GRANDPA PANTS! And I love them! You know those pants that look like they were created in the 70s and still look brand spankin new. Grandpa's really know how to hang on to clothing!

I agree with the socks! Specifically white athletic socks worn with shorts. That is why ankle socks were invented.

Pants with a large rise, i.e. the male version of "Mom jeans"

Loafers with tassels.

Sweater vests.

Sweater cardigans.

The exception to the sweater vest rule. The Sonics rocked.

I was going to say something similar....there has been a resurgence of sorts on sweater vests - some are kind of cool/hipster looking....and others...not so much...

Old guy? Polyester, Sans-a-Belt pants with clip on suspenders...

That doesnt say "old guy". It says "guy with jail record" or "meth dealer" or even "white dude who is trying to be like a black dude".
