How to dress if you are a 50-year-old man?

Each stage of our life sets a guideline to manage different aspects. One of them is the way we dress. While it is true that age is just a number and the important thing is how we feel, it is also a fact that, when we reach certain ages, dress codes begin to vary and some clothes are no longer options because they are not in line with our life timeline.

At this stage, it is important to take into account that you should have common sense when choosing an outfit. Since wearing clothes that are too young can make you look unbalanced and not in accordance with your age. Because reaching the age of fifty means a stage of maturity and consolidation. However, at the same time, it is not that we should be too sober and boring. The crucial thing is to find a balance between formality and style.

 

And with this, it doesn´t mean that you must only wear suits. The truth is that it´s a good piece, but it´s not the only option you have to choose from. Nor is it about living wearing sweaters and corduroy pants. So, in Fashion Trends, we bring some looks that we´re will help you kill it.

Wide pants as a first option

Ditch the tie whenever you can

 

Wear a suit, but more casual, something that helps you take some years off. That´s why for a classic style, use a cap or wool cap in the Peaky Blinders style. You can play with accessories that go with your face and structure.

 

Forget the garish prints, use logomania

 

It´s not about falling into minimalism, but about knowing how to combine special colors and fabrics. Which will help you a great deal. Associate it with advertisements for everything you carry. However, the logos should be small in size and should not be the most eye-catching feature.
