Red Pair of Chuck Taylors by Converse with Loose Laces.
Happy Monday everyone!
Finally my first blog on here. I have been thinking about what to write about, and I just decided to learn as I go. So here we go! I wanted to bring you a topic blog first. I would love your feedback on the topic cause it hits home.
So I came across this list of clothing that 40-Year-Old Men should not wear. I dare them lol. Listen most of the things on this list are my casual wear go-to's. I started my company Black Heart Tees Clothing off the love of Graphic Tees (Shirts With Images or Designs.) Don't get me started on the Clothing With Branding. Do you all agree it basically is saying do not try to dress younger than what you are? Do You agree? I think so, and I dress what is comfortable and fits my style. I think that will go for men and women right?
First off, here’s a quick list of specific things to avoid, assuming you don’t want people to think you’re trying to look younger:
Distressed jeans (any kind of tears, fading, or stains)
Graphic tees
Sandals or flip flops
Baseball caps (at least worn backward)
Clothes with large logos or obvious branding
Hooded sweatshirts
Denim shorts
Basketball sneakers/tennis shoes
Overly trendy hairstyles
Tight-fitting clothes
Baggy clothing
Let's break this list down shall we lol :).
Jeans are jeans they wear out over time that's what they do. It’s a badge of honor to have jeans with holes. They have a history behind those tears.
Graphic Tees live by them, I literally will go on scavenger hunts for the right graphic tees. I grew up as a kid loving to go to a place I knew would have t-shirts. Let's say the airports for the different state shirts I would collect.
Not a Fan Of Any Sandals or Flip Flops aka Slides. NEXT! lol
Baseball Caps Yes I have a baseball team that we will not mention lol. I love what are called fitted caps, and not really a fan of trucker or dad hats.
Clothes with large logos or branding. Isn't that the point of a Clothing Brand To brand! Come on people what is that? I am always rocking my brand anywhere I go to get it out to people. And the bigger the better for people to take interest, right?

Another one I am not happy about Hooded Sweatshirts. Why, what is wrong with wearing a nice dope hoodie? Hoodie Season is my favorite season. I make hoodies darn it. Why can we not wear hoodies, especially if you live up North? The Craziness!!!
Not going to argue with this one lol No Denim Shorts for me. NEXT!
Basketball sneakers or tennis shoes. Like what not even for playing basketball or tennis. Guess they out there rocking Stacy Adams on the court, right? I love Nike Air Force 1's and The Jordan 4's. Next Chucks and Nike Cortez's. Won't give up my sneakers nope.
Red and Black Nike Sneakers
I am only rocking a bald hair trend nowadays, and it’s easy to manage. Thanks.
Why would I be trying to rock some tight-fitting clothes at my age? I can barely fit into my regular clothes sometimes. For me to be out here trying to fit in something too small go ahead with that.
Baggy Clothes ummmm. This could be a topic on its own. Defining what is baggy to some may not be to others. Now back in the day we use to rock 5 and 6XL Shirts just cause lol. Do not ask! But that was excessive baggy. Now It’s a size up most times to get some room. Some clothes suffocate you. Am I Wrong?
WHAT???
Shocked What Face on a Kid
So the moral of the story is, bump them! No just kidding! This is why people do not have individual styles. They are always being told what is the norm or what's trending. Be You Be Yourself as I always say to people. You have to do what makes you feel like you. Not who somebody tells you to dress like.
How did I Do Leave your Feedback and all that Good Stuff!
Thank you all for reading and supporting the brand. I still have so much to learn. Walk with me though.
