How To Dress Well In Your 40s and Beyond | Men's Style Over 40
About this video
Sacawa offers guidance on developing age-appropriate style for men over 40, arguing that better style requires intentional effort rather than happening naturally with age. He covers practical tips including moving beyond college-era fashion, dressing appropriately for one’s body type, maintaining personal grooming, avoiding streetwear branding, choosing minimal sneakers, and investing in quality casual outerwear with attention to fit and fabric details.
Key takeaways
- Sacawa argues that dressing like you did in college—oversized pants, untucked shirts, flip-flops—doesn’t make you look younger and signals you haven’t evolved your style as you’ve aged
- Sacawa recommends building a foundational wardrobe with at least one quality suit, a sport coat, dress shirts, and trousers, tailored to fit your specific body type
- Sacawa emphasizes that personal grooming—trimmed eyebrows, nose and ear hair maintenance—can significantly impact how youthful you appear
- Sacawa suggests avoiding athletic shoes and streetwear branding in favor of minimal, clean sneakers and quality casual jackets with thoughtful fabrics like suede, wool, or corduroy
