There are many myths and prejudices around fifty years (or more), but perhaps the most harmful of all have to do with what we understand by style.Above all, because they serve as a pretext or vehicle for major scruples that have to do with our professional life or that affect our self -acceptance, interests, personality and trust.And this happens because, to begin with, we are obsessed with youth and with the idea that our best years occurred during adolescence;Also because, as a consequence, we have fear to grow and live under the yoke of expired definitions for elegance and distinction as we acquire years.As if we still lived in the mid -twentieth century and our only option, being fifteen, was wearing tailor pants with dress shoes.

In fact, having style means being faithful to your own way of seeing the world and demonstrating a unique personality (capable of making decisions on your own).Do not wear the same as the rest or what others tell you that it is correct.And it is precisely why we usually fall into great errors;for thinking that there is an immovable guide and as a formula that we must all follow to the letter.Yes, there are advice that are universal, but that does not mean that they apply for anyone or that we cannot make the pertinent adjustments.

Given this, we must share what are the true errors of style that men commit at 50 and that we must leave behind as soon as possible.The world has changed enough to think that your love for tennis, for example, is wrong.

Believe that you are older to use a trend

There are only clothes that make us feel comfortable and another that makes us feel uncomfortable.No more.And if there is any trend that catches your attention or makes you happy, who tells you that you can't use it?You have surely seen attendees during the fashion weeks worldwide or meetings such as Pitti Uomo;Do you see someone there are afraid to show who he is?You shouldn't have it either.

Just use black

Oh.If you do it because you are convinced that this color accurately represents your personality, it is incredible.But if you choose all your wardrobe in black just because you think that a man of fifty or more "has no permission" to use other colors, or because you consider that he helps your silhouette looks thinner, rethinking things, friend.You wear black because you love that color, not by prejudices of age or complexion.

Have useful garments and nothing more

Vanity is inexorable in the lives of all people.Much more when we are addicted to beauty and luxury.So, who said that at fifty you cannot have garments and designs that only obey taste, and not only to utility?Look what you like most;especially if these are statement pieces or that you consider revolutionary.There will be time for the rest of the year to get the classic coats against the cold.

Tell the tennis

If your passion are the sneakers, keep it!Maybe your style has changed over the years and your closet was modified.It's okay.You can do your tennis, moving to a more minimalist and casual spectrum.Or not.That is your decision and anyone else.

Just dress costumes (or tailor pants)

Terrible.Yes, a fifty man is expected to take a suit perfectly, but that does not mean that he becomes your everyday uniform inside and outside work.Are we in a Mad Men chapter?Please no!There are other ways to celebrate your style and take advantage of your silhouette;For example, recognizing what type of jeans you will best according to your body shape is vital.First, because denim can be used at any age;And second, because we are already tired of thinking that there is only a "correct" way to see us.
