Geezer Wear

[RAT900]

I saw an elderly man yesterday dressed as follows:

White Patent Leather slip-on shoes with gold buckles

Black knee high dress socks

Denim Shorts with waist cinched at his upper chest and leg-bottoms meeting his sock tops at his knees

Lime Green Tropical Shirt

Wrap-around Sunglasses (geezer wrap-arounds not suave dude wrap-arounds)

He was getting into the driver's seat of his Buick (of course) with Florida plates, so I know he is not blind or suffering severe mental impairment

so I was left marveling at what can only be considered his fashion sense,

he had a wife in tow....she appeared to be reasonably attired...can't she tell him he looks ridiculous?

Is there an age I need to look forward to (with dread) that will have me thinking an ensemble such as this guy's is pleasing or worthy of appearing in publicly?

Can't the State of Florida run public service ads to try to prevent these sorts of fashion disasters?

Sounds like an old person from central casting. Maybe it was a hidden camera tv show?

Dood Maybe he escaped from the retirement home and isn't all there.  I had some crazy old broad that literally escaped from the loony house and came to my dealership dressed almost exactly like Raggedy Ann. She bought a used junker Boxster off Craigslist and brought it to us to fix.  She loved it so much she had to have another, and another, that same day. So now she had three boxsters and was asking everyone in sight if they would drive one of em down to Mexico to pick up her shipment of weed as it would be a great adventure.  Apparently she had enough weed to fill all three cars.  She was out of her mind. She kept showing up for a week until her "caretaker" finally caught up with her.  I will never forget her attire of choice.

Old people in general dress different.


That is a classic outfit.

My grandpa used to wear rockport shoes, polyester pants, long sleeve shirt with a button up sweater vest that looked more like a suit vest with long sleeves then a gay ass Jim Tressel Sweater Vest (sorry Metallimonster  )


I am a firm believer in some people dress their entire life how they did during their late teens/early 20's/college years

My cousin is a perfect example. He is an attorney, so he makes plenty of money, but dresses like shit.

He still wears 1980's style Patagonia "baggy" shorts that are wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too short, with an old t-shirt and of course some white canvas shoes (he had to switch to Van's as Sperry stopped making them, but I believe now they are making them again. Whenever he finds them, he buys out the store in his size to keep on hand).

During winter months he wears old school Levi jeans, no belt, and a sweatshirt that looks like it has been to hell and back.


Of course that old man drives a buick..........once you hit 70.........that's the only car you are allowed to buy.

PIMP!

I think there are people that always have an alternative sense of style. He's probably been dressing that way all his life and his wife has probably learned (like you do with a kid), it just isn't worth making a scene about and combine that with this:

At least it provides hours of entertainment

[cyrus buelton]

I just can't figure it out.

My cousin dresses straight out of the 80's!!!!

I realize being trendy is not on everyones list........but at least a little bit should.


By the way..........he wears penny loafers to work.....with a penny in them.

[LMT]

Don't be a hater!  I have penny loafers and wear them often. I also have saddle shoes.  2 pair, red and blue and pink and green.

No, that would be tacky!

Why do old men pull their pants up to the nipple line?

[fastwin]

All Buicks come equiped from the factory with handicap plates.
