How should a 30 year old man be dressing? Oxfords? Turtle necks? Suits? Should I drop the Vans, jeans, and hoody?

If you are 30 years old and can't even figure out how to dress despite infinite resources at your disposal then you aren't really a man but a manchild, closer to a woman or a pet than a man

If you are still dressing like a high schooler, then some khakis and some button up shirts are all you need, assuming you have a pair of leather shoes. If you need shoes, for your first pair don't go for something too formal. Either a plain toe boot or a blucher style shoe.

There’s a happy medium between looking like you’re stuck in your teens and dressing what a 14 year old thinks an adult should dress like. Things like jeans and t-shirts are acceptable, you just have to pick ones that have a more mature style. For example, you shouldn’t wear a star wars graphic tee, but a well-fitting plain black tee is perfectly fine.

>>17511279
>Should I drop the Vans, jeans, and hoody?
Those are fine for doing yardwork or lounging around the house. Just don't wear them in public.

Personally, I think the most overlooked aspect of dressing like an adult is fit. Children don't wear well-fitting clothes because they're always growing. Mom buys them clothes a size too big to grow into and then the sleeves are too short before they know it.

At 30 you're done growing (assuming your weight doesn't fluctuate and you grow or shrink horizontally) so you can get clothes that actually conform to your body's contours.

This, on the other hand, is such a broad question. So much depends on lifestyle and location. There's no one answer.

A shitty-but-accurate tip is to start spending money. If you're 30, you should be well-established in your career by now. You're making decent money. Your peer group mates are making similar. No more bargain bin jeans and freebie t-shirts.

to add to this, when youre 30 and nearing CEO position and pay, you should look clean and professional. dont wear neon or bright colors

i recommend Brioni or Kiton for suits
gaziano girling or lobb for shoes

I'm going to start dressing smarter. I’m 30 now. Time to put things into perspective. I can’t wear trainers and trackie bottoms anymore. It’s time to put a little effort in. Shirts. Trousers. Nice shoes. Smarten myself up. Clean shaven. Always. If I respect myself, others will respect me. That comes through how you present yourself initially. Time to get a move on

Where did you get that stat? The most recent data I can find doesn't break it down to such granularity.
I found stats from 2020 that 21% of workers in the US under age 26 are un-/under-employed. (Underemployed in this case meaning that they work part-time but would like to work full-time.)

[Anonymous No.17516915]

At 30 you should be wearing what you find interesting, what you like, or what you think communicates your values generally. That's it, there isn't very much more to it. The only thing you should avoid is trying to impress others with your purchases, so don't be a 30 year old hypebeast, but generally even 20 year olds should avoid this.
30 is a weird age for style because there seems to be this personal push to grow up at that age. You're solidly not a kid anymore, even though you still kind of feel like a kid, and you've hopefully got a real job at this point, so there's this weird internal monologue going on that's telling you that you can't wear shorts or plain t shirt anymore for some reason. The one other thing I can think to avoid at this age is trends, but even then if you like aspects of a current trend then use it, just don't trend hop unless you genuinely enjoy following the fashion meta and spending a lot of money of shit you'll get rid of before the next season.
Something you have to keep in mind is that this mindset lasts for probably like 5 years or so at the earliest, and almost completely falls off at 40 for 99% of dudes. At 40 the majority of dudes have reverted to jeans and t shirts again, only really wearing mature outfits when needed, which is honestly not a common occurrence.

>le good looking wasp/med man fashion

It takes certain looks to pull of a look like that. Imagine a stemcel dressed in that. You just look like a autistic try-hard.

Well, I bought leather boots and a button up shirt. Felt nice in them so it wasnt the worst advice. My desire to wear different clothes has been a personal one not influenced from 4chan.

Never change your style. There's nothing more soi than a man who follows trends to the grave. Dress for the occasion with your style. If that means vans with an ocdb or some shit then that's what it means. Christmas dinner is not for conforming into being a geriatric, it's for dressing for Christmas with YOUR STYLE. If vans are your style then vans are universal. Fuck the agest bullshit

You can just polomax if you want something fancier than a t shirt.

Once you get rich enough people dgaf and just wear t shirts again

Imagine being such a closeted faggot that you think wearing sneakers in your 30's is unacceptable.

[Anonymous No.17520144]

I'm 36 and people are always telling me I dress too OLD. I mostly just wear straight cut jeans, casual button up/pearl snap shirts, and western boots (pic related is a typical fit, disregard the gun) but everybody's always pushing me to wear black more, wear graphic tees and sportswear, etc. I don't really get it and I feel like I'm gonna look ridiculous dressing the way they want me to.

Can I wear a patterned button down shirt like this under a black two piece suit or would it look too douchey?
