In constructing fall/winter outfits for men in their 40s, the goal is “to dress in a way that achieves age-appropriate fashion. There are many possible directions for age-appropriate dressing.

In addition, for men, interest in clothes often peaks in their late teens to mid-twenties and then slowly declines. (OTOKOMAE readers may be an exception.) Whether it is their clothes or hairstyle, they are always in danger of unconsciously following the trends of their youth and forming a style based on outdated sensibilities. This is why it is a good idea to consciously go out into the streets where people with a high sense of fashion come and go, and get a feel for what is “current” firsthand. Observing fashionable people is good, but looking at show windows is also recommended. The show windows of fast fashion brands that specialize in trendy clothes, such as ZARA, are particularly good for catching trends intuitively.

This is a bit off topic since the theme of this article is fall/winter fashion for men in their 40s, but body-building is as necessary as clothing choice and how to dress in order to stay looking good in your 40s. In particular, working out your muscles at the gym or through your favorite sport will not only get you in shape, but will also reduce the decline in testosterone levels due to aging and make you look fearless, which makes it easier to look good in your coiffure. Don’t let your guard down just because it is fall/winter when your body is not exposed, but make sure to eat healthy, sleep well, and work out regularly.

Skin care is also important. Learn the right knowledge and continue to take care of your skin in a way that suits you. Also, many men in their 40s may not be comfortable with wearing a lot of makeup, but why not try using BB cream just when you meet people outside? Not only can it cover pores, blemishes, and blue beards to a natural extent, but it can also protect you from sunburn, so it will be effective in keeping you young in the future. Uno’s Face Color Creator series, available at most convenience stores, drugstores, and even mail order sites such as Amazon, is cosmetically pleasing and a first choice. No makeup remover is needed and can be easily removed with a facial cleanser. We do not recommend the use of this product for people with sensitive or unfavorable skin.

Important TIPS for men in their 40s for fall and winter fashion dressing 1Adopt short length outerwear and blousons that are becoming mainstream

Short length outerwear is the current trend. In addition to short down, look out for single-collared rider’s jackets, Babur spays, derby jackets, MA-1s, and denim jackets. The current mood is not to wear Moncler down jackets in the ultra-tight fitting style that was popular a decade ago, but to wear them with a slightly looser or looser fitting, as if they were thrown on with a thud.

One thing to keep in mind when wearing one-cushion length pants is to choose shoes that create a beautiful one-cushion look without any strange leaning. Sneakers with a thick shoe sole and a high instep are difficult to create a one-cushion look. Sneakers with a design like the Adidas Samba or Stan Smith will give you a beautiful one-cushion shoe without any leaning.
