Wow this guy is great! He reminds me of my grandpa except a lot classier. Who said you can't wear sandals and socks, again? Cuz that person should take a look at this gentleman.
These two photos represent an iconic generation long since passed. KC Rowland's style and Clair with her vintage dress that is the sexiest pic I've seen you post thus far.
I like sandals and socks, dammit. Comfortable as hell and a proper FU to lazy style writers who slap this on lists of apparent faux pas year in, year out.
This picture made me smile. My dad wore that same hat. It is one of the few things of his I kept after he died. It still smells of his Marlboro Lights.
lovely, but i'm in agreement about the socks/sandals combo: if it's too cold to go sockless, wear shoes. or move to seattle as this unfortunate fashion statement is all too prevalent here.
He looks like he couldn't give a flying rat's nether bits about anyone else's opinion of sandals with socks. He likes them. He wears them. Any questions? He didn't think so.
Love an urban safari! I didn't automatically experience feelings of warmth when I saw this though. Im being honest! Appreciating the fact that he doesn't want to blend into the crowd though : )
Love the utility and comfort of his outfit. Pockets for his reading glasses and wallet. And Crystal Power to enhance his mojo out there in the concrete jungle.
Love the hat, the shades and the sandals. I even do not mind the socks. After all, they are not white but stay within the colour range. And at his age, he is right to keep his feet comfy and warm. This is a stylish man.
