[@MrLENrok]

I'll be 43 in a few weeks. I enjoy a mix of age appropriate clothes but I also like styles like Aime Leon Dore, Kith and Fear of God. I shop at GAP and Target. I mix and match as needed depending on the occasion. Style starts with you and your personality. Most days I'm in sweats and some Birkenstock Boston's to chill and run errands. The difference is as we get older we care about comfort first and foremost.

I just turned 42, and have been rocking' street wear since 1993 from echo to triple 5 soul, x large to esdjco, and currently off white to stone island. there are occasions where I will wear slacks, suits, etc., but majority of the time I'm in casual gear

[@FoodaFIISH]

Totally agree. Depends on the situation and occasion. Gotta know your surroundings!

Well said young man!!! I'm 60 and I do the same! Wear what the hell I want to!

[@bandisanst]

As a young dude seeing older people wear things like yeezys or any streetwear makes me really happy for them

[@masonhalpin6053]

When you said turn it on and off it’s true. I tried to get out of streetwear and sneakers when I hit 30 just to try and mature my look a little but I was so uncomfortable. So now I just throw on some subtle heat with light streetwear pieces.

[@maxheadroom1207]

I'm 32 and all I have to say for the 20 year olds out there is that Trust me, 30 sneaks up on you real fast and its not like your fashion just changes on a dime. I've been into the "neo-preppy" aesthetic like Aime Leon Dore and I feel like that's definitely age appropriate. There's definitely things that I don't wear anymore but you could definitely wear streetwear in your 30s.

[@reekwillz1691]

You can wear it in your 40s as well...I'm 41 and still wear my supreme hats..I'm into fashion as well..Like you said I'm heavy on the Aime leon Dore and kith right now...but I will still bust out that streetwear when I want too...

[@starrlife]

I love this conversation topic. I think we all grow up thinking of what "old people" wear without realizing that their style tends to come from what they used to wear...

[@Blanco169]

Completely. You can tell who is going to be wearing air monarchs high socks and knee high cargo shorts pretty early on... I try to keep it not as loud with colors as I used to but I'm going to wear nike and jordan til I'm dead...

also; if you look at what is considered old lady gear (cropped blazers and pearl necklaces for example) that's what the same old gals wore as TEENAGERS in the 40s, 50s and 60s.

[@aaronsants8300]

couldn't agree more. exactly

[@DJNuMAN]

I could not agree with you more you are 100% right. I just turned 56 I grew up wearing street gear and I’m not stopping now. Of course like you said some situation require you to get my grown man on lol and I know how to do that well also. Excellent video.

Def as I got older I toned down on the loud streetwear pieces had way too much but still have a few louder pieces ..anyways u hit it on the head streetwear for fun activities...business casual/nicer clothes for dates, nice restaurants etc

[@chaine1553]

Thank you for this message Eddie. I'm totally agree with you. For me, wear clothes is a way to express myself. It's a kind of art : mix colors, styles, materials... etc... It's so funny! And I love watching how people are dressed in the street. Every morning on my way to work, I see a man about 30 years old, and he's dressed like Sherlock Holmes. And it's cool! Take pleasure in dressing, with what you want, with what you like. Good continuation for your videos Eddie!

[@williambritton8039]

I’ve been wearing these styles since I was youth. My daily style never really changed. Switched it up for professional settings but most street styles are casual and I like what I like.

[@PHlophe]

William, i think there is always a way to update the same style as we age and our bodies change.There is casual streeet style for work setting, friday's dress code. Now I am going to be lawyer later this summer. I am 42. I don't like the preppy bougie with loafers look or the dark academia esthetics that has now taken over . Imma keep my casual but refined street style. I am a new grand father also. i am now judged my different standards.

[@ericlindegard2202]

Finally someone came out and said it’s ok to wear streetwear at 50. You just gotta own it. If you feel uncomfortable wearing street wear then your were never part of the culture anyways.

[@gregoryingram7561]

Well said!

[@dead162]

Its so weird that people believe that when you reach a certain age you have to start wearing different clothes i think it doesn’t matter wear what makes you happy 💯

[@everyonehatesParker134]

I grew up in the 90s and loved Nikes and Jordan but I couldn’t offered to buy them. Now I am in my 30s and can offered them, I appreciate the video about being true to your fit and being happy

[@Danik0211]

I’m 41 and I dress however I please. I had this one young kid call me out one time and tell me that I was posing and too old to be dressing in streetwear. He was literally wearing a Metallica vintage T-shirt with some Levi’s and Jordan 1’s. I looked at him and said “you’re literally wearing clothes from my generation”, who’s the poser? His friends laughed.

[@gregoryash7649]

Great video man, I am 65 yrs old and I think exactly the same way you do!!👍👍. There's a time and a place for everything, life is very short so make the best. Do what makes you happy!!!😃😃!!

[@ldub783]

I'm 50. I'm still cool AF cuz I wear urban, street, couture, whatever....agree with you on all points bro!

[@walterroux291]

Just look at Hiroshi Fujiwara, Junya Watanabe and Rei Kawakubo who are now entering their 80s, with Fragment, Undercover and Comme Des Garçons all currently killing it in the street ware scene. My wardrobe is nowhere near as stylish as them but I'm still young and have time to build a collection of great pieces, I definitely look to them as how to style street wear as you get older. Notice how they all stick to black dominated silhouettes to create a sense of mystery, colour is still allowed but more as an accent piece.

[@JLY852]

Thats a weird thing to say about yourself...

[@saywhatagain6176]

Im 41 and love classic mens wear dating back to the early 1900's, my casual and formal wear(category) tributes to the 1920- late 1950's style(the golden era for classic menswear). and i love classical American sports attire (which transitioned to, and is the pioneer of street wear) frm 1950- late 1980's (when the designs were nice and simple not too over the top) for example lettermen jacket, nylon baseball jackets, your classic coach jacket, basebal caps, ringer tees, stripe tees etc etc and then you got your canvas shoes, chuck taylors, nike cortez, puma suedes, adidas gazelles, converse one stars and your classic vans, i only rock with these shoes ONLY!! and i stack up on them whenever i can, different colours and all! i dont fuck with any other, or modern day shoe unless its for recreational purposes( modern day running shoe). all these styles have stood the test of time in my opinion and are still going strong, its even stronger than these modern day trends! but who am i to say.. each to there own

[@CarlosVega101]

True story

[@MrRio420]

This is a great topic! Clothing is a choice it's so many options out there wear what makes you feel good don't worry about be judged.... Me personally I didnt have much growing up we had to make the best... I'm 45 and often buy whatever I like as I couldn't afford it back then style is style we aren't the same we are all Unique I rock sweat suits often as they are comfortable and still look spicy to me my favorite shoe in the older Adidas ultra boost and my shoe collection is still growing... History always repeats itself so don't throw your old gear away as it will come back around like you see baggy jeans etc are back! I never got on the skinny Jean boat as that stuff is very uncomfortable to me and doesn't fit my personality

[@Cnismogtr]

I'm 40 and I'm totally agree on what your saying! 👍👍

[@beachcity562]

Where what makes you feel good! You just have to pick it too when and where to wear!!

[@Its_Sheroy]

Getting older and starting a full-time job definitely made me feel like I had to put streetwear aside but these days depending on your office environment you can even wear sneakers to work in a tasteful way. The right setting and execution is key but aside from that nothing is stopping you from wearing w.e you want

[@v.w.1000]

It’s not what you wear, it’s how you wear it.

[@Rod-bp8ow]

Its good to have plenty of jackets and coat these days. Wear them the way they should, specially knowing its purpose wherein they last, of ages. No one can stop anyone from wearing their best attire at a season designed for a man, as a covering, as protection and as a vest of righteousness.

[@rickcross5377]

I'm 36 and it took me a while to find my style. I went through my 20s with the preppy style and urban fit. I found myself now more about comfort. So if you see me 👀 the ONLY thing your going to see on me is Nike sweat fits and Air Max (every type of MAX). Its all about comfort but don't get it twisted my DRIP is still A1 FIRE

Ive learned the value of wearing what makes me feel happy. Variety is the spice of life!!! Some days, it’s a polo and chinos...other days it’s my hoodie and Jordans. In the winter, I bust out my peacoat and in the summer, I’m rocking my Knicks jerseys (don’t wanna hear it!) Your take on mixing street wear with men’s wear is such a cool visual that anyone, no matter what age they are, can use in many situations. Keep doing you bro! We appreciate it✊🏽

[@stonerc27]

I’m glad I started switching to minimalistic pieces in my mid 20s, ie: the small logos on the left chest. I feel the clothing is timeless this way regardless of the brand. Even a Hollister hoodie can work w/ just the small bird logo, but not the large Hollister California pieces, same goes for BOGO Supreme/ Box Kith pieces. That being said, I probably wouldn’t do no marvel captain America t shirt and flip flops on a first date per se, not in this lifetime, not in the next.

[@InZaneKicks]

Bottom line grown men and women can do whatever we want to do. We work we provide and contribute to society and to have someone tell us what we can and cant wear especially if its a juvenile age group that is laughable. Like Eddie stated ,if it makes you feel good and confident go for it.

[@CuriusOdus11]

I’m in my 40s but been told I look a lot younger. I wouldn’t wear loud logo Ts though it’s never been my style. But a nice pair of cargos go well with anything . J1, 3 & 4s are perfect for any age too, though I must admit that I personally don’t think I could pull off J11-13

[@threeoneohh]

Honestly, I got into streetwear late into the game. I’m 30 and I always wondered if this is a style I will hold for years to come and if I’m getting too old for it. But then I realized that style is subjective. I agree with you that there should be a balance between casual streetwear and more formal mens wear, because there is a time and place to dress for certain occasions. Glad you brought this up and shed some light on this topic.

When I was 35 I decided it was time to “upgrade” my wardrobe. I spent around 6k dollars on button up shirts, suit jackets, slacks, shoes…. Etc. I tried for 2 months to wear the clothes I spent so much money on. I absolutely HATED everything I was wearing. I didn’t feel like me…. I wound up giving all of it to Goodwill. Most of the clothes still had the tags on them. I’m 43 now and I don’t see myself ever changing my style the way I tried to before. I do stay up on streetwear trends tho. I don’t rock them all, but if I try something new and I like the look, I integrate it into my style.

[@v.w.1000]

I understand, it’s like you can switch your style up but you don’t feel comfortable.

Sometimes when an older dude is wearing clothing generally associated with youth culture, they can be shining a spotlight on their older age. I agree, its all about context and occasion. Also, mixing street wear and more age appropriate styles can be cool for us older dudes.

Right on!!! living in HB calif those age ,what you wear lines are crossed a lot and while its all accepted ,it can look a little out of place on some older people but then if you have the attitude and don,t go off the deep end it all works,age lines are being drawn closer every year,so just be comfortable when looking at yourself and you,ll be cool with what your wearing and so will everyone else,you have to sell it ,when you wear it. thanks for a great topic,stay safe always✌☘🇺🇸🇺🇦

[@McStrokeAvision]

Who determines what’s age appropriate? It’s just clothes wear what you want to wear. What I will say is certain settings require a certain style of dressing. I wouldn’t go to a formal dinner with baggy jeans and a white tee for example. I also wouldn’t walk the street casually with a suit on for no apparent reason. There is a time and place for everything. I like wardrobe diversity personal. Sometimes I feel bapeish and sometimes I feel like purple label Ralph Lauren...
