I'm a New York transplant living in the Atlanta area for over 20 years and I find the guys here dress way too "casual" for me. To be honest, everything changed since COVID in 2020 and it seems no one wants to dress "nice" anymore except; me of course😂😅. Great "stuff" as usual John😊❤🎉💯.

Feel naked without a sports jacket. Live in a metropolitan city.
Dude wore a t-shirt and jeans to a quality jazz lounge the other day. Ugh.

100% agree, I was about 35 when I decided to dress better those first stages were very simple, like brown brogues/ chukka boots instead of sneakers. A Polo/ Tucked in button down shirt instead of a graphic-T a Barbour quilted Chelsea Jacket instead of a Hoodie. Later, other items fell into place, better fitting dark blue non distressed jeans or chinos, a smart casual Navy Blazer and the finishing touches like putting on a half decent watch (I had a 38mm Tag Heuer Pro 2000, which was a graduation present from 10 years before) and a daily cologne (I started off with Old Spice, cheap but pleasant imho). Just those little changes as well as dropping some weight and being more well groomed, I simply felt more grown up, more professional at work and not to sound a snob, felt more middle class, felt like the person I wanted to be, that for some reason was too scared or lost my esteem to be.

Know I’m “old” at 71 but think it started with Casual Friday years ago and it got out of hand which humans will do. Saw a kid going into 10th grade this year wearing T shirt and shorts. The teachers look the same. There is a reason military and law enforcement wear uniforms. People get lazy. Wife compliments all the time about how “put together “ she looks. The bar is not high but most people sinking to the lowest level as people do. I dress so my spouse can be proud to be seen with me too.

Some of this comes down to trying. Just show you’ve given some thought to what you put on, and that you’re making an effort to present your best self. Great video as always!

Thanks, John, for the sport coat idea recently added to wardrobe, three colors, navy, tan and blue .. immediately sets off everything and better dressed right off the bat. Been tough to do during the heat waves, but for most of the year it's a winner.

I always felt that combining the outfit of the day was hard. Then I got myself jeans, chinos and belts in different colors. Suddenly it became much easier to combine an outfit to match the season, weather and activity. Having options and a wardrobe mostly in the neutral color palette that John often talks about has made it easy and fun to choose outfit.

YES, finally. 🎉 T-shirt is pajama!!

Only looks good on fit young guys. Men dressing like toddlers... 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ (including myself not long ago, anyone can change 😎)

[noName-knlx]

Just wearing a good polo shirt jeans and good shoes can elevate you against the mass of men wearing ill fitting mismatched clothes

[tendraftsdeep]

While I agree about graphic Tshirts for the most part, there's nothing wrong with rocking a rock and roll shirt if under a nice black denim or leather jacket for a show or casual weekend trip out with your fine lady. Like anything especially when you get older, you've just got to know how to do it right! Great video

I admire this gentleman having to say the same thing over and over again to men all year long. It's not that hard to dress for your age, and it's not that hard to find quality stuff that matches. When I started my journey to dress better, I started asking chicks to come shopping with me. They upped my game big time, and now I just know what works and what looks amazing anytime anywhere. Many women, especially those that just want to be your friend, will be more than happy to help. #lmao

After going self employed and working from home I have not worn a suit in 18 years (except one funeral) plus we moved to Southern Spain at the same time which is class less either by money or dress code. You can dress up or down for dinner no one cares, it is still strange see one table all smart and another group in shorts and flip flops. I tend to wear shorts and linen shirts in summer and jeans and t shirts / long sleeve tops in winter (rare to drop below 10c in the day) I do think my causel style is two fingers up (UK) one finger up (US) towards my corprate life of three peice suits, braces, pocket square, shirt and tie etc etc. In the 18 years of leaving the UK I think I have clean shaved about four times. I call my style Boho chic well thats what my wife says. Great video and keep up the great work.

You pretty much nailed it John. Not 40 yet but I am slowly approaching it as I'm currently in my middle 30's so the videos are truly helpful. OCBDS, Long sleeve Linens, Basic Dress shirts, sweaters, slacks, and Chinos are all part of my wardrobe. I'm growing a little out of the jeans as I get older but I still keep 2 pairs around.

[ChalupaHoopaBasketball]

Sports Jacket is a really clean look with nice sneakers

[samalagba]

Result of gym attendance showing.... Keep it up

[matthewcormier]

I'm a man getting as much knowledge as possible this helps

[sparkyblazeup]

As Mark Mcilyar of Live Anabolic always says "Don't give up on yourself!"

[robertofont]

John, you can sell just about anything. I like that you emphasize classing up what one's personal style. you have been a huge, positive influence on my clothing choices. I always say to myself, "What would John say/think?" thank you!

[TxmmyBeats]

I don’t even know what my style is. It’s definitely casual, but idk how to describe it. This Black Friday I’m gonna upgrade my wardrobe 🙏🏻

[Marsquest-rqkp]

I try to follow the “style rules”, and dress my age, but I must admit, dressing was way more FUN, when I was a young man. In my opinion, following the “rules” doesn’t leave much room to stand out…but I follow them anyway.
