or should we wear a button down shirt? And what about fashions for big men? I am approximately 6' 1" and weigh approximately 270 pounds. I find it difficult to look good because of the large belly. So how do we dress to to look good? Thanks. I enjoy your channel!

      @@tommyboy71000 You might want to try thinking before you type. I'm not the brightest? You're not even functionally retarded, are ya? Some people's taste is, they don't like watches. Not everyone likes wearing jewelry or anything on their body. That's a personal preference. You're saying everyone should wear a watch is a judgement that contradicts personal style or preference. I never said nor implied that anyone has to wear a specific type of watch and you lose your shit over the variety of watches that is completely irrelevant. I don't care if there are a million varieties of watches; I'm not wearing one because your stupid ass thinks it's some kind of requirement. Sorry sport, go back to middle school and try reading comprehension again. The point was, NO, not everyone NEEDS to wear a watch.

    Nailed it 99%, one disagreement (for some men) most cargo pants have poofy pockets and look silly, however Duluth Firehouse and Firehouse Flex have flat pockets and are great for guys who can't practically carry a bag. I'm an executive for a small business, my daily wear is Duluth Firehose Flex pants, high quality steel toe work boots always polished, a well fitted quality T or pull over depending on the season. I keep worn or stained pants, shirts, and boots in my office for when I know I might get dirty. I'm in the coatings business and often on factory floors with the potential to get dirty. Plus by dressing just above the workers I get more respect than dressing in a suit, make friends more easily, and am more approachable. The rest of your list is perfect!!! I happen to have my father's wing tips from when he got his first job, mint condition, third set of soles. Quality matters. The same shoes today cost close to $400. My boots over $500 and as high as $800. If it's between you and the ground spend money on it gentlemen. Shoes, tires, mattresses, furniture, office chairs, etc. Your body will thank you!

    I am 70, still pretty trim because I am naturally slim and do some exercise. I love cargo shorts but I would like to have a classy look too. My wife is even more casual than I but I’ve noticed a couple of comments that hinted that she wouldn’t mind a bit more class, the first being pleas to wear my ‘blue jeans’. They are nice but I felt they might show my slightly rounder belly, which I then felt like hiding under a shirt. Other questions now. First, do men really carry those bags around all the time? Two, I can where a pretty thin looking pair of jeans but I don’t like low cut pants even if they are in style. So could you address rise in pants? Can I where my champagne brown shoes with other colors? Should it match my belt?. Now, the big one. I really don’t think the tight suits nowadays look classy because they look too small . Also, I love comfortable clothes so how should I stretch the limits of suits without looking like I bought mine in 1960? I know. I’m requesting a whole show just for me.

    People who have money and good taste. So I'm eliminating celebrities and I'm eliminating sports players. I'm talking about people who are educated sophisticated entrepreneurs or old money people they dress ultra high quality less is more and it shows. So the guy who looks like a punk or who dresses like he just got off Saturday Night Fever to a more contemporary look they are hobos. If you wear a business suit or a sport coat of some sort you want Oxxford or Brioni.
    You want John lobb shoes, the classic 1953 Gucci loafer in an exotic skin or brown or black not the ones that have the cheese all over them that makes you look like Super Fly.
    Timeless Classics things that never go out of style. If you're on more of a budget go Brooks Brothers always buy things on sale.
    Never pay retail wait until it's half off typically it's twice a year some things never go on sale like the two suits I mentioned they are top of the line and worth it and will last you the rest of your life.
    It's worth it to have your shirts custom tailored. If they are done properly again they will last you the rest of your life they will fit you perfectly and make you look polished and in control.
    Stay away from necklaces and bracelets unless you want to look like a Goomba.
    I would also suggest staying away from wearing a Rolex watch because frankly it's a wannabe anymore.
    Everyone knows what they are blah blah blah save your money and buy a Patek Philippe or something that is only known to someone who appreciates high quality. Oh, loose the Bible Sandles and dude, flip flops belong on the beech.

      Getting clothes that fit is most important, IMO, so know your sizes and get friendly w a tailor.
      A sport coat or blazer (NOT a suit coat) w jeans and a button-down is my usual look... generally with a pair of boots (Thursday Boot Co makes a great dress/casual boot). Wear a belt that's in the same chroma-range as the shoes (black w black, brn w brn) and, if possible, match your chosen watch to the vibe and style. Details make the package and may not even be noticed, but doing it wrong will be glaring and obvious.
      I had a buddy ask me one time why I always look "put together" (I'm a still a slob for chores, auto work, etc). I told him I do the exact same as him: pants, shirt, shoes, jacket... just different "styles". Casual and relaxed but not pretentious or over-dressed.
      BTW, I'm a 54 yr old truck driver, not a bucks-up hedge fund guy. I watch for sales and even look at Goodwill and Salvation Army thrift stores for items.
