How to Dress Well in Your 40s, 50s and Beyond | Older Guy Style Tips

About this video

McGoff provides style guidance for men in their 40s, 50s, and beyond, outlining clothing to avoid and sharing expert advice from four stylish men over 40. He discusses specific strategies for looking polished without appearing to try too hard to seem younger, including color choices, tailoring, and upgrading basic pieces like sneakers and shirts.

Key takeaways

  • McGoff argues older men should avoid distressed jeans, graphic tees, athletic sneakers with casual wear, baggy or overly tight clothing, and backward baseball caps, as these read as trying too hard to appear young
  • McGoff recommends investing in high-quality timeless pieces in dark solid colors, minimal leather sneakers, collared shirts like OCBDs, and proper tailoring as foundational style principles for older men
  • McGoff suggests subtle ways to appear younger without overdoing it: wearing blue in formal wear, adding small pops of color, updating hairstyles, and ensuring clothes are well-fitted through tailoring
