To own your style in your 30s you need to start investing in pieces that fit you—from trousers, to denim, to blouses, to blazers. Try a pencil skirt or midi-dress for once. Structured clothing can really make a difference. Invest in something either avant-garde or classic, just keep the color solid so you can give it versatility with your accessories and makeup. Ask your stylist for sleek denim, timeless pumps or a new event dress that will boost your closet cred.
Then, sit back and relax as you wait for your five items to arrive. You can try on everything at home, keep what you like and send back the rest. Get Your Fix. Invest in Sleek Shoes. Skip Tube Tops and Buy Camisoles. Invest in Midi Lengths. Replace Bodycon With Backless Dresses. Avoid Reversible Pieces. Skip Novelty Headbands and Try Scrunchies. Invest in Suede Pumps. Shoe trends come and go. A pair of classic pointed-toe pumps lasts forever.
Ditch Ultra-Chunky Shoes. Get Rid of Old, Tattered Sneakers. Skip Cheesy Prints and Sayings. Embrace the maturity of relaxed-tapered jeans, wider lapels and tailored jackets that actually cover your behind.
One of the most effective things you can do for your style as you decay is to stay in shape. The inconvenient truth is that most stylish men in the public eye are, if not buff, then at least trim, and most clothes will look good on them as a result.
But it is about letting fits and fabrics speak to your credentials instead of shouty styles, colours or labels: less Supreme, more Supima cotton. In your thirties, that distinction gets blurrier than the bottom line on your sight test. There will be weddings. Lots of weddings. Indeed, depending on the occasion and temperature, an overcoat can take the place of a blazer and make your rig vaguely respectable.
But as a man of a certain age who occasionally has to dress smartly, but not too smartly, for work or social events, you have a need for dressier alternatives to jeans, such as chinos, corduroys and tailored trousers. In the same way that you reserved tailoring for professional or special occasions in your twenties, so black shoes were restricted to the office or the bad club.
But then comes the advent of smart-casual invitations in your thirties. Brogues, Derbies, loafers and desert boots are solid footings. Besides, why deny yourself this traditional coming-of-age signifier, and one of the precious few items of male jewellery? But while David Gandy is a regular on the Fashion Week front row, the classically stylish year-old lets the latest trends pass him by. Giving red carpet appearances almost as award-winning as his on-screen performances, Eddie Redmayne has cracked the theory of how to look good in everything.
Consistently classy, the all-time record-holding father of four also manages to sport athleisure without looking like mutton dressed as lamb, or a manchild. The collection that he designs for Nike also ticks all the right boxes: muted colours and dialled-down logos.
And on the red carpet, he keeps the tailoring well cut and adds interest by experimenting with colour. You don't develop an overnight penchant for twin-sets. In fact, it's probably only midway through your thirties that you realise your age is creeping up on you, and that maybe a few wardrobe tweaks would be prudent.
View on Instagram. Gone are the days where "dressing for your age" has to be prescriptive: this is not the s. Women should dictate their own terms. They should also wear whatever they darned-well feel like. What this means in sartorial terms is less of a blanket rejection of whatever Bella Hadid wears and more of an age-appropriate adaptation.
