How To Dress Casual As A Grown Man (Stop Dressing Like A Teenager) 

The best way to dress casual is wearing an Akatsuki cloak and a Naruto headband everywhere you go.

For anyone out there who are constantly afraid of how you dress, if there's one thing I learned growing up is that, unless your fashion senses are abysmally broken, it doesn't really matter how you dress as long as you wear it with pride. I live in a big city, Montréal Canada to be precise, where everyone has a different style due to the staggering amount of diversity we have here. No matter what I wear, whether I'm rocking a semi-formal getup or wearing the geekiest shirts I possess, I always get smiles at me or sometimes have strangers strike up a conversation. From what my friends and loved ones told me, it's simply because I exude confidence and approachability whenever I walk or talk to someone. Your dressing style is a reflection of who you are at your core. I rather you dress in what makes you feel comfortable than trying to dress like someone you're not just to satisfy social norms. Be yourself, don't let shame guide your life. I'm more likely to talk to someone who dresses with passion instead of conformity. Authenticity is everything.

I think beeing a grown man is recognizing that you shouldnt give a fk about what others think about you

Would've helped to have more visual examples instead of maximizing camera time on yourself

I’m in my 40’s but I’ve been wearing the same style (3 different pairs) brown leather, low top Timberland boots since I was 17. It is amazing how versatile and timeless leather can be, both shoes and jackets.

"When you simplify, you diversify..." So true, and it's awesome that this quote rhymes!

Amazing how people can devote their whole lives to the deciding which clothes people should wear. I dress for the evironment I'm in, it's really that simple.

9:40 - I like mixing "juvenile" looking pieces with elevated elements such as the faded blue denim jacket you mentioned here paired with a dress shirt and dress pants using elevated weaves and fabrics along with elevated accessories like a silk neckerchief. I think combinations like these plays with these traditional tropes which then conveys a unique story.

I dress how I want. The standards I go by are my own. The only person I aim to please is myself.

I had an epiphany the other day. Most men don’t understand what it means for clothes to fit you properly. We grew up wearing clothes that were too big for us because our moms would buy clothes too big for us because we would grow into them and she didn’t want to waste too much money when we grow out of them. Now we have a generation of men who thinks wearing oversized tshirts and always pulling up your pants is normal.

This is good reinforcement, thank you. I worked out the plain fitted T-shirt and dark slim jeans thing a while ago - more out of laziness/simplicity than because of any sense of style (plus you save cash by not wearing ‘branded’ Tees). Can team those two simple base items with a casual sports jacket, cardigan or classy fitted utility jacket. Same with footwear. Dress it up with leather shoes/boots, or even down to a pair of fresh/clean Vans slip-ons (…beachside locale). Can also add a flat cap, scarf etc to suit weather conditions.

Fashion is open-ended and open to individual perspective/ interpretation. There’s no one way of dressing- you can’t say what’s grown up or not, nor what’s business wear or not. I.e. Mark Zuckerberg/ Dana White.

Courtney, you came right on time with this video. Recently, I have been losing a lot of weight, so I have to go through a whole wardrobe adjustment. I want to dress more mature and grown, not only for myself, but to come off like a man to women. Thank you so much, this helped a lot.

Regardless of age, sometimes a man still wants to feel youthful, a graphic T-shirt can bring out some liveliness from your inner rockstar or skater. Your style should be an expression of yourself, and so while its important to know how to dress as an adult when it's needed, it's also true that adults aren't monolithic, and that it's okay to dress in a way that inspires a younger crowd just getting into fashion to be expressive.

This women is very nice she said you can wear what you want she just wants to help us

Just a tourist here. It seems like there's a lot of emphasis on 'how you will be perceived'. I understand the whole 'first impression' line-of-thought - but the person who would dismiss me because of a first impression is not a person whose opinion and friendship I would value. I'm an older man now. I'm past the 'caring what people think about me' part of my life. If fashion is your thing, by all means pursue it. This seems to be a good channel for this. I definitely agree with the 'no logos' opinion. But confidence, empathetic listening and a good sense-of-humor will get you much more respect than fashion ....at least to the people who matter in your life.

Getting outfit advice from a sane women is actually a good idea. When my mom would pick out my outfits I always got more attention from girls.

As a 41yr old I agree with simple clothing. That being said, I still get compliments on my geeky graphic Ts when I choose to wear them because they fit well. Don't take your fashion cues from Billie Elish and make sure your clothes fit you, whatever they are.

I wear what I want to wear.I’m not here to please anyone.Just be you, don’t let age stop you from being you.

The outfit doesnt make you, you make the outfit!

Ultimately guys, just be self observant. Recognise when your clothing is getting tatty, no longer fits or is perhaps just a little outdated. That said though, do you. I absolutely love what Courtney does, but we also need to remember that this is somewhat her taste in men and her opinion on fashion. Another huge point is that when you are yourself, you attract who likes you for you and you'd never have to pretend to be someone you're not. Ever since I've started buying my own clothes, I've had compliments about how I dress, and I mostly put this down to knowing myself and thinking outside the box. I know what suits me, and I don't follow fashion which means I often stand out (for good reason based on the compliments haha). If everyone was dressing as Courtney recommended, do you really think we would all flourish, or would this standard then become stale? As a digital creative, I understand colour theory so implement matching/opposite colours, seasonal palettes as well as what compliments my skin tone. I'm 33 and my dress sense hasn't really changed all that much (except things have become better fitting), i've just brought in new elements. Just do you, but question where you could be going wrong so to not get so comfortable.

Happy new year Courtney! I’m a man (like majority of your viewers) and I love your videos so much, especially your fashion type of videos. Keep up the good work and I hope all is well.

As im getting older and getting in shape fitted outfits is a game changer but what's defines your personality and what you do should also reflect how you dress or maybe not.

I agree with a lot of this. I'd add that's important to think about colours, too. I look for colours that go with other clothes I own and colours that go with my skin, hair and eye colours.

A similar video for young men at work would be good. There seems to be no boundary between casual and work settings since Covid. I am 60 year old man and can remember the exact day in the 1990s when wearing a suit at work was no longer required at my employer (an investment bank) so its been coming for some time. I haven't worn a suit for 3 years and now am working in an office environment again have had to find a whole new smart casual but professional look. Younger professional men around me just look a mess quite often. I go for smart chinos, brogue shoes, button down or stiff collared short and quarter zip pullover. I do wear more casual when working from home but still need to be online and want to look good on camera in Teams meetings as I often am. I just don't think wearing T shirts, training shoes and even track suits and baggy jumpers is a good look in any work setting.

Totally agree with this. purchasing clothing without paying a premium for logos means you can usually get better quality material on an item of clothing that will stay in style for a longer period of time. Classic men pieces can stay in style for decades like a Harrington jacket or aviator sunglasses. I personally don’t understand the appeal of Gucci or LV. You are paying a lot of money to purchase a product that makes you look fake rich.

One idea for casual wear I’ve considered is both denim slacks and also jacket with a sweater. The look I would be going for is almost like a formal suit but completely in denim.

I grew up being dressed the way my parents wanted to dress during their poverty days, Jordans, graphic tees, i didnt sisnt really care untill I was 24. 25 now and I have grown a cologne arsenal, skin care routine, hair care and now clothing, slimming down, overall a glow up and maturity clicking in 😊 The way I dress is business formal, i adore horween leather boots, good ole maghanni shoes

One thing I’ve learned, it’s all about the fit. Suit, jeans, athletic attire, t-shirts, it all comes down to fit. Get your clothes tailored, I get just about everything tailored outside of the obvious. Remember this tip fellas, a 100$ suit will hit right if the fit is right.

I see lots of videos about how men should dress their age. Then I see older women posting selfies in bikinis, naked, tight ripped jeans, colored hair, botox which looks unnatural, or wearing outfits that they definitely can't pull off anymore. Quite frankly, women are the ones who need these videos.

1. I get it loud and clear about keeping it simple and not having big logos on things, but its easier said than done. most cases we have only big logo to choose with color options being black, white brown, grey, blue, green if you´re lucky, some strange tone of yellow, orange - hard to find. Red is almost impossible to find, but colors aside, big logos are almost always on everything (very annoying). 2. Picking based on body type is good, but we mostly get straight type, not V shape i have, plus color options are are even more limited (and yes the logos have to be big on everything). Finding right size is always an issue. Getting the right fit with color preference is impossible without getting it custom made.. Getting the right fit without color preference is still impossible task. Getting anything below L size is hard. Even size M is hard to find.. 3. Denim to suit body type again hard to find, most are straight cut. Hardest thing in the world to find to suit body type. Tones narrow it down hard for us. Easiest way to ruin entire look. 3. Shoes tend to do us favors. Still hard to find. To match color even harder. 4. Color tends to be an issue yet again with jackets or ANY type of anything you wear over anything. BIG logos everywhere. Color options are almost non-existent. Size is hard to find above M if even that. 5. LOGOS ARE BIG ON EVERYTHING. So yeah, its simple basics. 6. Most every store has 75 percent for women to choose what they like. We get 25 percent divided between everything we want to wear - including underwear. That is a ridiculous amount to choose from.

I came across your channel just today, I think you are the perfect definition of style, with class but without stridency, everything in its right measure, all those things that today are so scarce and increasingly difficult to find. Subscribed

Down 37 pounds and redoing my wardrobe. I needed this to show I am a grown adult, and that I am healthy as well

I used to think “I’ll dress however I like” Now that I am 30, the idea of dressing more like my age is appealing. I want to improve this area of my life. Thanks for the advice

I have been listening to Courtney Ryan for years. I feel wholesome watching her videos. She is a perfect example of a wife you come home to and listen to her share her thoughts. Her dressing style is class, her etiquette and her body language is immaculate. This is not a simp comment and neither I'm trying to bait anyone. Just sharing how good it feels to be connected to her.

Stretchiness in jeans is kind of a must also, especially for those of us who don't skip leg day. My old work slacks are getting a little snug after spending the last year getting back in the gym.

Great video! I'd also argue the same applies for women as well. Feels like grown women in the WFH era live in sweat pants and yoga pants all the time. If you're out of the house, dress up a little! Was just watching a movie from the 60s last night and it's amazing how elegantly Americans used to dress. People seem to live in their pajamas now!

I'm 76 and find your video's are helpful to me. I've never been a great dresser but figuare it's never to late. So thanks for your help...

I work in the entertainment/production industry where black is the norm. 95% of my wardrobe is black items or low color keys. I wear black sneakers at work for comfort but other times Red Wing boots or black Birkenstock if the heat is unbearable. If I wear denim it has to be black or very dark non stretch (100% cotton). I'm very happy with my items and the way I dress.

Of the women I follow for insight you’re probably my favorite well spoken well mannered traditional classy woman the world needs more women like you. As a man who cares what women think thank you ❤

I don't leave many comments on your videos, but I greatly appreciate your style videos as a 21-year-old college student who struggles to put together outfits. Thank you so much!

Nah, my baby face entitles me to dress like a teen, comfortable and all. I get mistaken for a high schooler and asked if I’m 18 in late 20s still but building an empire here

A sweatshirt, jeans and sneakers in the winter, shorts, sandals and a tee shirt in the summer. Some mixing of the two in the fall and spring. That’s it. I’m thankful I wear a uniform at work and don’t have to think about clothes.

I was a late bloomer when realizing the importance of dressing well and looking put together. As soon as I had a pair of shoes just for the gym and a pair of shoes for actually going out, I immediately got compliments. If you're a dude reading this and you have just that one pair of shoes for the gym, running errands, going on dates AND other special occasions, they probably smell horrible and they make you look like every other "normal" guy. It's really a sea of sameness out there and I was guilty of it for yeeeeeears.

wear whatever you want. dont make other people happy, make yourself happy. who cares what anybody thinks

There’s an adage amongst motorcycle riders that goes “Ride your own ride.” It simply means that you should ride in a way that suits your comfort level, skill, and ability. Never mind how others ride, or what they might think about your style of riding. As a mature man who works outdoors, is survival minded and driven by the urban environment I live and operate in, my clothing on a given day is frequently chosen with the idea in mind that the day might include unforeseen circumstances. For example, I always wear shoes or boots I can run in (either towards or away from something). In colder weather I’ll wear a good base layer regardless of whether or not I plan on being outdoors. Because I always carry a handgun, pants and shorts need to be sturdy enough to support a heavy webbed belt that securely holds a holster and full size handgun with spare magazines. I love having a wide variety of shirts and jackets that I can wear tucked or draped over my pistol for concealment. I have a close friend in his 50’s who occasionally wears Keds and Hey Dudes (but NEVER at the same time). He dresses much the way I do otherwise, and because he’s a 25 year SWAT operator he gets a pass on the footwear. I enjoyed your video and I did learn a few things to put in to practice.

I don't watch all of your content, but man, I really do enjoy it when I watch. Your advice is top notch and the simple layout of your videos is inspirational (as a content creator myself). You really let the content do the talking. Very well done 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

You are so Right!! I didn't use too dress my age. Listening your advice made a big difference. Even my wife loves how I dress. I'm 35 yrs old I use too dressed like a 25 yr old😂.. Thank you Cortney!!!

I find it wild how most men are still dressing like a teen, growing up I always knew how to dress. I guess I follow my dad's sense of style but made it for my sense of fashion. Even in my 20s I never dressed my age. I just know how to put clothes together well.

Dress however you're comfortable and for the situation you're in. I couldn't tell you the last time I cared about what another dude was wearing or even, frankly, noticed. Now if you're single and trying to get someone like Courtney's attention, by all means follow her advice! lol

Lol imagine the internets response if some dude was telling women how they should dress. 😂😂😂

I like the girl who gives a gift to a man.. I got a gift from a girl on this holiday, it showed me how kind she is, honestly, she deserves my thoughts, she 's a high value,put together lady and i liked her taste of choosing gifts. I was like wow! when i opened the gift. This is what I call "loyalty" or "faithfulness" for a long time friendship. Bravo! 👏

I second the motion for Thursday boots. I watched a video of a guy in the UK who wore them for an entire year trekking through the various countries in all sorts of weather conditions. They held up superbly. One of the great things about these kinds of leather boots is that they develop their own unique patina over time, so that your pair of boots are distinct and unique to you.

Mock neck in black can get in various colors but keep it simple because you can wear it with any type of jacket, blazer, a very easy way to dress up or down to have a classic look.

Wow…here’s a thought - “don’t judge a book by its cover.” Really glad my parents taught me that at an early age and it stuck. Just because a man isn’t adhering to GQ’s (or any other number of menswear magazines’) concept of appropriate casual wear doesn’t mean that the person is any less of a human being and therefore somehow deserves less respect because of it. The key word here being “human being”. I do my best to judge a man by the content of his character, not what’s in his closet.

Awesome, informative video! As a 55-year-old living in a climate where shorts and t-shirts are the outfit of choice 9 months a year, I've swapped out the concert T's and Marvel T's for Ralp Lauren T's as an example. No crocs or sandals for me. Switched to Cole Hahn canvas or leather sneakers and upgraded to good denim. I had to stop dressing like a 12-year-old at some point...hahaha.. I realize that MOST of your content is aimed at your target audience of 20-30-year-old guys, but us "old men" watch, too. Thanks for all you do for us!

“Gave up on your life.” That one made me laugh. 👍

important to remember that denim is better as an investment so buy good quality and tailor your fit instead of buying cheap that kind of fit right. Also you only need to get measured once, from then take your well fitted jeans along with your new one and ask for it to be tailored identically.

I agree with people who say it shouldn't matter, but the reality is that it does. From college in to my late 30s, I didn't really care or pay attention until I dated someone who brought it up. Once I started dressing differently, a lot of things changed and the way people interacted with me changed for the better. Sad but it's true.

I enjoyed this video. I definitely agree with simplicity and the ability to layer. Think timeless looks, and that would mean classic. I will admit that I don't think about numbers of combinations (my walk-in is pretty large), but I build on seasons, and I think to rotate with the months.

I love living in a community that values what’s in your heart and head over what’s on your body or what kind of car you drive 🥰

My sense of fashion is purely about convenience. I've heard people like Courtney say that one should be dressed up every time they leave the house. I'm not going to do that. I'll stick to the convenience and time saving idea of going grocery shopping in whatever I'm wearing at that moment. If I am wearing my uniform coming back from work and I need to pick something up on the way home, I'm not going all the way home to change into the right style to go pick up dry cleaning or some groceries. Wear what's comfortable people. Dress up when you're actually headed out on a date or going to an event where you probably shouldn't show up soaked in sweat after the gym.

As a father of a very energetic 2 year old my uniform continues to be track pants, hoodies and running shoes just like in high school.

Great tips! Could you do a video for men's eyewear styling? Or a reaction video to one of Kevin Samuels' eyewear tips videos. Bless 🙏🏿

You uploaded this a few days after my conversation with my dad about wanting a more mature style since I’ll be 30 this year. There’s no reason why I should be dressing like a high school student. Right now, I’m focusing on getting clothes for work since that’s where I spend most of my time but I’m strategically getting clothes that can be worn at work and if I’m going out with friends. The style at my job tends to be very casual and I dress somewhere in between business casual and casual. Eventually, I want to get some suits and a few really nice dress shoes but considering the fact that I won’t need to wear those any time soon, it would make sense for me to get them.

Great vid, excellent advice. We live in a strange world, though, where women can freely make a video helping men how to dress, yet men would be severely berated for offering similar advice to women.

When I first saw this thumbnail, I was not expecting much as I have seen some videos where the advices given were ridiculous or impractical. Your video on the other hand is spot on. Your observations and suggestions are truly accurate. Great video. Godspeed.

which brings me to the next point.... I will ask the opinion of a man about my clothing before asking you (for plenty of reasons, don't take it personally).

Can you explain- is this like an every time thing? Or just going out? Cause if i'm leaving the gym and driving home, imma just wear sweats to walk to the car and drive home. Are you sayin I should wear these clothes when mowing the lawn, or picking up a pizza? Cause that ain't happening.

Updating my wardrobe is a big change in my life. Even when i go to church I got really good remarks from church women and friends because of how I dressed smart ;)

In the last year I have moved from graphic tees to Fresh Clean Threads solid color tees. Pairing that with Bonobos has been a big upgrade from too large jeans and graphic tees. Shoes are different story because nice boots like you showed rarely come in wide (4E+) sizes, so we’re left with whatever is available. Thanks for the free tips. I think a lot of men just need simple to follow guidance.

I've always been really offended by the concept of fashion. The idea that someone can know me or even judge me based off of the clothing I wear grosses me out. Where do I find the women who don't care?

Thank God my natural instinct has me already following these rules.

heavy naturals are the best what a princess

As a 44 year old man I find myself slightly chuckling about the fact that I'm watching a video about how to dress, but... Courtney is just the freaking best. We love you Court! -Guys ❤ p.s. also a fellow Ohioan

My new years resolution is to see more videos like this

thank you Courtney, I love your brutal honesty!

Hey Courtney! This is your first video I've watched. As single man in his late 20's who spent the last year going through a lot of personal growth and who is still in the process of reinventing himself, I definitely find this video to be helpful as a starting point, but I have some questions. Maybe you already have some other videos you could point me to, or maybe they could be ideas for future videos of yours. As someone who isn't confident in their personal sense of fashion and has family members (parents, siblings, etc.) who tend to dress very "loud", including a love for some of the more juvenile styles you mention in this video, I would like to be as confident as possible in my understanding of how this all works before I go making a bunch of purchases and potentially looking goofy due to lack of innate sense. I will likely face some degree of heat/pressure from family regardless, so I at least want to get it right in the transition to make it as painless as possible. As helpful as it is, I think this video makes a few key assumptions that a man has knowledge of the most basic of basics, and I'm not sure I have those. I don't know where the line is drawn with color matching, for example: I tend to wear very similar colors when I dress myself currently. In the outfit at 9:26 I perceive that as three different colors (medium brown, off-white, and olive). Although it intuitively makes sense to me actually seeing it on the model, I probably wouldn't have tried that myself for fear of the green of the jeans and the brown of the jacket clashing, and I wouldn't know what colors would work for the shoes with this outfit (though I would assume brown). I've seen even further departures in other male fashion images (e.g. a lighter grey jacket over a black base) that my current understanding tells me would clash, but apparently doesn't. How far is too far? What works and what doesn't with color combos? Other things like knowing which jeans cuts "look best" on my body type aren't something I just know, and my family currently hates loafers. It seems like this video assumes I'll know which ones are the best to buy, but I don't. Not only have I not been educated to do that, but I might even be in a hostile environment for outside help. I want to dress for me and would like to look mature to others in public rather than simply catering to my family's preferences, but at the moment I'm lacking knowledge in the most basic of skills and do not know how to obtain them aside from sources like you. I apologize for the wall of text-- and truly thank you if you read all that-- but any videos you could make or direct me to that would go even more basic and help with foundational skills like this would be greatly appreciated. For now I will sub in the hopes you will continue to produce content along these lines going forward.

Thank you for your content! I appreciate a woman’s perspective on how to dress my age. I turned 50 last year and finally ended a toxic 8 year relationship and relocated to my dream city with my company. I took the opportunity to purge stuff that looks like my son would wear or no longer fit due to weight loss from all of the stress. I went down to maybe 6 shirts and 4 pairs of pants that fit well and a few sweaters that I can rotate depending on what accent color I want to coordinate with the outfit. I looked at well dressed men around me and took cues from their style and found items I already owned that I could throw in but I also bought a few new pieces such as a nice pair of dress casual shoes that I can pair with either pants or the right jeans to give myself options. Now just need to take my new look and get out there and meet some new people! 😊 Thanks Courtney!

I about died of laughter when you started ragging on the Hey Dude loafers, "they make you look like you simply gave up on life", I couldn't agree more. Also I agree that any shoe made of leather is automatically superior when it comes to elevating men's fashion.

This video was good and I agree with you. That's what I wear not because it is a fashion trend, it is because it's comfortable.

I'd say you "should" dress according not just to your age but also body type and other features. In my case for example, I'm 38, in theory I should dress more casual like a young adult in the 40s, but I'm just 165cm tall, I used to be VERY fit until I was 30--31 and still keep a lean/fit body, and thanks to genetics and a healthy lifestyle I've always looked easily 6 years younger than I am. The same happened to my mom (people though she was underage when she married, and she was 20) and I had a very hard time with women up until being 26-27 and above because I looked "too young" and "like a teen" to most of them, like "not manly enough". Think of people like Michael J Fox or Elijah Wood. Now, despite being 38, people always think I'm around 30 and I mostly wear jeans (good slim fit) with hoodies (some with graphics, some without) or white shirt, and sneakers (some colorful, some not), usually matching my hoodie with the sneakers. I wouldn't be able to pull it off if I looked older, and I know it's going to look a bit weird when I'm 45 or something like that, but having the heigh of a teenager, the bodytype of a teenager, and facial features of a 30 years old intern, I can get away looking good and "appropriate to my age" with looks more adequate for a young college graduate in his mid-late 20s. Sometimes I've had to wear a suit for work and I've been told it looked "strange of me" precisely because my physique gave the impression of a teen in Prom Night instead of a "man wearing a suit", because I've been both lucky and unlucky with my "Michael J Fox perpetual teeange" kind of looks.

I'm truly thankful for your content Courtney. Your videos have a calming effect on me during hectic times, and I genuinely admire your presence. I not only enjoy your charisma but also take away valuable insights. The synergy of my experiences and your feminine instincts/preferences creates an exceptional outcome. Thank you very much!

"these shoes make you look like you gave up on your life..." HAHAHAHAHHAHA Best line ever... Bravo.

I’ve recently lost weight and I’m buying slim cut jeans, but they’re the stretch denim kind so when I put them on they look fitted, but by the end of the day they look baggy up top around the thigh area. I really don’t want to start buying skinny cut jeans, but I really don’t like how these jeans look at the end of the day

I subconsciously started wearing solid colour teas and hoodies when I got into my late twenties and I’m now in my early 30s. I was always a shirt and loafers/brogue shoe person when dressing fancy or some smart simple trainers but boots have never been my thing until I caught myself randomly liking some DR Martens. Not the usual high platform ones but some casual ones that surprised me. In general I believe dressing well is about wearing the best fitted/tailored clothes. Keep it simple and then you can mix and match the colours. Once you have that you just need the right shoes to match and you’re good 99% of the time.

Your videos are great, Courtney! I've been happily married for around 14 years but it is still great to hear these tips so I can keep things up for her.

The jacket that shares the same sewing pattern as a denim jacket is traditionally called a duck coat, or a sport coat, after hunter's attire. For bros out there looking for one try and find one with the slanted pockets like a hoodie pouch because it'll extend the utility outta the jacket. Very classic, very much versatile. All good picks from Courtney.

You just saved a life today.

I won’t wear jeans anymore they bug 🐜 I’m an electrical contractor not a white collar guy. I’m have tattoos and my lifestyle is active, Muay Thai, yoga, weight lifting and surfing. I’m rough around the edges, I laugh loud, and cuss more than I should. What is my style Ms. Lady?

Hi Courtney. As always, I appreciate your take on men's fashion. I am over forty five and have been concerned about giving a teenage vibe. The advice you gave will help in regards to my physical presentation and it's also my aim to attract a mature woman. Keep up the good work and thanks again 🙂.

"Find your uniform" was really great. I Struggled for years with dressing casually- in fact, as a lawyer- I have a ton of suits, and just started wearing suits everywhere to make my life easier. I would mix athleisure clothes with formal clothes and I would look like a mess. A few years ago I decided to step into dressing with a outdoorsy and southwest theme and it made my life easier. (LLBean, Orvis and Patagonia clothing). Great advice as always thanks Courtney!

No matter what you wear 😂 it all depends on YOUR FACE AND WEALTH. So to all the boys, men, male, or whatever JUST DRESS WHATEVER YALL LIKE 😂 FR

If boredom could wear clothes, it would look precisely like this.

So in a nutshell: Don't wear any colours that you can't find in a cappuccino. I wouldn't call her advice terrible. I think its simple and good advice for men that don't care what they are wearing but still want to appear like they care to attract females. However, you will definitely end up looking like the majority of men between 20 and 35 because most of them are wearing exactly what she has been describing as a good style for men. I personally think that adult men can absolutely pull of bolder colours as well. You just have to be confident and secure about it.

This is exactly what i was looking for! I'm turning 30 this year and want to change my wardrobe a bit, get rid of the more younger immature things and take on a new improved look. Thank you!

Hi Courtney thank you for the help! Id like to get Thursday boots Chukka, but I’m not sure which color to get. Which one should I go with for casual wear like with dark denim?

The most trust-worthy people I know dress abysmally 🤷‍♂

I have to admit I'd rather be alone than follow such advice, as fine as it is. Thing is I'm French so the rules are a bit different here and I feel like I'd only attract shallow women and I've had my fill of those. Tshirt and jeans will be enough, what feels comfortable. Keeping it simple and minimalist.
