Where to shop for clothes if you’re a guy in your 40s
Are you a guy in your forties that hates clothes shopping? If you are then this article is for you.
You might have leaned down, need a new wardobe but don’t know where to shop. I have some suggestions. There are lots of great places in the UK which make it easy to dress with style.
Your 30s were about getting to where you are, your 40s are about celebrating the goals you have achieved and maintaining that momentum.
Now is the time to finesse everything you have learned in your 20s and 30s and galvanise your style, especially if you have built a new leaner body.
Today’s well-dressed guys in their 40s like David Beckham, Patrick Grant, and Idris Elba have created their look and style, paying attention to the detail.
Dressing in your 40s - where to shop?
I’ve selected a few men’s online fashion stores that should make the task easier and a little less painful.
Thread
The London startup Thread is an online store which takes the guesswork out of what looks good on you. I took it for a test drive and here’s what I found.
I got asked a series of simple questions about my skin tone, eye colour, height, build and my measurements. They also ask your age range, styles you like and the price you’d pay for various items like shoes and shirts.
It literally took 5 minutes to setup and then I was good to go. They have free delivery on orders over £50, free 100-day returns and buy now pay later with Klarna. I got a £15 gift card if I spent £50 in the first 2 days.
Thread’s mission is to help people feel their best by making it easy to dress well because they believe adding to your wardrobe should always add to your confidence. A mission that aligns very closely to our mission here at Lean6.

Bigboys.co.uk
Wherever you are in your Lean6 Body Transformation we believe you should look and feel great. We all start somewhere. For me, it was at 120kgs and I could never find clothes that fitted properly.
I wish I had known about Bigboys, big sizes for big fellas, back then. They offer sizes from 2XL to 7XL. It’s their mission to provide larger guys with great choice and the widest choice of brands, styles and sizes on the web.
They have a great selection of larger sizes and take the guesswork out of which clothes make a good look with their Key Looks section.
They offer free delivery on all orders and if you are in a rush their Royal Mail Tracked Service is just £1.99 Their customer service telephone number is 0113 249 1531 and their email address is info@bigboys.co.uk.
Next.co.uk
I’d describe Next as all things to all guys. If you need a shirt, in your size, the chances they have one that is a good fit and will be delivered to your door the next day.
Every guy’s ‘go to store’ and online shop for quick easy clothes available in lots of different fits. What’s not to like? They even have an app to make ordering easy.
Next makes creating your look easy with their Lookbook. Stylish clothes already put together to form a great look. Fast next day delivery is available either to store for pickup or direct to your home.
As a tall guy I especially like their extra length trousers. They are always a good fit and they have several styles available.
Their online ordering and general enquires telephone number is 0333 777 8000. You can also contact them via Chat and by email via their contact form.
Jacamo.co.uk
Jacamo launched back in 2007 with a mission to provide every man with a wardrobe he can count on and wear with pride.
They exist to champion the true measure of a man, with their latest campaign celebrating not only physical strength but, more importantly, the mental side of the modern man. This shone out to us as we realise the importance of good mental health at Lean6 and how exercise can help improve mental health.
Shopping with Jacamo is easy and they have a quick Find your Fit page where you can get your sizing quickly and easily. They stock an extensive range of fits to suit every build.
