The only thing that matters is that you are happy in the way you dress. When I was young (now 70), there was a “uniform” for everything. School was cap, shirt, tie, blazer - all in school colours. Work was suit, shirt and tie. After work even had its own rules if you wanted to get into a club or disco. At least people now can choose how they want to dress. I find it sad, personally, that most men don’t take more care about dress but haven’t most “standards” of years ago (such as opening a door for a lady, saying please and thank you) diminished?

I shop at Macy's and find everything I need for my 68 year old life in Hawai'i

I have a pair of white linen pants that always take on holidays they are perfect for a beach vacation. I just recently bought a new pair of linen blend pants at Banana Republic. They are a bit less vacation style and more summer casual and I am really looking forward to wearing them more often, perhaps pairing them with my Astorflex travel loafers in tan. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Roger

Hi Robert, regarding something in your jacket pocket, the best bet is a simple white handkerchief. Then it goes with any shirt or tie. Coordinating with your shirt is slightly off.

Good fitting jacket, not entirely sure the colour works for you. The M&S trousers fit well but do look old school. It’s the pleats.

Hey Robert , like your common sense approach to fashion

Great video.

Aren't you contradicting yourself? You say shirts with pointed collars "have to go". But why? They have been around for decades if not centuries. Are they perhaps "out of fashion" at the moment? But you said to not follow fashion trends, later! I agree with the square toed shoes, though. They were indeed a fashion trend and should have never "come" (so that they don't have to go)

I like your effort keep it up 👍

Agree on checking your wardrobe and refreshing pieces .... the options open up if you are in reasonable shape , that helps with self confidence and wellbeing too. And it's another way of meeting and keeping busy if you are single or wanting to expand social options.

Love that blue shirt! Where was that from?

I hope you're not offended by this: I think your videos lack a sense of direction. They are mostly "Look what I've bought at TK Maxx". So perhaps this is the reason why you get such a disappointing feedback from viewers who are at a loss what to reply. Confine yourself to one topic per video: a shoebrand, a tie knot, when to wear a cutaway collar, my favourite style icon, should I wear a hat etc. And give the video a title that a viewer can associate with and not "Mature Man May Shop" Then look at videos by channels that - at least partly - cater for a similar target group: - Chap's Guide which is my favourite. It really shows what such a channel can achieve. - Gentlemans Gazette - Gent Z which although it caters for a totally different age group. Just look at the way of presentation. - British Dapper - Fashion over 40, too American and too brash at times. Still a few good ideas. - Real Man Real Style: far wider in scope and more for a younger (and American) audience, but still quite good ideas. - Kirby Allison I doesn't mean you should copy these channels, just perhaps get a fresh outlook. And remember: I think it took the British Dapper several years before he got 7000 viewers. So don't give up yet. All the best!

I agree dress jeans are ok as long as they are dark blue. The grey ones you had are cool too. Cheers Ron

Don't quit. As an old tv ad used to say: "if something was easy to be done, anyone would do it..."

Love the “Folk” shirt, that’s very smart. Have you thought about a suede belt? I purchased a woven suede belt from M&S. I think you should get a couple of Fred Perry polo shirts.

With the formal outfit at 4:02: I think it would be even nicer to add a colourful tie as this is the chance to add some colour, texture an pattern to an otherwise grey monochromatic look. And if you have a chest pocket, always fill it with a pocket square. If you haven't got an amount of them always go for white. And with the tie knot: I think that a Windsor tie is just too "boring" as it is absolutely symmetrical. So why not try a "Four in Hand" or one of its variations the "Queen Victoria knot". They add a little bit of "panache".

Wore a pair of white trousers last week. Made the mistake of wearing a pair of freshly polished black loafers. When I took them off I discovered the bottoms of the cuffs were stained blue from laying on top of my shoes! Luckily they were cotton. I rubbed off most of the polish with alcohol,on a cloth. Then washed them normally … no damage done! From now on, canvas or suede shoes!

Love white trousers. They go with everything.

I don't know, but if you pair white trousers with, say, a blue blazer the contrast (at least for me) would be too stark. So I'd rather go with a pair of khaki or at least off white chinos.

I have worn dress shoes since I was a kid. I have found them more comfortable than trainers. I only wear training shoes when taking long walks. I have also found that inexpensive dress shoes will hurt my feet. If you purchase a well-made pair of Goodyear welted shoes they will last you 20 years as the souls can be replaced. You will get more value for your money by buying a good pair of shoes. Penny loafers are a great way to go more casual. Thank you for sharing. Cheers Ron

1. Always make sure your shoes are either BLAKE STITCHED (most Italian shoes are) or GOODYEAR WELTED. They can be distinguished by having stitching on the sole underneath. That means you can easily resole them. Stay away from cemented (=glued on) soles. They have no stitching on the sole and it is difficult for any cobbler to resole them. So even if they are cheaper to buy initially, it does not pay back in the end. 2. The reason for not wearing white trainers is quite simple: I wear sports shoes (because that's exactly what they are!) only in the gym or on the pitch. No reason for wearing them under normal circumstances .

I take socks which have worn heels, and cut them in half. I use the front half as “no show” socks. I find them quite comfortable. Trim them down to the appropriate length. I love them.

You tried Charles Tyrwhitt? They've some excellent clobber, reasonably priced. It's like going into Next thirty years ago.

I get most of my deals from charity shops a lot of them are new with tags. I have bought many Brooks Brothers shirts for $6 for a $90 shirt. Cheers Ron

Great looking jacket

Great looking shirt I have a Brooks Brothers blue seersucker I really like the oxfords cheers Ron

Would like to see the fedora if you've got it. Also a Panama would be great for going out having a drink in the sun. Last but not least a oxford shirt. Bought myself a pink one the other day. Thanks for sharing your video's.

Keep up the good work.

Please do a video on matching socks to different outfits! Great content! Thank you!

Thankyou Robert! And thanks for the positive feedback, it's very much appreciated and i will continue to implement your suggestions and further enhance my style wardrobe. Regards, Gavin. 👍🏻

Well done, Gavin. I especially like image three at 3:55; a great look and very smart. Robert, if you could please, in future, let images like these stay on screen a few seconds longer to give your viewers a better opportunity to study each outfit in more detail. Great content!

I would have to say Gavin has nailed it. He looks very much the stylish chap. I get most of my items from second hand or charity shops. Some of the items are brand new with the hang tags so they must have been donated by the store. I live in the US and have picked up nice Brooks Brothers shirts that would have cost $90 for $6. Keep up the good work. Very best regards Ron

That bright blue short sleeve shirt looks great. Could you elaborate on the turn up length with no show socks? Thanks.

Some great ideas! Thanks

Nice video, nice combinations. Nice pocket square

The straight cut trousers and jeans are excellent, thank god the skinny fit is dead and buried! The navy jacket is a classic and looks superb, and i must say the pink shirt marries it extremely well! Good shout out to all us divorced, widowed and single lonely fellows! 🍻

Some nice outfits worn by the three gents, i do particularly like the tweed jacket! The seude chukka boots look great with jeans, and the stretch denim is comfortable to wear, i have a similar pair myself. The shirt looks great too, you can find some nice quality pieces in Primark 👌🏼

Steve McQueen vibes with the cardigan mate 👌🏼

Very good combinations all of them. Just a friendly observation: the sleeve of the jacket is a little longer than it should be. The ends of the shirt sleeves are missing. Maybe a taylor can fix it.

All the combinations with that grey jacket looked great, but you need a half inch off the sleeve length. Would then look perfect!

Hi Rob, love those Autograph polo shirts, excellent buys. I think M&S are nailing it at the moment. Have you seen the new M&S Jaeger navy blazers? Linen/silk blend.

Beautiful choices

What looked like a humble but snazzy vintage barn jacket on paper turns out in real life (or at least on video) to have a sleek but disjointed wannabe futuristic look. I'd chunk it-it's out of sync with the other garments in the video which are surely more stylish.

Some nice stuff Robert

Not even old, just have to gain wisdom from the OG's

If you don't like the jacket, donate it to a charity shop. There is someone out there who will love it.

Good video Robert good casual spring style.

Any suggestions on jewelry?

Glad to see a channel for us mature men. Keep up the good work.

I bought the same trousers from marks they look great with a pale blue shirt and brogue dress shoes
