In this concise style‑advice video, Kevin L. Horne (host of “Men’s Style After 40”) outlines five common fashion and grooming errors that make men appear older than they are. He stresses the importance of regular hair maintenance—visiting the barber at least twice a month—to keep gray hair, nose hair, and ear hair under control. He then highlights neglected hand care, noting that thinning, dry, and un‑moisturized hands signal age and can be off‑putting. The third mistake is over‑following trends; as men age they should gravitate toward classic, restrained looks rather than chasing every new fad. Fourth, he warns against a wardrobe of only drab, neutral tones (black, gray, brown, navy) and advises adding complementary colors that suit one’s skin tone to avoid looking dull. Finally, he advises discarding dated 1990s denim and other retro pieces, as they instantly age the wearer. The video ends with a friendly sign‑off encouraging viewers to apply these tips for a more youthful, polished appearance.

I would say that the number one mistake that a lot of guys make is not maintaining their hair. You should be in the barber chair at least twice a month. As we get older, our gray hair starts to come in, and gray hair is just unruly. It does what it wants to do. You have hair growing out your nose, hair growing out of your ears. You got to stay on top of that. Those things will make you look old. Get in your barber chair at least twice a month.
Style mistake number 2 is skipping hand care. Gentlemen, as we get older, our hands get thinner because we lose fat in our hands. On top of that, you're not moisturizing, you're letting your nail care go. Those— that one thing, believe it or not, makes you look even older. And trust me, she doesn't want your dry, chapped hands across her back. She may not say anything, but trust me, she doesn't. Take care of your hands, man.
Number 3: being too trendy. Listen, it's one thing to know what's trending. It's another thing to try and be too trendy, on top of all of the current fashion that's going on. The older we get, the more classic we should become. It's one thing as we get older, we should become more reserved, more laid back, more classic. The next one is wearing boring colors. The blacks, the grays, the browns, the navies— those are staple colors that should be in every man's wardrobe. But you have to add some color, colors that complement your skin tone. If you're wearing the same drab grays and the drab browns They tend to make you look even older. Oh, wearing old jeans. Listen, anything in the '90s should go in the trash, especially jeans. Don't give them jokers to anyone. Trash them. Old '90s gear will make anybody look old. Trash it. All right everyone, that's it. Thank you for listening. This is your guy Kevin Horn at Men's Style After 40. See you next week.
