I just copied this exact look at 6:03 for a party at a fairly elegant restaurant in town. All the ladies at my table gushed and complimented me. I got everything at the thrift shop for under $20 total. White chinos, cream silk jacket, blue striped shirt, and casual leather shoes. Instead of the pocket square, I plucked a flower from the yard and pinned it in the buttonhole. Can you wear both a pocket square + a boutonniere? The silk jacket was a hit, all the ladies were feeling it. (Little did they know I spent more to dry clean it than to buy it. )

[@aa-.-477]

Yes. Was searching for white jeans and sports coat pairing. This look here sold it for me

[@dham629]

I'm 46 and have always loved wearing white pants/jeans/shorts. My rule of thumb is always have several pair from linen to cotton, in case a pair get ruined. White is so fly with a nice pair of white drivers or sneakers and just about any solid shirt or one with white accents/print/trim.

[@hermanmutebi831]

You are exactly like Me with some test and same age 46 years old!

[@istp1967]

I'm 53 and love everything but the ripped jeans. White jeans yes, ripped jean no. And the light chambray shirt with the dark buttons and matching belt & shoes - Classy!! Liking and Sharing 😎👍👍👍

[@40OverFashion]

Thank you very much!

[@istp1967]

I'm a Fan 😀👍👍👍

[@DemetriosLevi]

Great looks and great taste in watches...I gotta say as a dude who loves sartorial looks and tropical gardening, I really appreciate those plant and house shots. So glad I found this channel

[@diosdadosantiago3360]

Awesome! Wearing white pants with confidence.

[@johnmyers7008]

John, you look great in white pants. You look so well put together, but to me the tears in the knees seem to distract from the look. Thanks so much, for your videos. I really appreciate your effort and sense of style! - John

[@40OverFashion]

Thanks John!

[@imranakbar8650]

Thanks John! I’m a 38 waste and wanted to try white denim. This is really helpful and thanks for taking the time to include big guys like me.👍🏼

[@tomselleck1924]

imran if you don't get it. picture this. those old women in the 90s wearing spandex thinking they were hot as chit. we knew better. old people trying to look cool is a laughing stock. p.s. don't wear spandex in public either.

[@VancouverVortex]

This was helpful as I dressed for a dinner tonight and thought I should get bold and wear those white jeans. It’s summer after all. Well after I arrived jaws hit the floor and everyone raved about how good I looked. That’s a nice reaction to get when I’m over 50. Thx man

[@40OverFashion]

That’s awesome! Well done!

[@albywhite5788]

New to your channel and absolutely loving it wish I had found it earlier your styles nothing to flash or fancy just great simple affordable every day every occasion fashion and with great advice

[@deannoble673]

Great timing for this video and some great looks here. And loving the message that fashion and looking good isn’t just for the kids. Great work 👍🏻

[@40OverFashion]

Thanks Dean!

[@ernierb65]

Really enjoy your channel John. Thanks for real and down to earth.

[@psalm23sheepdog]

I have a pair of white pants I bought 10 years ago for a special occasion. It was actually a bit casual attire, but the occasion was significant. I only can describe the pants as “boating” or “yachting” pants? A little loose fitting and a roll up with button design at the cuffs. Definitely not cargo pants! I only wore them one other time, but this inspires me to try it again. This will give me an excuse to shop for a shirt!

[@SirWallton]

Great outfits. I liked it. Especially the two with shirts, I think yoy nailed it with does two and also the patterns when wearing a jacket. 👌

[@ianarn]

Cream Stone and Ivory works with everything you put on top and is less a stark contrast than white.

[@dynochronlock]

Ian Arnold agreed

[@melbman43]

Thanks John for explaining the underwear problem, grey hey, we never knew that in the eighties when we all wore them with white shoes.

[@dynochronlock]

totally love the white pants got 2 pair myself... and with the white blue stripped Ralph Lauren rocks it out...

[@sergiomontes5534]

Great video and outfits minus the distressed denim!!

[@SABOREAME68]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Needless to say, the first outfit is my favorite with the striped shirt and beige striped jacket plus the white pants, the entire ensemble looked very sharp.

[@eliasshaer1235]

Thanks I just purchased white pants and blue tassels shoes- really informative

[@40OverFashion]

Awesome!

[@jthwang4841]

Great video. Best one out there for white pants! Kind of late for the year here in Chicago, but looking to pull it off tomorrow! Thanks.

[@quiquetall]

Really nice options! The third one, with the linen blazer (I am guessing it's linen) looks so chic. The rip jeans on the second look: not for me. I did that in the late 80's when I was a teenager. I am almost 42 now so no ripped jeans for me anymore :)

[@hanifmacca]

you werent in your teens in the late 80s if you were born in '77 mate. nice try though ;)

[@quiquetall]

@@hanifmacca Ahhhh, in 1989 I was 12 so.... maybe yes? :)

[@duanebonini2381]

Great combos. Yes a little out of my comfort zone but I will give it a try! Thanks

[@Everydaygentleman]

I'm definitely a fan of white pants, nice outfits bud 👍🏼

[@cairomitchell3552]

Pro trick : watch movies at flixzone. I've been using them for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.

[@ralphahmed7669]

@Cairo Mitchell Yup, been watching on Flixzone for since december myself :D

[@hughmarc9373]

@Cairo Mitchell Yea, I've been using Flixzone for years myself :)

[@dantekyle6252]

@Cairo Mitchell Yup, I have been using flixzone for since november myself :)

[@briggsmalcolm1102]

@Cairo Mitchell Yup, been watching on flixzone for months myself :D

[@garyabrahams7609]

I have always wondered how to wear white bottoms . Thank you John and I have to say the look book, video, music and of course outfits was classic, tasteful and excited masculine confidence

[@40OverFashion]

Thank you very much Gary!

[@robmarchand7421]

Timing couldn’t of been better. Great video......thx!

[@40OverFashion]

Thanks Rob!

[@jamesmurray3128]

Another helpful video John. I would however not do distressed jeans over 40. I would also do "No brake" hemming. As a brake creates shadowing at the end of your pant leg.

[@40OverFashion]

Yeah, this video is five years old. Thanks for the feedback.

[@-art3544]

Not sure if I could pull it off....but it definitely gives you a nice refined/classy look. Nice job John!

[@40OverFashion]

Thank you Art!

[@ronniemack4831]

Great video. You are one of my top 2 fashion channels. I was always watching this other fashion cannel, but he is not as bold with his outfits as you are. You should be on a runway or in magazines. I like all of these outfits. Im glad to see you are not wearing scuffed up shoes, lol as in previous videos.

[@40OverFashion]

Thanks for watching Ronnie!

[@josephbuttigieg7986]

Great ideas John.

[@peterredit9556]

Some great combinations Johno…. I always get white pants dirty 😂 They look great though 👍 My white pants are chino’s which are a great fit…. Great work as usual mate 👏👏

[@mariobrito3127]

I love your channel , ever greats videos . I am a big fan from BRAZIL

[@ronm6585]

Some very sharp looking outfit combinations. Thanks John.

[@40OverFashion]

Thank you very much Ron!

[@michaelaustell8377]

Beautifully shot look book John. I have a pair of white Banana Republic Traveler jeans, now I have some ideas on how to rock them ! Thanks

[@40OverFashion]

Thanks Michael!

[@Daimodess]

Lookin sharp! That last outfit in particular-you look like a million bucks.

[@40OverFashion]

Thank you!

[@AssembledStyle]

the lookbook is quality stuff John. Great outfits too!

[@40OverFashion]

Thanks Richard!

[@crestfinancehrconsulting6727]

White is my favorite pants and I have two and can be paired with any colors

[@hughmaddog5862]

Cool vid. What colour shoes do you think are most safe with white???

[@ReconSniper71]

Hey John, Nice look with white…I also have a couple of pairs of white chinos not jeans and wear them to work and out on the town with friends. Your jacket is a very good pair up with the pants, to bad I don’t have the same one. Keep it up my friend.

[@40OverFashion]

Thank you!

[@nawflingtensai6660]

Hi , can you make a video to explain how to layer colour in clothes for men , i mean how to choose which color of the pants together with the color of the tshirt of shirt and the shoes. thank you.

[@tjblues01]

Sir, you look as a million bucks in all and every outfit you pull off :-) And those white pants... are beyond cool :-) Love it!

[@40OverFashion]

Thank you!

[@jctmanu]

Love the outfit ideas! I have several white pants and this was very helpful. Love your channel!

[@40OverFashion]

Thanks John!

[@cesarmejia1900]

Love your channel ... wish you would do a video on colors that look best on men with silver hair. Yes, I'm a member of the club too, lol.

[@ronniemack4831]

Keep rocking those ripped jeans. Everyone over 40 can't. Some people have it and some don't. Im 64 and I will wear cut up jeans. You gotta have the look and confidence. Stay young brother.

[@40OverFashion]

Thanks Ronnie!

[@AlainCorona]

This video came at a perfect time for me. I have a pair of white denim that I've had for 2 years and only worn once. I definitely need to get them hemmed since now understand why I wasn't too happy with the look. The last outfit with the sports jacket was real nice. Might have to use that color combination when I get them back from the tailor and are fitting better.

[@40OverFashion]

Nice Alain! Get those suckers tailored. :)

[@jaybrooklyn2092]

I’m in my 40’s and I really want to learn how to dress like this great video awesome tips

[@40OverFashion]

Thank you!

[@HopeOfJoe]

Fabulous ‼️ 👍 Thanks, John. ✌🏻️

[@tonymaiettasr.7340]

John, just turned 68 and lost 30 pounds (feeling great). Now none of my clothes fit. Went from 38 to 33 waist. Donated all my XL shirts. Even some Large are too big depending on style. It gets hot and humid here in Chicago so I think I might be able to pull off the white chinos. Great channel.

[@40OverFashion]

Thanks Tony! Congratulations on loosing the 30 lbs!

[@MmeDesgranges]

The SKX009 is working well

[@abmorose6531]

MmeDesgranges The awesome watch is not a SKX 009 , its a fabulous Seiko Turtle SRP779 on steel bracelet. Its just Pops! man

[@lcatalla7292]

Very nice! I'm diggin this style and may have to get a white pant/jeans now after watching this episode. Keep 'em coming brother!

[@40OverFashion]

Thank you!

[@dannydarko371]

Yep, you’ve got that look spot on

[@youtold7727]

I’m 58’ and own a pair of white pants. Last summer I had company in town and friends of friends joined. Two of the women stated how well I looked in my white pants. They said it takes a certain guy to pull off white pants. I accepted the compliment with some modesty. I never thought anything about it till then. In my opinion I think having a great tan, some leg muscles and a nice look in the crotch is what makes a man look good in white pants. I don’t mean that in a ignorant or perverse way. It just all goes together fine.

[@gabrielcantu7532]

Great video. Love the outfits. Thank you.

[@40OverFashion]

Thanks for your comment Gabriel!

[@Latinart]

Agree on this video, very informative. I just wore my white fitted denim last weekend it was a hit!!!

[@40OverFashion]

Nice, thanks!

[@robinson101011]

Hi John, Great video. I feel distressed jeans have really run its course especially with the over 40 group. Anymore, it's looking like they are trying too hard to be hip. Any thoughts?

[@40OverFashion]

Hi! Thank you! I guess it depends really. Some guys can look a little 'off' in distressed denim, while other guys look just fine. Maybe it's a confidence thing or an overall body type thing.

[@johncevallos6593]

I really appreciate your videos! Great fashion tips!

[@mike42441]

Great advice, and nice sport jacket, too. Thank you, John!

[@40OverFashion]

Thanks for your comment Mike!

[@jeckslerouge5026]

Look great, white pants=spring vibes, great Watch to, this Seiko Turtle look amazing and very confortable

[@40OverFashion]

Thanks Jecks!

[@kurjan1]

I am 48 and absolutely love my white jeans/pants. I usually wear them with my blue SR jacket or TF electric blue velvet jacket. It’s funny how you said that they are a bit out there or bold what have you... I just see them now as being a perfectly normal part of my wardrobe. One thing though... be careful of dirty seat belts.

[@adp007able]

Great video, white pants look great in the summer. Pleased you talked about what underwear to wear underneath, always make me laugh if I see a guy with black undies under white shorts or pants, not a good look 🤣

[@virgilhammond4519]

This over 50 brother digs your style my man. Nice work I ordered 12 pair of white jeans from Macy’s to try on because of my size. I kept one pair, sent back the rest. So for my more muscular guys, Calvin Klein and Sean John have a little more room with a taper. Going to try BRepulic next stay tuned

[@40OverFashion]

Nice! Thanks for your comment Virgil!

[@Bman310]

Wow - that grey matching shirt belt shoe look is awesome.... you’ve inspired me to attempt the same theme with blue ... thanks for the video - a whole breakdown of white pants and you didn’t reference Sonny Crockett once lol

[@40OverFashion]

Hahaha! Good one!

[@ahrendt80]

Thank you. Great outfits again!

[@joespanojr]

Excellent as always

[@40OverFashion]

Thank you very much!

[@TheDapperAristocrat]

Great video! I enjoyed the Lookbook.👍🏾

[@40OverFashion]

Thank you very much my friend!

[@jdc8774]

Like the look but am unsure if the climate in the Northeast allows it. Very short time period between cold and humid and am not sure I would be comfortable unless the weather was more SoCal.

[@santiagoataguile7473]

Hi John, I’m new in your channel. Great video. How about a video regarding how to dress (fashion and confortable) for a 12 hours flight trip? Thanks and cheers from Buenos Aires.

[@ll-nm8he]

I'm thinking off wearing white pants for court room but not sure if it's a good idea lol

[@ElBoyoElectronico]

Nice one! I would love to rock white pants but having short AND really muscular thighs, they don't work for me. I loved every look besides the second one, I generally don't like distressed pants, but distressed white pants are weird, because they - as you said - are more formal, which doens't match with the casual vibe. But of course it is all taste.

[@klarissaclairiton9010]

The opening frames were beautiful - very well done ! White in summer is never a bold choice my man. If in doubt try off-white LOL

[@40OverFashion]

Thanks for your comment!

[@ImpaxFilmsNashville]

Another great video. Really enjoy and appreciate you and you advice and channel. Really top shelf. 40 0ver fashion? Genius.

Looking great man

best video yet

[@spicykimchi1]

Hi, which Anson belt strap are you wearing at the 5:03 mark? I looked on their site, and I can't tell if it's the grey leather one, grey micro-patina, or even their beige micro-suede. I want to get a pair of white pants this summer, and that belt you have is a must-have. Thanks!

[@bubbie23jw]

I love rocking white jeans got a pair of polo jeans slim fit for $20🥰🥰😱 I also have white & off white jeans but I love those rip white ones u are rocking never thought of that gonna Graphic a pair this week! Always great info always on point

[@40OverFashion]

Thanks John!

[@donyoung2185]

Very classy , and by the way I’m 60 and I own several pairs of ripped jeans. It’s how and when you wear them.

[@40OverFashion]

Exactly Don!

[@MrFaboozer]

Thanks for the enlightening video. Always loved the Black & White look! What do you think of the pairing of an Indigo Denim L/S Shirt with a White Chino and what shoes (color & type) to complete the look? Cheers mate ☺

[@40OverFashion]

Thanks for your comment! That would be a great combo! You could go with just about anything in any shade of brown, or even blue.

[@unf8able01]

Great look book and video all around✌

[@carlosyamara]

Great looks, except for the ripped jeans one. It just makes you look like the creepy guy walking past the High School, if you know what I mean. The one with the jacket was spot on incredible. Great job.

[@40OverFashion]

Sorry, but I actually have no idea what you mean. Thanks for your comment though!

[@carlosyamara]

40 Over Fashion I’m not being mean spirited when I say this, it’s like the old Chris Rock joke about the guy who isn’t really old but he’s a little too old to be in the club. I find that the ripped pants look like the guy is trying just a tad too much to look like one of the kids. Everything else is spot on.

[@40OverFashion]

Thanks man. Appreciate the feedback and clarification. We all have our own opinions, and style is very subjective and personal. I've mentioned this before, but I teeter on the line between older and youthful with my style and this is a way of 'cautiously' dipping my toe into some current trends and trying new things. My body hasn't failed me yet which allows me to pull off some things other guys might not try. Not everything I do is a hit, but I do understand classic menswear and I'm just not afraid to try new stuff from time to time. Thanks again for your comment!

[@WilliamHarris-yy2cr]

John, I love the way you dress. That last ensemble... like buttah!

[@richardpellis]

I visited a few of the links and will say that the stores should be hiring you for the style modeling or actually modeling the clothes themselves. Your outfits/combos look better than the ones they include with their products. I also wanted to say that I like the quality of your intro. Whomever you hired to put it together did a great job on image choices, the music, and flow.

[@40OverFashion]

Thank you very much!

[@AlainCorona]

Yea the intro is very good.

[@GokkunGuru]

I love your videos and your style.👍🏻

[@40OverFashion]

Thank you!

[@paulpohopien709]

Love the show....never miss a single one. May I ask who manufactures the thin sole shoes that look grey but you mention are actually brown? Again great content and being a Southern California native all these looks hit really close to home!

[@40OverFashion]

Hey Paul. Thanks! I linked to them in the video description from Nordstrom Rack.

[@paulpohopien709]

Bought them thanks! Keep up the excellent content.

[@davegoetz8157]

If there's one complete outfit that I'd like to copy, it's your look in the beginning at :06. I'm a bit too fair-skinned to pull off all of those light colors, though.

[@juandavila2233]

Hi, John. Following just recently. Love your post. I have not seen you addressing ties: lenghth, types... What shirts go with ties and which do not? Could you?

[@juandavila2233]

Thanks for answering. I know the subject of ties could take a while, but it would be very helfull if you could also a address the ties thickness, appropriate knots, and also recommendations for shirts, sport jackets and suits. Looking foward for more posts. Thank you, John.

[@sjg3525]

Awesome video superb style..loved it 👍🏻👍🏻😊

[@40OverFashion]

Thank you!

How are you doing your hair? I am looking everywhere for that look!

Checked it out. Awesome. I will own my hair!

[@sandro3390]

[@40OverFashion]

Ha! Thanks Liam!

[@markwagner4909]

Sharp as always

[@40OverFashion]

Thanks Mark!

[@briangrossett3381]

I like the grey and white combo. But I was wondering if solid colour grey blazer would look better than a stripe blazer. Although I think either would work fine

[@40OverFashion]

Hey Brian! Yes, both would look great! The light tan jacket is just a little less contrasty, but gray would look good too! Thanks for your comment!

[@fifiimensah4136]

Would it be ok to wear white pants to my high school graduation?

[@matt1023]

I love the shirt you’re wearing in the talking parts - perfect collar. Where is that from??

[@40OverFashion]

I think it’s Calvin Klein.

[@darrenchichester9777]

RIPS????? Oh man you just broke my heart there. LOL. The worst idea ever. Worked in the 90s. Not now. Great vid per usual. Cheers from Bermuda!

[@cesarmarx]

White pants looks great, And your channel is just awesome.

[@40OverFashion]

Thank you!

[@ricorico9822]

One step up the difficulty scale: what shoes would you suggest for white business pants (not jeans, not cotton chinos, that's too easy. Rather polyester-ish)? I know it's not easy..

[@40OverFashion]

Depends on everything else, but medium to light brown is a very versatile shoe color.

[@ttop64]

Does the old rule of only wearing white between Memorial Day and Labor Day still apply these days or has that gone by the wayside? I know I'll wear my white jeans before and after that time frame. Up to 80K subs. Thumbs up.

[@40OverFashion]

I don't think the 'rule' necessarily applies, especially here in SoCal. I also see both men and women breaking the tradition. White pants were also huge this winter at Pitti Uomo.

[@johnborges5938]

I think this rule only ever made sense in very temperate climates and reflects a very provincial view. In subtropical climes or SoCal it makes no sense at all.
