How To LOOK BETTER Than Most ALL Other Guys This Season

[@Andoy12]

John, so right .. taking in pants and clothes to the tailor for a fit tweak, what a difference ...even inexpensive clothes look better .. with pants it could be anything .. baggy seat, crotch, length, legs too, ... also fix baggy shirts. Finally, i'm a fan of wearing a fitting sportcoat - dresses you up, slims you down, even over jeans and casual shoes.

[@40OverFashion]

100% agree!

[@brunopaolucci6054]

Hey John: Long sleeve polos have been my favourite cold weather top for over 30 years!

[@05Rudey]

In my area, just wearing clothes that fit properly with a brown pair of brogues and a sports jacket and i'm dressed better than 99%. Shame really.

[@40OverFashion]

Yep, same here in SoCal.

[@alleyoop1234]

Where I live, most wear plaid work jackets. But you get the choice of red or blue!

[@Mytruck5600tailights]

That's true anywhere. I live in the Chicago area. Of course, anytime I'm wearing a sport coat someone will say "nice suit." It's a compliment, but it's very hard to not say "its not a suit." LOL

[@lennypignatello7493]

Same her in North Carolina. You could wear an UNTUCKit shirt dark jeans and a pair of loafers can you be dress better than 99%.Seems like the NASCAR T-shirt cargo shorts and a pair of crocs never goes out of style here

[@Andoy12]

Lol it really doesn't take too much, just nice outfits that fit make a difference Shame that more men don't know how, I've paid attention to my clothes, and it works.

Good meeting you tonight. John. Thanks again for your videos

[@40OverFashion]

You too! Appreciate that Mike!

[@tomharrison2423]

I appreciate what you are doing for people over 40 who need fashion advice. I am 50 and in my job, I wear a uniform, so I don't have a lot of other clothes. Your channel is helping with that. The only complaint I have is that the models you use are many, many years away from 40, so it's hard to see what an older man would look like with your ideas. Anyway, thanks for doing what you are doing.

The watch tip caught my attention. I normally wear my FITBIT fitness band, day and night, however when I recently went to a classy dress up event, I swapped it out for a traditional watch. I had not worn this watch for several years. Because I have lost 50 lbs. over the past few years, I had to take out two links, so that it fit proper. It is a solar-powered Seiko, so I also had to charge it on the windowsill.

[@Mytruck5600tailights]

I greatly appreciate the valuable work you do for men. Your tips are widely respected and universally applicable. Personally, I tend to dress in a more formal and classic manner, prioritizing timeless style over fleeting trends. For instance, I always make sure to wear a sport coat before stepping out. However, that doesn't diminish my enthusiasm for your content. I diligently watch every single video you produce. Another commonality we share is our choice of suit maker, Daniel George. Thank you for consistently delivering informative and enjoyable content.

15 years ago I worked pipelining & facility work. EVERY day I had probably 100 people ask me what time it was, so one day I had enough of that. I took that watch off & have never except for special occasions wore a watch since. I do have a nice vintage swiss watch for the special times, maybe I should wear it more often..

[@40OverFashion]

[@callievanrensburg5050]

Hi John, I've been searching you posts somewhat, but I can't find something substantial on HAIRSTYLES? Did you maybe do a video on that? Kind regards, and keep up the good work! Callie

[@dougdavidson3260]

Great recommendations on the watches. Orient is owned by Seiko and either brands are a great value with style and dependability. Timex Weekender and other selections are such steals for under $50. Personally I think a decent analog watch says a lot about a man and his style. One should own a dress watch and a sport watch in my opinion at a minimum. With a dress watch just buy a black and a brown strap and easily swap out to match outfit.

[@TheGreggmelvin04]

[@DesertMav]

Great video as always, but I'll keep mt smart watch on. I have bought some straps and protective covers from amazon that will dress up my smarrt watch quite a bit.

[@strangerdanger8462]

I totally agree. Many moons ago, I was a high- end Swiss watch aficionado. Even though I couldn't afford any of them. Today, I can, but I now realize that smartwatches just make more sense. To double check myself, I walked half the length of the Bahnhofstrasse in Zurich, checking out the watches in the glitzy stores, but none of them rekindled that fire from years ago. It was then I realized my preference had truly changed. Long live the smartwatch. Plenty of them out there that look classy enough for any occasion.

[@svrocko1]

I don't get the smart watch thing. I have a smartphone for tech and a watch to tell the time. They just look better.

[@larrywatts3778]

Hey John, thanks for all the great videos. I have a question about winter white. Is winter white just simply a slight beige off white? I am looking for a pair of pants. Any suggestions?

[@40OverFashion]

Thank you! Currently, no videos on that topic, but definitely appreciate the suggestion!

[@svrocko1]

Classic hats look really cool. But you have to know how to wear them. If you wear them slightly tilted to the side with the brim down a bit in the front you will look cool and mysterious like Humphrey Bogart but if you wear it tilted back with the brim up high in the front you will look goofy.

Always loved your vlogs👊🏽 It’s funny how westerners want tanned skin and easterners want lighter skin. In the west my complexion is “exotic” and desired, in the east my complexion is average and somewhat unwanted. Skin whitening products, is an industry, that is worth millions a year in the east, same goes with tanning products in the west.

[@G.Charles73]

1. Lift weights / workout - That'll fix most of your issues. ALL clothes look better on a fit/in-shape man. 2. Don't be fat - Goes hand-in-hand with point #1. 75%+ of men are overweight, and roughly 50%+ of those considered obese. 3. If you're not in-shape, don't buy an expensive wardrobe. See point #1 and #2. 4. Get a decent haircut. No, Supercuts and Sportsclips do not qualify. Spend the money, trust me. 5. Fix your face - Bad teeth - fix them (no matter the cost). Bad skin / hygiene - clean that shit up. You're a grown ass man - act like it. 6. Stop dressing like a child, or saying 'I don't care how I look'. Saying you're not playing the game is another way of playing the game - a very poor one. If you are a man over forty (hell, probably over 20 or 30) and you're not fat and have muscle tone, you are miles ahead of the 'competition'. The bar for being a top-tier man is so incredibly low in the US, a modicum of effort is all it takes.

I haven't felt comfortable in jeans in a while and now i realize it is because the jeans I've had do not fit well. What kind of advice can you give me to find jeans that fit well before going to the Tailor? Keep up the good work my friend.

[@strangerdanger8462]

How about just go into the store on a day you have time. Try a few pairs on until you find one that fits right and comfortably.

[@ted8100]

@@strangerdanger8462 I’m just asking for a good place or brand to start with.

[@40OverFashion]

Yeah, it’s just a lot of in-person trial and error trying things on from different stores. As long as you get the waist and rise like you want, the rest can be handled with a tailor.

[@TuneinR]

At my job site,i am the only one who look presentable and clean all the time.The rest think or feel since it is a transport/logistic job, you have to be in shabby workwear and look unkempt.This is really a shame.

[@alwayspooh1588]

Oh my goodness - the low rise/high rise (which affects how jeans/trousers sit) is such an issue for me right now! Too high a rise, and the jeans are going up to my mid torso to sit right, too low and my nuts are suffocating! John, another ace video and you are touching on a common issue for guys with muscular thighs like me. Too low a crotch and we are one rap video away from Vanilla ice, too high and our balls are in our throats! Levi's 541 are the solution!

I've bought two pairs of boots and a leather jacket from Thursday Boots. I loved them except for detail ... they didn't fit me. Thursday doesn't have half sizes in their boots and the leather just didn't fit right. Fortunately, their return policy is very simple, easy, and quick. So feel free to tryout their stuff knowing you can get a refund if you need to return it.

[@bernardpiper2648]

It is too bad they didnt fit you, but it sometimes happens with certain brands. I have a pair of their lace up boots and they are high quality and very comfortable. IMO they are a good value for the price.

They definitely have half sizes, but I'd recommend you just buy better quality boots

Recently, I took your advice and had a shirt taken in. I don’t know about where you live, but the cost of that alteration was as much as that rather pricy shirt. A less expensive shirt? Not an option. My advice is to only buy properly fitting clothes in the first place, otherwise you can double the cost of your wardrobe. Tailor a suit? Absolutely. Everyday clothes? Nope.
