Buying A Suit As A Middle Aged Man - Style & Color Tips - Fashion Tips For Forty Something Men
About this video
Centeno provides suit-buying guidance for middle-aged men, emphasizing that the ideal style depends on career field and body composition. He walks through specific recommendations for jacket construction, fabric selection, and trouser details to flatter a typical middle-aged build carrying weight in the midsection.
Key takeaways
- Centeno argues that career field should determine suit conservativeness—creative professionals have more style flexibility than those in finance, law, or banking
- Centeno recommends two-button jackets with regular lapels and double vents for men with midsection weight, as these features elongate the torso and allow comfortable pocket access
- Centeno suggests darker fabrics like charcoal and medium grey over black or navy, as these better balance greying hair and create a more uniform appearance without harsh contrast
