What NOT To Wear If You're Over 40 | Style Tips For Older Men

About this video

Weston addresses common styling questions from older men, covering alternatives to white sneakers, how fitted clothing differs from tight clothing, methods for adding personality through accessories and patterns, and specific items to avoid when dressing over 40 to prevent looking like one is trying too hard to appear young.

Key takeaways

• Weston argues that fitted clothing means tailored to complement your frame, not tight—aim for one to two inches of pinch on either side of the stomach
• Weston recommends navy, gray, or charcoal sneakers as middle-ground alternatives to white for men uncomfortable with that option
• Weston advises avoiding leather jackets (except matte-finish bombers), logo t-shirts, distressed denim, v-necks, and Henleys for men over 40, as these read as trying too hard to appear young
• Weston suggests adding personality through subtle accessories like watches, watch straps, rings, patterned socks, and pocket squares rather than loud, obnoxious styling choices
