I have to say that this video would have a lot of value to anyone finding your channel for the first time. It just encapsulates the whole idea of what your channel is all about. Thank you!

John, I am telling you. You are the consummate male fashion consultant. I strongly believe that you have the eye to outfit just about any man. That said, I have almost 100% of what you presented in this video. You are a valuable asset to the fashion industry for men. Well done!

[DanielJKenda]

John, I follow you all the time and really appreciate your advice. I have followed a ton of it. There are a few good YouTubers in the men's fashion space, but you are the only one really concentrating on our age demographic, which is outstanding. The only things I would add to this list are a few must-have, basic accessories. Namely, belts to match your shoe choices (except for the white sneakers), one good pair of sunglasses in your favorite style (but not "sport" sunglasses), and a nice watch on a bracelet (probably stainless steel).

I literally emptied out my closet today and donated everything to Goodwill. My clothes were so outdated. It’s time to go hit the Nordstrom rack and get ready for Spring. Thanks for this video. This is exactly what I needed.

I am 60 and still wear white sneakers with shorts….
Who said you can’t wear shorts after 40 years of age…..
Keep going Johno
Great video!! 🦘

I would recommend a navy blue blazer as well.

[littleceasar]

Good list, I agree about the solid black sneakers, they remind me of what servers in restaurants wear.

[JakoubVeloso]

I am with all you suggest except the suede jacket when it wet 🌧️🌨️

Here in Western Canada one needs to seriously adjust for weather and style.

L.L. Bean has a very deep collection of shirts, polo, T-shirts, sweaters/shirts, sweaters, jeans. Their Double L Polo's are very nice & won't break the budget plus looks great after many years.

[Andoy]

John, loafers and derbys are my favorites ... can wear with anything from suits to jeans.

[KEITHZEALEY]

Loving the back to the basics videos. We all go off the rails sometimes and need a reset.

[carolbeck]

I have to say, when explaining and holding up garments, it’s wonderful to see a man with nice hands/nails. I appreciate that. Great basic content!

I am updating my wardrobe for the past 3 years, step by step. This video puts everything together perfectly! I couldn’t think of a better capsule wardrobe.

[SeanA.Skeete-wdvi]

Terrific commentary as usual John. 😊❤🎉💯 🙏.

[DavidLawsonGeneva]

Thanks John. This is the video I always wanted. I need to completely redo my wardrobe and had felt frustrated that I didn't know where to start. Your video is a blessing.

Personally, I am a sweater addict. I stopped counting at 80. I have them in every style, color and texture. They are all high quality and will last for years.

[kjquinn]

Good advice. I would also suggest talking about belts as a wardrobe basic. It's important to have the leather belt's color coordinate with the shoes otherwise the overall look becomes disjointed. I tend to like woven leather belts to go with jeans and smooth leather with a subdued buckle for a dressier look.

[gszabofan]

Thanks for the collared shirt mention. Loathe t shirts for myself unless they are layered. Collared shirt for any restaurant where an order is taken at the table.

This is timely for me John. I lean more towards classics. I’ve been away from the channel for a while but I’m back. I’m a little older (60s) and, like you, realized that without a trainer I was never going to get back in shape again. Lifting weighs and doing the cardio. It’s been about five weeks. I’m down probably 6 or seven pounds losing fat and building muscle. Nothing fits and I’m not sure where I’m going to end up.

I have very few clothes left to wear. And what I can wear are skinny jeans, not great, to say the least. So this is great for when I decide what to buy again. Thanks for clarifying the grey tints. I think 150 lbs. is the target and I’m down from 165 or so. I have the sweaters at least, some decent outer wear. And good shoes from Allen Edmonds, but really nothing else.
