The best places for men over 60 to buy stylish clothes
From established British names such as Sunspel and Paul Smith to smaller labels such as Slowear and Community Clothing, the options for older men are diverse – focusing less on trend and more on the finer details. “Building a wardrobe as an older man is a nuanced process,” says stylist Gareth Scourfield, whose clients include the actor Colin Firth, 64. “It’s not about chasing trends, but about the little things – like the height of a crew neckline or the depth of ribbing on a T-shirt – that matter.”
To help men over the age of 60 navigate the world of style, we sought advice from some of Britain’s most fashionable older men, including 65-year-old model and designer Herbie Mensah. “Men like myself look for clothing that’s comfortable, confidence-boosting, and age appropriate,” says Mensah. “We want fabrics that feel good, garments made from natural fibres, and classic tailoring. Above all, the clothes need to be comfortable.”
