Your Style Foundation
By the time your 40s roll around, you should hopefully have a solid foundation of wardrobe essentials, having amassed quality and timeless pieces that can work with the rest of your clothes. These pieces should be classic yet versatile: think light and patterned dress shirts, chinos and trousers, and of course, well-tailored suits and ties. For a more refined look, you want to keep it simple and pared back.
Loud patterns and colors may have worked for you once, but now you should have found what really suits you. Elements like skin tone, height, and build should all be carefully considered now that you’ve got the basics down.
