He kinda killed his own video though talking about still wearing leather jackets, ripped jeans, and Jordan’s. All I say is dress how you want just don’t be out here looking goofy. I for the most part have taken most of the cues from his video.. subtle shirts, fit jeans, and shoes that are a little more subtle. I still wear sneakers... I have outfits for when I want to dress nice and also for when I want to dress up a little more.,

Pretty much. You only look foolish wearing trendy shyt that's clearly for young folk. There are classic Jordans that go well with a simple, more advanced style. Like some 1s. I don't wear Jordans or basketball shoes anymore. Too clunky and don't go with my style. I do wear cross trainers and flyknit joints though. Life's too short. wear whatever the hell you wanna wear even if it's corny especially if you already have a wife and kids. No reason to impress anyone.

? Maybe if you’re talking about a mustang or an eclass. No one is clowning a youngish dude in an AMG coupe convertible, Porsche, SL etc. Thousands of young guys with drop tops in LA. This may be a regional thing.

Nah depends on the car and where you at.




Smashin in a M3 Vert on a warm, summer evening in Cali is :blessed:

Cali the only exception and even there I bet most women aren't dying to get in a convertible. There is a reason women don't drive them like that. Convertibles = I have a nice car because I want you too look at me ie I want women to look at me. Regardless of the car.

I think that you're in the DMV right?

Not much of a car culture.

Drop tops are for enjoying the weather and feeling good driving with the wind and sun on you.

I can understand the motivation to put up a front in a Northeast city, for clout, attention and superficial status.

Not saying they don't flex cars for women in other regions, but Cali, Texas, Florida, GA, etc have the weather and love for cars more.

I'm in my late 30s. I wear basics. Dark, slim cut denim (selvedge) a simple shirt. No trendy shyt. Simple shoes (whether they're dress, casual or sneakers). Keep it simple and classic.

It’s funny when you’re younger with less money all the money you waste on name brand clothes. Then you get older and have more money but don’t care.

Can’t tell the last time I spent more than 75 on any item of clothing

Directionally he has the right idea. But that's where your own style has to come into play.

Yeah don't wear super baggy or super tight shyt, or shyt with a bunch of labels...but V-necks on anyone is a simple look that always works. If you have taco meat showing, trim it down perhaps, hair retains odor so I'm not clowning if someone does it.
