I like this older gentleman's style. He wears a lot of Outlier, BYBORRE, and Abasi Rosborough.

He also looks like he's about to drop a truth bomb on the International Atomic Energy Agency.

some fits are cool/wacky but there are a lot of misses either way i commend him for going with the flow.

I just have a cardholder since we hardly ever use cash here but I always miss a wallet when abroad (especially in Barcelona for some reason).

Yeah I also miss my wallet when in Barcelona. Cuz it got pickpocketed

Looks like a guy who needs to dress his age.

He told me he's forced to dress this way because he's not on Rich Clientele's float team.

I usually love the style of older guys who give no *****. But not this. This seems to be a case of 'money can't buy you style.' He looks like he's just gone out and bought a load of very expensive new stuff and is wearing it specially to be photographed. He doesn't look comfortable and it's not clear that he's got any personal style, which by the time you're this age, you really should IMHO. (His hair is also annoying me, but that's beside the point!)

I'm actually loving that old guy. We've all seen so many curated and styled IG accounts belonging to ppl in the clothing industry I think we've forgotten what amateur ones look like. If he lived in my neighborhood I'd look forward to seeing him for sure.

I don't have anything against older people dressing more youthfully, etc. But looking at that guy, none of it seems to work.

I look forward to watching a clown perform, but that doesn't mean I take him seriously.

Love that guy. He DGAF and tries some ambitious fits. I’m glad he’s not dressing like Mitch McConnell just because he’s older than the average fashion aficionado. I think that some of the comments about the fits not working are suffering from implicit bias against his older face. It’s implicit and we don’t usually realize it. If you photoshopped a younger dude’s face in most of those fits, you’d give it 40 thumbs in WAYWT.

it’s hard to overcome our biases - this is not new.

While I personally am not into this style, I think it's pretty undeniable that everything fits his body exceptionally and all of the fits are good representations of the brands (photos 3 & 4 are my favorites). If you go to his IG, he has a lot more photos of him smiling, which I think look much better than the serious poses. The smiling photos make him look much more natural and comfortable.

For wallets, I'm a huge fan of the oddly-named MildyHands on Etsy, which I probably learned of from someone on here. I somehow developed very particular taste in edge-finishing, and this guy was one of the few sub-$500 wallets that seemed to hit the mark. Good leather, good options for colors - just beautiful stuff. I've since bought my dad one in blue, and he loves it. You can see more of his work in instagram @rexjhuang

For real. This one really hammered home a feeling of "I think I'm done with this" for me. It has just diverged too much from my tastes over the past 3-5 years.
