What not to wear

For a while now, it has come to mind that I should change my style of dress.  I want to look presentable and age appropriate.  I found a blog on which someone had laid out how a man should dress. How To Dress Like a Man by Jeffrey A. Tucker I assume he is a fashion expert of some kind and the ideas he expressed are sensible and struck me well.  Of course I may be easily led.  

One thing he said is that there are only two brands of shoes that are worth buying, Allen Edwards or Aldens.  I am relying on memory so those may be off a little.  He said all others are junk.  When it comes to socks, you just go with solid colors.  Green, blue, brown etc. no argyle or multicolor patterns.  Also,  don't choose a color that is lighter than the jacket you'll be wearing.
Old men should wear suits at all times and always with a tie.  That's the only thing an old man looks good in.  

Advice for finding acceptable suits?  You can get good buys on Ebay or thrift stores(difficult) but if you have to go retail you need to spend at least $450 for a suit.  

An entire man's wardrobe need only take up 12 to 18 inches in a closet.  It was nice to find this information.  It is certainly a good place to start.  The idea is to dress in a way that makes you feel good about yourself, doesn't draw attention and is consistent.  You are a man, you are dependable and you don't change.   I might try some of these ideas and see how I like it.  You may have to get used to seeing me in a suit.
