70s clothes guy (1)

There's this guy at work whose entire wardrobe consists of clothes he purchased in the 1970s. I never claim to be the kind of person who has much fashion sense, so I'm not really in a position to cast judgement. But this guy is ridiculous. His clothes aren't just a few years old or even 10-20 years old. I have a few shirts from about 10 years ago that still fit me (if I had anything from before then, I'd be wearing children's clothes). His clothes are a good 30 years old. The reason I can tell the clothes are from the 70s is because they're extremely tight-fitting (and they still fit; kudos to his incredible form) and they consist of colors and patterns that are impossible to find in any type of clothing these days. It looks like he bought everything from a thrift store, except I can tell he's the person who supplies the thrift store, not the one who shops there. His bell-bottom dress pants flare out nicely at the bottom and almost reach the tops of his shiny little leather shoes. His shirts are always strange combinations of light blue, pink, and yellow, and his pants are always some sort of brown or blue. I've shopped for clothes before. I know what's out there. And I know there's nothing like this out there. This guy hasn't bought new clothes since Jimmy Carter was president. He hasn't changed his style since the last episode of the Brady Bunch. He hasn't ... ok that's enough. My main point is this: We work at the same place. Judging from his age, I would say he makes about twice as much as I do. If I'm able to afford some new clothes every now and then, I think he should be able to as well. It's not that there's anything wrong with old clothes or being too poor to get new clothes. Hand-me-downs, consignment shops, and thrift stores are all great things. But this guy has no need to be wearing 30-year-old clothes. It's just inexcusable. #lifestyle
