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

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 **** stache.A tie with a short sleeve shirt just screams Baptist preacher or Walmart manager.

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.
