Cool at Any Age

Fashion trends will come and go, and unless you have the time and means to stay ahead of all the latest looks, we urge you to stay away from ‘high fashion’ and rather look towards building a wardrobe that is stylish and cool at any age.

The good news is that fashion has become so flexible that there are no longer parameters that define what you should wear at a certain age or stage of life.

We’re here to offer you some amazing outfit suggestions that are simple and easy to pull off and guaranteed to make you look your best, no matter which season of your life you are in.

Here are a few of our favourite timeless and ageless looks:

One of the most timeless and stylish outfits is a sharp tailored suit. A well-fitting suit is a must have in any wardrobe – and believe it or not, can be extremely versatile. A suit can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion, printed or plain shirts add for more or less formality. A black, navy or smoke suit can be worn for everything from work meetings to weddings. Adjust your style to suit the occasion by changing up your shoes, shirt and by adding in a tie or pocket square.

Another of those wardrobe staples, these throw-on jackets add an edge to any outfit and definitely don’t have an age stamp anywhere on them. Aside from providing a layer of warmth in cooler seasons, these types of jackets just ooze cool and lend themselves to almost any bottoms. They go well with jeans, chinos, or even joggers, add a comfy t-shirt or check shirt for an easy, laid back vibe. Denim jackets are available in blue or neutral colour for easy, versatile dressing and fold over the cuffs for an extra hint of cool. The trucker bomber is a new addition with full inner Borg lining for warmth in cord or check styles.

If ever there was a timeless item of clothing, it’s got to be the blue jean! Forever the holy grail of casual dressing, blue jeans are the ultimate ageless piece of clothing, and a dress code unto themselves. The most versatile, adaptable item that can take you from casual down time to dinner date, choose jeans that fit your body shape well and finish your look with a crisp shirt or t-shirt worn under a jacket or blazer. Try a new look with the straight fit for a more relaxed baggy look that doesn’t come across sloppy.

From jumpers and knits, throughout time, everyone has worn them their way and they ain’t going anywhere! In fact, knits are not only essential to every man’s wardrobe, they are also high impact options when it comes to styling. For versatility, it’s hard to go past a crew neck worn alone or over a shirt or t-shirt, for a smart look a high neck knits known as ‘mock turtle necks’ are perfect for layering under a smart jacket and suits.

However, if you’re more of a cable knit kind of guy, these chunkier knits are now trendier than ever and no more the domain of granddad’s next to the fireplace. So in summary, knits are extremely versatile and functional so try to have a few style in your basic wardrobe.

Once you have your bases covered with all of the above, remember to still be true to who you are. You shouldn’t have to try to dress for your age, but rather for comfort and style. Don’t fall into the trap of going too far to adopt a certain look. Keep it simple, balanced and tonal and you can’t go wrong. Get savvy. Get older, Get wiser. Get cooler.
