There are a lot of retro/vintage trends in clothing that millenials have brought back or are part of now.
Raw denim, vintage workwear, leather jackets, etc.
Pomade also had a major resurgence recently and a lot of millenials are in on that as well.
If you extend it to women's fashion, there are a lot of '80s inspired stuff being brought back as well.
I don't make fun of middle aged men who dress their age, I make laugh (internally) at anyone who tries too hard or is not trying at all.
An middle-aged guy trying to look young is hilarious as is a teenager in a man bun, Yeezeys, and those idiotic saggy crotch pants or joggers.
Just as tragic to me is anyone who just doesn't even try. These are the middle-aged men wearing dad jeans... and the millenials who also wear dad jeans. I just wish more people would put some sort of effort into how they dress, even if I disagree with what they are doing. Just following all the trends or not trying at all is painful to watch.
A perfect example is at my work. Most of my co-workers are in their 40's and 50s.
I work in sales so I generally wear a suit when seeing customers.
The pants may be a little too tapered, but I'm not shelling out $2g's plus for a custom fit that actually works.
Some of the managers wears those pathetic excuses for black dress shoes that look like an orthopedic shoe had sex with Homer Simpson's shoes.
They look like this, except they're worse.
Then they toss on an oversized blazer that is the shade of grey that is just different enough from their grey dress pants to make them look horrible and call that professional.
It's a joke.
There are other sales guys that are the same age that wear more traditional dress shoes in colors other than black and 'grey that used to be black,' vests, ties, etc. I don't agree with their style choices always. I despise pleats for example, but their clothes do at least fit properly, even if I don't agree with the cut and it's obvious they put at least some effort into their clothing even if they didn't spend much money on any of it. That's all I ask for...
