People tend to label men or women trying to stay on trend as ‘trying too hard.’
This can come off rude at times but it is a fact that styling over 50s can be a legit task.
However, this can be a battle for men as women have tons of options to choose from.
A man can either opt for pants and a shirt or go for an ethnic look. However, this is not the case now.
You can give yourself a taste of your younger time by taking into consideration the following styling tips for men who have crossed the age limit of 50.
Let’s get started.
1. Opt for subtle colors
Choosing your color palette is an important step. Over the age bar of 50, one should start opting for colors that look neutral and simple. Earthy shades such as beige, pastel green, and brown should be your best friend, and bright shades such as red, orange, and yellow should leave your wardrobe.
2. A big no to jeans
One can opt for cargos as they look comfortable and fashionable with a look of not trying too hard. However, fitted jeans make your posture look odd, and paired with a t-shirt look more awkward, exuding no hint of professionalism, as men at times walk into their office wearing jeans where pants should be an option.
3. Embrace accessories
To stay on trend and not to try hard, start wearing watches and sunglasses whenever required which would make you look fit, classy, and on point. These are basic necessities in an outfit and they uplift the whole look within seconds. Accessories do not always mean rings and neck chains but the minimal the better.
4. Get your fits tailored
There are a handful of people who tailor their outfits as they cross the age bar of 50. Most of them prefer wearing a showroom-fitted t-shirt with jeans which look outdated and cheap. However, altered pants with shirts look chic and give a fitted look according to your aged body type.
5. Mix formals with casuals
To look fresh and great, one can opt for mixing casual and formal clothing items from time to time. With a fitted pair of jeans, one can wear a white shirt, but not a T-shirt which looks decent and stylish as well. On the other hand, you can also wear a t-shirt underneath a blazer look which might look casual and professional at the same time. Thus, keeping this mix and match looks active but in a graceful limit.
