Getting older doesn't mean dressing older

About this video

McGoff discusses seven common style mistakes men make as they age, arguing that looking good over 40 is about dressing authentically for your personality and lifestyle rather than following arbitrary rules or trying too hard. He emphasizes the importance of respecting dress codes and occasions, taking care of skin and hair, allowing your style to evolve with changing silhouettes, and maintaining intentionality about your appearance even during busy life stages.

Key takeaways

• McGoff argues that dressing well is about picking a direction (casual or dressy) and executing it authentically for the occasion, rather than confusing formality with quality or adding blazers arbitrarily
• McGoff recommends men reject the “real men don’t care” mentality and embrace grooming practices like hair coloring, skincare, and using styling tools, which he argues reflects maturity rather than femininity
• McGoff suggests evolving your style by updating silhouettes (moving from overly slim to roomier fits) and incorporating new pieces while maintaining classic staples, and anchoring trendier items with mature accessories like watches or leather bags
• McGoff advises regularly auditing your wardrobe, experimenting with new brands and styles, investing in quality haircuts, and maintaining a swipe file of style inspiration from men you admire
