More Old vs New

[Spitfire]

Remember having a white sports coat. Wore colored t-shirts with it. AKA Sonny Crockett from Miami Vice. We were casual but fashionable. And the chicks loved it. LOL

My clothing style hasn't changed since the 80's. I still wear Key overalls on my days off and button fly Levis 501s, New Balance sneaks and a Carhartt T shirt to church on Sunday.

Yeah, my "style" from high school days in the '70s would be pretty interchangeable with the clothes I wear now, boot cut jeans, boots, t-shirt or henley in the Summer and a plain button down, long sleeve shirt in the cooler weather.

Can we bring this back? I'm about to be looking for my first ever office job I have no idea what modern business casual is supposed to be. If we could just change the rules to this life would be not only easy, but comfortable and classy.

A tie with a short sleeve shirt just screams Baptist preacher or Walmart manager. But combine that with a pair of shorts with knee socks, and I dunno what in the hell you got going on there, Gilbert.

High school gym teacher/social studies teacher. That's what I always think of when a guy is wearing a short sleeve button up shirt and a tie. Especially when he is sporting a porn stache.

Thats the other thing we need to come back into style. Mustaches. My wife hates them, so at least if theyre fashionable again I might have a better chance of growing one. Its the only facial hair I can grow well, I actually grow a mean mustache, cant grow a beard to save my life.

My wife and I constantly laugh about how I think men my dad's age (late 50s) and older look so natural sporting any style of mustache, but people my age (late 30s) or younger just look awkward. I know it is completely illogical, but my reaction is consistent haha.

I've heard that from many people, maybe I am just in denial. I would think there would be a more open mindset about mustaches at least from my wife, her dad had a mustache the majority of his life, until retiring and growing a goatee.

My dad has had a mustache my entire life except one short time when he accidentally trimmed it too short and ended up shaving it to start over haha.

I would never discourage someone from having some fun with their hair or facial hair, the part I think is funny is my illogical distinction between normal and abnormal based on the age of the mustache wearer. I dread the day I end up back in an oil patch where H2S is a big enough concern I have to shave again. For now, I get to sneak by with just trimming my beard down to a bit longer than a 5 o'clock shadow if I have to go out in the field.

I don't know about that... But I do know I've threatened to boot the wife if she ever grows a better mustache than I can. What is it about getting older and growing hair where it shouldn't? I swear...I have more hair on/in my ears, eyes and nostrils than I do on my head since my late 50s.
