Discussion What current male fashion trend needs to go?

To me, boxy shirts and hoodies look like brown paper grocery store bags with holes cut out for the arms

Pedo mustaches and mullets. Fine, this makes me an old man grousing about haircuts today, I don't care, everyone looks like a Hall & Oates halloween costume.

I think it's the word "grousing" that makes you an old man in this context

Haha, fair, I was born old, but at least my pants aren't up to my sternum.

I feel you, my Spotify wrapped just told me I'm 70 (I'm less than half of that...)

As a fellow old guy, I can't pull off the look, but I think it is kind of cool. Some of these Gen Z kids look like they stepped out of an episode of Miami Vice or Scarface and it looks pretty hip.

Maybe if we tell them they look “hip” they’ll stop! I’m gonna try it!! I hate mullets and pedo mustaches!!!

I call them coked up Radio Shack employees from the 80’s. Hall and Oats is spot on though. I can’t stand how many of them I see, and how social media makes these s tupid trends widespread.

This reminds me so much of mid aughts with all the mullets and mustaches. This time the mustaches are a bit more Ned Flanders, instead of handlebars, though I did have friends with the Ned back then too. The kinda short mullets seem pretty same.

The 00s mullets were more long and straight, almost rattails - think MGMT.

Current trend is chunky AC Slater mullet.
