Appreciate the advice OG but I have to disagree with you on sneakers. It’s all a matter of perspective and fashion is subjective. I agree with you on the super trendy stuff or big basketball type sneakers but Jordan 1’s have become for a generation of men what Converse Chuck Taylors are. They defy age. The mistake is when older dudes try to match their sneakers to their clothes and adopt younger trendy looks. It’s also an income disparity. When rich guys wear sneakers they are stylish (JayZ) average dudes are told to let it go. I don’t seek approval or permission from society to wear what makes me comfortable. Sneakers aren’t acceptable in every situation but when I’m running errands or even dressed casually I’m in sneakers. I used to wear a suit and tie everyday prior to working from home due to Covid. The last thing I wanted to wear was a blazer and hard bottoms after work or on weekends. Do you, wear what makes you comfortable. Respectfully.

I've never owned Jordan's but I can appreciate their aesthetic. I'm older so I wouldn't buy a pair now to wear but I think they can still work for men 40 plus if the rest of the 'fit' is good (tailored jeans, hoodie, fitted cap) That look has become timeless. What really help's 'sell' the look at a more 'advanced' age is staying relatively fit so exercise and diet are important. Really trendy sneakers are usually not a good look on anyone past age 20, more simple or streamlined sneakers are the way to go.

[@DoctorCiaran]

Honestly I feel like most of the points in this that I do agree with, also apply to me at 32, and to guys in their 20s. Oversized logos are trash no matter how old you are. On the other hand, sneakers and distressed jeans should look as good at 45 as they do at 25 if you are styling them correctly. Basically I think Jeff is making the mistake of assuming that over the top, brand obsessive hypebeast fashion is even appropriate for younger guys; it's not appropriate for anyone at any age, it always looks trash. Stylish menswear on the other hand, whether casual or smart, is timeless and not age restricted.

[@jamaalcharles3135]
