Men's Wardrobe Basic Essentials Over 40

[@davedove67]

I think this is a good "basics" list. I'm having to recreate a wardrobe, basically from scratch, because I lost significant weight the last two years and nothing fits now. This is a great place to start for me.

[@40OverFashion]

Thanks for watching and commenting David! Congratulations on the weight loss!

[@waltermiller215]

Awesome and Great news David Congratulations Sir.

[@phillipj.moodie3077]

@ David Dove. Now that you have got your weight to were you want it too be, you can look forward to wearing new clothes that will gain you many unexpected, but genuine, compliments. A change in physical appearance is not always as noticeable in a reflection in a bathroom mirror as it is to strangers. Enjoy the shopping. Phil.

[@leonardgoffe7159]

congrats on getting in shape

[@rockygabriel7096]

For pants just tailored them... I lost 25 kg in quarantine and tailored them all

[@paulvsmith]

Never been very keen on bomber jackets. I would say a good field jacket is very versatile.

[@1iosanta]

Hi John.. I might add an overcoat, well fitted in camel or charcoal colour. Very versatile to dress up dress down and adds up style and finesse..even to casual outfits

[@damonm.]

Definitely going to have to get one of those

[@40OverFashion]

Yes, absolutely!

[@johnlone207]

New technology on the way we create fabrics and clothing nowadays makes a huge difference. From cotton underwear to a more wicking breathable fabrics, and I understand about the tight sock bands, especially on hot weather, become itchy at times, and form that permanent ring mark around your calves & shins. I love my waxed jackets & coats, those are my go-to jackets for the Chicago fall & winter. Thank you for the awesome vid!

[@gregs.8895]

Great list, can't even think of something to add. Maybe I just need more coffee. Thanks!

[@jbp48080]

I love this list, being a 51 yr old man, i enjoy seeing this stuff. The brown oxford shoes are definitley nice looking at amazon for deals now.

[@jbp48080]

@Linl both. Love the beach and enjoy visiting the MTS

[@alfacentauri3686]

This was a very good list to build a wardrobe foundation from, John. And very good color suggestions. My additions would be: - Two belts, dark brown and black with moderate buckles. You can also add a burgundy or tan belt depending on your shoes. - Pocket squares can add some extra to your outfit without wearing a tie. A plain white and a patterned burgundy goes a long way. - A navy overcoat, depending on where you live. It's a bit early right now, but where I live I'll need transition pieces all the way to a parka.

[@40OverFashion]

Thank you!

[@sanjeevranjan3470]

@@40OverFashion Hi....l have got almost everything you have mentioned in the video....except a grey chino... l think l must have one very shortly...Thank u so much....!

[@simon.b3547]

Brogue boots have always been a favourite of mine, I’m currently rocking a pair of Grenson ‘Fred’ in Tan. Top quality craftsmanship.

[@billsherrington5996]

I've got their Grenson Sharp version. Great boots!

[@tedwilliams765]

Western boots with jeans and a blazer,or with jeans and nice shirt or sweater as long as the jeans fit over the boots,,great video John you always have great advice

[@dakotaescher1]

Ralph Lauren Boxer Briefs, Ralph Lauren Argyle Socks, Docker (Jean Cut Straight) Pants, Ralph Lauren Oxford's and Polo's (Nothing Outlandish, always classic styles never go out of fashion), Johnston and Murphy Shoes, Rockport leather boots, and a nice classic watch. Always in style, always in fashion.

[@realwarriorscholar]

Good list! I’d add 2-3 polo shirts, a few ties, a navy suit - wear the jacket and pants separately for max use, and add a hat. I like a dark brown newsboy cap, but whatever you like is fine.

[@quietenglishman4179]

Generally a pretty decent list except for the zip up jumpers which, in England, would most likely to be found in a care home for the elderly. That patterned jacket is a bit "loud" as well.

[@netzerochase2493]

John, your fashion tips are very practical for all color and hues. You are my fashion Northstar.

[@40OverFashion]

Thank you!

[@megret1808]

Knee high socks are useful on long haul flights. They keep the lower leg compressed

[@ardentdfender4116]

Having a nice good shirt jacket can give nice versatility to various outfits you can wear depending on its color and at the same time kinda act as an outer coat in the cooler seasons or days that it’s cooler. All the rest of stuff completely agree. Everyone starts at a different point in their clothing basics. For me it was having a versatility of basic colors in Chinos and good fabric Dress Trousers of lightweight Wool. Then color Leather Shoes, Belts. Then shirts of variety from Dress Shirts, Knits, casual shirts, polos. It all adds up to give variety. Building it all takes some time.

[@40OverFashion]

Thank you! Appreciate your comment!

[@allenriordanyork3856]

Great video! I’m in the middle of tossing most of my wardrobe and I’ll be following your instructions. I’m wondering if you’ve produced a video for spring/summer basics. I’d really like to see that. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@WheelieMacBin]

Here in the UK, wearing a well polished pair of quality dark brown brogues with a pair of well fitting blue jeans, of the correct length, has always been a sign of good taste.

[@40OverFashion]

Here in the US as well! Thanks for commenting!

[@juanarce6900]

I got all bases covered except the sneaker, I want the thursday boot sneakers; they give more bang for the buck. As always John, thank you a for magnificent video my friend.

[@40OverFashion]

Thank you Juan!

[@jefff2223]

I understand where you’re coming from regarding T-shirts….but I’ve become a believer in the black “fashion” T-shirt. Slightly fitted, doesn’t hang beyond the belt line. Super versatile - I have a drawer full of them now!

[@eds73100]

All these are great and work in most situations. I will wear a T shirt with a bomber jacket or a shirt jacket or sport coat. Great advice as always!!

[@40OverFashion]

Thank you!

[@petermartin8756]

I prefer.r a Barbour or Belstaff Jacket to a bomber jacket as they suit the weather here in Blighty for at least six months of the year, but agree with the rest of your recommendations on jeans shoes, boots & shirts, I’m getting most of my wardrobe right but nice to have it confirmed..

[@Shreadington]

Good essential list. Over the past 2 years I've made most these changes to my wardrobe. By shopping the seasonal sales I've kept the cost pretty reasonable.

[@40OverFashion]

Love that! Thanks for watching!

[@Shreadington]

@@40OverFashion John your channel helped set me on the right track as a guy that turned 40, 43 now. All my pants/jeans/shorts are solid colors and tapered, sneakers options on point, simple solid shirts for any bottom I choose, etc. I'm fit and confident in my every day style choices thanks largely to your channel. Now I'm updating my gym clothing, luggage, and accessories.

[@gryffydd42]

The only thing I might suggest as addition is ideal basic neckties to have for the dress shirts. I’d also like to request a follow up video on basic accessories that go with the items from this video. Things like belts (colors , width, materials), watches, and maybe a section on cufflinks, tie clasps, rings, etc.

[@40OverFashion]

That's a great idea! Thanks Andrew!

[@davidcawrowl3865]

Thinking I need to thin out my wardrobe and get back to these basics. Free up my closet.

[@waltermiller215]

John I just wanted to commend You on a very great and informative Men's Wardrobe Basic list I too will agree with You on all of your points, ironically I have my oldest Nephew who just tuned 18 almost Two months ago start dressing like this when He was 15 and come to find out He loves dressing more like a mature Man than His own age group. It started out with Shirts, Pants, Ties then onto Sweaters (all types), Suits and my favorite Shoes (Every Style that I own). With this being said I really appreciate that you're informing the masses a basic Men's Wardrobe if they haven't started one as of yet....Keep providing EXCELLENT CONTENT!!!

[@40OverFashion]

Thank you Walter! Much appreciated!

[@alexc2234]

You've recommended pants, shirts and jackets with patterns, and it would be great to review how these patterns work together, or don't work together. I tend to combine one pattern with solid but would like to hear your perspective. Thanks

[@40OverFashion]

Thank you! I’ve made a few videos about mixing patterns. Searched my KZbin channel for pattern mixing and color matching.

[@smackroscoe]

Thank you for sharing your fashion insights & guidance. Your most appreciated my friend. On the subject of the dress jacket, is it possible for you to show yourself modeling that pattern jacket with other items in todays video? Love to see your combinations for ideas & inspiration.

[@robertfarquharson581]

I happen to like the dress boot, ankle high black but most of everything else you hit the mark with me

[@40OverFashion]

Thanks Robert!

[@cosmicsailor6918]

Really liked the vide. Probably the best video on men fashion i have ever seen. It gives you a complete wardrobe good options and the looks with options given. Feel like buying new clothing.

[@40OverFashion]

Glad you liked it!! Thanks for watching!

[@statetechguru4804]

Awesome list of basics, I could relate to you with the dad bod thing. I have now realized very late that T-Shirts are not my thing since I am 40 yr old with a dad bod about 20 extra pounds. Not even Slim fitting casual shirts would look good on me anymore, would just go for Regular fitting shirts to avoid showing my dad bod curves.

[@jonlouis2582]

I had to empty my closet while painting my bedroom and this kind of prompted a reassessment of my wardrobe. Thanks for the video, this was very helpful.

[@40OverFashion]

You are welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@ELROCKETEER]

awesome videos! so much info! reminds me of reading GQ as a young man but so much better. im 61 now but can still pull these combo's without looking awful thanks!

[@Kandivibes]

Thank you for the video. This list surely helps us to declutter our wardrobe and build on further. We can add to the list depending upon where we live. For example, in India we also need couple of Kurtas/sherwanis to wear during festivals/marriages.

[@sting1111]

Just noticed the Peter Manning label. I shop there often. I appreciate your channel!

[@05Rudey]

I no longer wear a suit, unless it's specifically called upon. I get by with a dark blue blazer, that I wear with dark jeans, a button down shirt and brown brogues as my smart casual attire, (Dark Grey or Brown Tweed Sports Jacket in the colder season) If I need a suit I throw in a pair of dark blue GAP Chino's and add a tie. On first inspection looks like a smart formal suit but it doesn't feel like I'm wearing a suit, it feels like I'm wearing a pair of jeans with my casual Navy Blazer. I don't feel stuffy or over-dressed like I do when I'm wearing a suit. I do own a suit, a nice one in fact and a pair of black Oxfords, but they are among the least worn items I own, I just don't feel comfortable at all in them.

[@40OverFashion]

I love the Calvins . Christmas present from my wife. Thanks for the recommendation .

[@davidcouch6514]

A third shirt could be a light, even lighter, pink. I quit even subtle pattens decades ago. I would buy a striped shirt, then only wear it on an “off” day it was raining or I felt crappy and why waste a good shirt on such. I realized it was self-fulfilling and fortified the day a total write-off. But that’s just me. Lots of good pointers; thanks.

[@tonyinsua7467]

I think this is excellent for basics! The only thing I would add is belts. 👍🏼

[@40OverFashion]

Thanks Tony!

[@andrewtremblay262]

Good advice . Personally I am at the point in my life where I still need some business attire ( semi retired ) and the need for a suit is still required . One area I will spend money in is good shoes ! They Stand the rest of time and buy classics

Hi there. Really appreciate your content - a few years ago it really help me understand clothes for the first time. So I started from scratch to build a basic capsule type wardrobe - it’s been great. Just thought it might be good to have a video on branching out from there - once you have a solid base. maybe a ‘beyond basics’ for 2024 with some layering?? Thanks

Hi John, Another great video. A great starting point and a good foudation to build on. Living the UK the weather dictates we need a little more than your basic lists to cover the inevitable four season in one day we experience. I'd add a decent dress coat as a starter for ten, other must haves for me and I know you've covered this are belts and accesories. look forward to the next video.. PS the pants at 4:49 are Prince Of Wales Check..

[@40OverFashion]

Thank you!

[@Pierreaontoine]

I'm in Canada, so sweaters are a must. The problem I have is that they don't seem to hold their shape after a season or two. I've got about 8 that I rotate. I machine wash and air dry, but it doesn't seem to make much difference. Could you do a segment on how to pick a good sweater that will last. Mine are the typical ones you'd get like at a Banana Republic or Eddie Bauer.

[@40OverFashion]

Thanks Peter!

[@Maverick47100]

I'm pleased to say I have pretty much everything you mentioned, my only additions would be my collection of double monk straps to change up my footwear, great video!

[@40OverFashion]

Thank you!

[@Lassehansen3]

Personally I would suggest sticking to “plain” (non patterned) trousers. You can make them more interesting playing with different design details and textures. The reason why is that it just makes getting dressed that much easier, the plain trousers will go easily with a pain or pattern shirt and jacket. Besides that I would definitely include a suit as an essential. You will need it for those more formal situations (weddings, funerals). You could even get one in a dark blue in a birds eye weave, that way the jacket could even double as your sports jacket 🙂👍

[@philipmack2115]

As always great content John! I have a light black corduroy blazer I wear casually or you can dress up a little. I do own a blue sports blazer similar to yours.

I really enjoy your channel. I happen to be allergic to polyester and rubber/latex. Much of clothing made of cotton, leather (real), wool is difficult to locate in a variety of clothing and styles. Most clothing items you discuss are blended to a point I have reactions. Shoes included. Unfortunately for me the great majority of manufacturers make blended or synthetic clothing and make it difficult to find stylish clothing. It doesn't help that my body shape is slightly abnormal.

I enjoy your videos and like your style. Watching this particular video gave me a buzz because I actually own almost everything you have suggested.

Living a Texas, shorts are kind of a must during the really hot months. What do you recommend for shorts, shirt, socks and shoes for the day to day?

[@leonardgoffe7159]

Hi, I wonder if you can do a video on getting your first medium-upper level shoes, going from Macy's to Allan Edmunds, and a "just one pair" to 2 pair and beyond.

[@stevemccrory9130]

There could be a place for Henley shirts and long-sleeve crew t-shirts as one step, and 2 steps up from a t-shirt - more casual than a polo but less prone to having garish "school-boy" logos on them. Roll-necks, turtle-neck, mock-neck and crew neck merino sweaters along with a good cable knit and 2 colours in a shawl neck cardigan should cover all the colder weather too. I'd also throw in a black and navy dress shirt. What's your take on dress shirt collars? Classic? Semi cut-away? Full cut-away? Thanks in advance.

[@40OverFashion]

Great additions Steve! I like spread & cutaway collars because I like larger, half Windsor knots.

[@doddarajsekhar6604]

Tq Mr. John, I'm from India tq for ur detailed whole body dressing suggestions . Am following your channel and will follow your advice from niw on .

[@leonardgoffe7159]

I think one basic suit should have been included. I love the shoes (Brouges) I may get an Allan-Edmunds pair

[@martintanz9098]

I agree. Now, these days, you can get suit separates which while not perfect, gives the wearer the chance to break up the suit and just wear the pants with an contrasting jacket or sweater, or the jacket with some chinos for a more casual vibe. But in some cases, you really can't wear some dark wash jeans or a pair of chinos with a jacket. traditional weddings, job interviews, funerals, for example.

Solid advice. As a self confessed fashion "slob", I wear pretty much Carhartt t-shirts and work pants (always clean)! everywhere. Venturing into the dating world for the first time in a long time, these basics are a solid foundation and I'm sure will be a worthwhile investment. Your channel and a few others are on point for tbose of us with no personal fashion consultants. Figurative lifesavers 😀

[@40OverFashion]

Thanks Ronald!

[@phillipj.moodie3077]

@ Ronald Jacobi. While I am not a "Fashion Slob" I found that my wardrobe was definitely "Last Century" when your peer group is 40 years younger. But I am there beause of my Technical competence, but by searching the Internet for guidance I found John's Channel a year ago. He is a great inspiration because he dresses in a manner that fits in with my Marketplace Peers. What I consider to be the very best Fashion advice for people who are dressing for Work and not the Weekend is in The New Testament, where the Apostles were told : "When in Rome do as the Romans do". Even if that involves being seen wearing Carhartt branded clothing. Phil.

[@phillipj.moodie3077]

@Linl When I was a baby I learnt to walk on Australia's famous Manly Beach. When I was 4 I lived in one of the apartments built right on the ocean front rocks at Bondi Beach, which are the ocean front buildings that are always shown in every photo of Bondi Beach. Massive storms take the waves up to the ground floor. If you Google "Massive rock washed up from ocean floor at Bondi Beach you will see where I lived during World War 2. I lved on the highside of the road that seperates the apartments and runs a shorr distance to the cliff top at Ben Buckler. That was my Father's choice, because he was in the Royal Australian Navy. So I became a lover of the sea, but I think that living in the mountains, with distant views, is where my heart is at it's happiest. Phil.

[@phillipj.moodie3077]

@Linl I have survived 4 cases of COVID 19 during the last 3 years. The first time I collapsed at a friend's house, whose neighbour is a Nurse at the largest Hospital in Melbourne, Australia. She called an ambulance, and when I arrived at the Emergency Department, the Nurse in Charge said "You will not live more than two days". Early the next morning, the Doctor in Charge of the COVID 19 Emergency Ward said "You will not live to see the end of the day", but I survived. Last month when I survived my fourth COVID 19 attack, after being told once again that I only had hours to live, while I was in bed I was visited by a young Ward Doctor, who had a very large smile on his face. He simply said "For your age you have an amazing constitution. I am here to tell you that for the fourth time, you have beaten the strongest strain of COVID 19. So I said that I was just gratefull to have been given the chance to live another day, when numerous people in the same Hospital were dying. I had never used any form of Social Media, including Google, until I taught myself, on the very basic smartphone that I bought the morning of the day I first caught COVID 19. So after that very long winded explanation, I would be very happy to hear about your likes and opinions, because I now feel like I have started a SECOND LIFE which will have many more suprises. Thank you for your very kind comments. Phillip.

Can you suggest the brands too that you like for these items the way you mentioned straight up socks? I’m interested in knowing which brands are your favorite for each item you mention - that will make things so much easier for beginners like me. Thanks.

[@CesarDepaz]

No see through white t shirts… hello, awesome videos. I was wondering if you have any advice for a white t shirt that is not see through. Most look cheap.

[@martintanz9098]

A good, solid list. Obviously, every man except the strict minimalist will build from this list and acquire more than the bare basics. A couple of things I think I would add. A suit. Preferably in navy or charcoal grey. Even if you only wear it a few times a year, there are times a man needs to wear a suit. I am thinking about semi formal or formal occasions like evening weddings and, of course, funerals. Black dress shoes. They are more dressy than brown, but if you need them, you need them. Usually on occasions when you have to wear a suit. I am thinking captoe oxfords, whole cuts, or quarter brogues. Though if you have a pair of plain toe or split toe bluchers, that could work, too.

[@27391ltd]

Excellent, along with some well needed update reminders

[@Manuel421]

Linen or lightweight Trousers definitely for hot weather. For Linen would you prefer sky blue or a light grey? Both sound pretty reasonable. I currently have a pair of Charcoal Grey lightweight Wool Trousers and despite the darker color they are still comfortable in the heat due to the breathable fabric and weight as you know. For Chinos I have Blue and Tan so far but looking to add a couple others perhaps Navy and Burgundy if possible.

[@40OverFashion]

Thanks Manuel! I’d say the light gray might be more versatile.

[@Manuel421]

@@40OverFashion Thanks John appreciate it as always! In AZ as you know it's hot most of the year so these pieces are truly essential. When it does get cooler I do also wear my dress shirts, sweaters, and Jackets. I've been getting into sport coats as you mentioned in the video. My next choices I'm going for are an Olive Green and a Brown both solids. Anyway fantastic content! I think anyone can restart their wardrobe from this video.
