Hi everyone!

As the saying goes, a man is in his prime at forty . Men over forty are often portrayed as possessing mature charm and gentlemanly demeanor , like those in TV dramas and movies. However, look around us; most forty-year-old men wear dull, stiff shirts and leather shoes to work, and wrinkled T-shirts and flip-flops after work—far from charming! Let's take a look at how charismatic figures like Chen Kun and Liu Kaiwei dress. Follow their style, and your handsomeness will be guaranteed to skyrocket !

Formal Occasions

When it comes to formal occasions, many men pull out the "old three items"—shirt, belt, and dress shoes. But there's really no need for that. Wearing them poorly can easily make you look like a salesperson—it's just too rigid! Instead, take a look at Chen Kun's dapper suit style , which is perfect for forty-year-old urban men on formal occasions !

Chen Kun didn't choose the typical thick chiffon suit fabric, but rather a linen fabric with an inherent artistic flair . This type of fabric makes the suit less contrived and more relaxed . The wide-leg trousers, similar to wide-leg pants , avoid the overly tight fit often seen in hair salons, and paired with grey printed chunky shoes , the overall look is effortlessly chic !

If you feel that overly loose suits don't easily create an ethereal look, you can opt for the more formal and serious iron-gray suit worn by Chen Kun . Its straight-leg trousers , with a center crease , elongate the legs , making the wearer appear more capable ! Instead of a shirt, a simple white T-shirt is recommended for a cleaner, more energetic look – perfect for a vibrant and sunny young man!

Everyday Leisure Section

Having discussed formal attire, we can't forget about what to wear after work or on weekends when shopping with family. In fact, outfits for these casual occasions are even more important than those for formal events, as they reveal a man's personal style in his private life. Liu Kaiwei's color-blocked sweatshirt and black pants combination is a great example; it has personal style without being overly flashy , making it quite practical !

Liu Kaiwei's color-blocked sweatshirt features a straight-cut design , and the use of space cotton fabric makes his upper body appear very upright ! This type of sweatshirt is especially suitable for urban men with issues like hunchback or sloping shoulders , as it helps to correct the curves of the upper body's shoulders and neck, making them appear more dashing ! Paired with black straight-leg trousers and Oxford shoes , it maintains a mature and sophisticated masculine style, achieving a chic and slightly rebellious look !

Men who prefer an artistic style can copy Chen Kun's trench coat outfit. It's both handsome and youthful , and will definitely help you shed the "greasy uncle" label! What's worth learning is that Chen Kun's entire outfit is predominantly black , with white and khaki accents used in the details of his inner layer and shoes . The overall style is very simple and perfectly eliminates any sense of "greasiness" !

In addition, Chen Kun adopted this year's popular layering technique , layering a simple white T-shirt with a printed sweatshirt to enrich the sense of layering in his outfit, creating a trendy and cool look ! He paired it with a black trench coat ; the mid-length style doesn't make him look shorter, making it a suitable choice for men of average height , while also adding a touch of composure and sophistication ! Instead of the usual leather shoes, he opted for high-top ankle boots , adding a touch of vitality and dynamism !

Relaxing Vacation Edition

When it comes to vacations, many men in their forties almost invariably choose shirts or polo shirts with brightly printed patterns—it's just too flashy. Paired with gold chains, they could easily become "gangster" actors. Instead, take a cue from Liu Kaiwei's fresh and clean style ; it'll instantly transport you back to your youth ! The top Liu Kaiwei chose features a mint green tie-dye print , as fresh and natural as ink painting , giving a simple and refreshing first impression!

What's worth noting is that he rolled up his sleeves to his elbows , exposing his forearms, which made him look even more sunny and handsome . Furthermore, he paired it with light blue straight-leg jeans ; the slightly loose design didn't feel restrictive, and he completed the look with a pair of timeless white sneakers —perfect for a summer vacation !

If you want to achieve a cool, edgy vacation look , you can take inspiration from Chen Kun's all-black ensemble . It might seem like an incredibly simple black T-shirt, but the material should not be too thin , and the fit must be good, even a size up – anything but too tight. Pair it with matching straight-leg trousers and sneakers , and add a baseball cap for a stylish and cool look !

Gentlemen, stop clinging to the "straight man" style of shirts and leather shoes. Learn from Chen Kun and Liu Kaiwei's dapper and refreshing style . Remember to categorize your current clothes according to different occasions such as formal events, casual wear, and vacations , and then make purchases as needed . Keep the colors simple and the cuts crisp. I believe you can truly achieve the ideal of a man in his forties!
