    Do you wash it in between?

    Oh...or do you mean the same basic style? :)

    'Cause if not...that has got to be one tattered outfit!

    Just buy anything with "Allfliction" on it, and you're good to go!

    The older you get the more Affliction you'll have IN it.

    I kid, I kid.

    Sort of.

    I guess I must be old because I have no idea what "Affliction" clothing is.

    take the short trip from Gilbert to South Scottsdale.

    look for the guy parking his BMW with 250 thousand miles on it; he'll be wearing one of these as he's walking towards one on the strip clubs in Old Town; yeah, he's a dbag:

    I am not complicated with my clothing. If adult clothes came with Garanimals tags, I would love it.

    You got it all wrong, older guys should wear older clothes. Shop at a thrift store

    My wife does my clothes shopping. That way, if I am wearing something she does not like, it's her fault.......
    *NOTE: She does have a good sense of fashion.
    **NOTE: We have been married for a pretty decent amount of time (46 years)

    the only thing to wear after 46 years of marriage is one of these:

    This isn't a good choice for long-time marrieds, how are we supposed to pop a Xanax wearing this thing?

    My boyfriend is 30years older than me and recently I've started to buy him clothes or um you could say try to point him in the right direction lol. It's been such a nightmare. I see nice dressed men all the time around his age group but I can't seem to put anything together. Doesn't help he's very set in his ways.

    I think you've had some very good advice already. My husband is younger than me at 36 but he likes to dress in a way that is a little more polished than some of his male friends (they are 30s-40s but mostly wear graphic t-shirts and cargo shorts with flip flops, pleat front khakis and oversized polos at work).

    Some of his style choices are a little bit unusual like Feiyue shoes, but for the most part he just goes super-simple, jeans with no bling (thank goodness) that actually fit him, not tight, but not baggy. Flat front pants. He has one well cut gray suit because his job doesn't require a suit, so he just wears that to anything dressy. Shirts that skim his body without being oversized or tight. Button downs or just nicer quality, heavy cotton t-shirts, no graphic or logos, sometimes V neck but not deep V. He gets compliments on his clothing regularly because of this. It probably helps that we live in a small Midwestern city where his friends are more of the norm clothing-wise.

    I think grooming goes a very long way too. OP you look in your photo like you have a good handle on that!

    I would just start with the basics. Like a few well fitting shirts in neutral colors, a couple nice button ups, some nice slacks, well fitting jeans in a dark wash. Once you have the basics you can build into your own style by adding things like flannels, jackets, blazers, hats, scarves, sunglasses. Or nothing at all and keep it basic. Idk if guys do it on youtube, but a ton of girls do dressing room try on videos which is awesome for outfit inspiration plus you get to see how things might fit without actually having to try them on.
