Dressing in your teens and twenties is easy peasy. Almost anything works and nobody reacts. But by the time you hit your forties, it is time to elevate your style game. You want clothes that feel as good as they look and make you stand out (in the best way). At Brian Oak, we believe in keeping style timeless because, let us be honest, age is just a number. Being 40 (or beyond) does not mean waving goodbye to fashion. In fact, it is the perfect time to embrace refined, smart choices. Our collection of men’s premium formal shirts has you covered, blending comfort, durability, and elegance, all so good that they might just outlast your favourite playlist from the ‘90s. Top Colour Palettes for Men Over 40 When it comes to formal shirts, the right colours can do wonders. Here is what works best: Dark Tones: Think black, navy, or deep blue. These colours are classic, sophisticated, and perfect for making an impression. Light Tones: Crisp whites, light blues, or soft greys never fail to look fresh and polished. Pop of Colour: Add a little zing to your outfit with colourful accents. Choose bright socks, a flashy pocket square, or a playful tie. Or go for subtle prints and florals to mix things up without going overboard. Our Top Shirt Recommendations for Men Over 40 We have handpicked a few standout shirts to make your wardrobe shine.
