Seems like he’s into skinny jeans and cargo pants, plus expensive sneakers. Not something most guys over the age of 30 can pull off.Offdee is working the casual style. Wait - he’s not here anymore
Those pants are awful. Joggers a million times over those ill fitting things that have a huge ugly pocket on the sideI’ve said it before, I really like these pants + a fitted t or subdued aloha shirt (probably won’t fly outside tropical climates, but could work in Vegas).
ETA And hard pass on joggers.

The OP didn’t reveal his age, but I assume he’s standard fbg demographic. Maybe it happens in places like LA, but I’ve never seen middle aged dudes in joggers. Is that really happening elsewhere?Those pants are awful.

Again, I’m no fashion expert, but find that shocking. I’ve not seen any older guys in them, despite multiple trips in the last year, including major airports in the US and three other countries. To be fair, Mexico, Canada and Japan aren‘t exactly known for their style, and I don’t set foot in bars or clubs, if I can avoid it.Everywhere.The OP didn’t reveal his age, but I assume he’s standard fbg demographic.

Yeah, dont ever buy those OP.
They haven't gone out of style yet friend. Been a good solid 6 or 8 year run at this pointJoggers were big back in 2016. I have a pair of camos, just to make sure I looked like I should have a pair of Oakleys to go with it.
Joggers? Really back in style? Oof.

Any place that has a dress code is whackedBut any place with a dress code that allows joggers but no jeans is seriously whacked.

Yeah I like them. Although I get them a size up so I don’t look like I’m wearing skinny Jeans.They haven't gone out of style yet friend.

I don't get the big hang up on joggers. They're just fitted jogging pants. Jogging pants have been around since I've been alive and now they're just fitted much like the trend of chinos, jeans, etc. And yes, athletic leisure style has become quite commonplace regardless of age. Thank Lulu Lemon and the pandemic for that.

Never left. Some are more slim fit and look like khakis, good for work. Others are baggier and more like sweats for leisure. Some are very baggy- that’s a Japanese influence.Joggers were big back in 2016. I have a pair of camos, just to make sure I looked like I should have a pair of Oakleys to go with it.

While I agree with the bolded, I don't think many people outside the sneakerhead community find old Jordans, or many of the coveted retro athletic shoes, timeless. It's a niche collector market.Would you recommend a middle-aged novice dive into the retro sneaker market?Those pants are awful.

Why not? Quality sneakers are timeless. People are still wearing the same Jordan model from 1985. I'm more of a Stan Smith guy but whatever floats your boat.
Personally think guys over 50 wearing high tops look a little silly but that’s probably just me. I put them in the same category as sports jerseys when you’re not at a game.While I agree with the bolded, I don't think many people outside the sneakerhead community find old Jordans, or many of the coveted retro athletic shoes, timeless.

Ultimately its all subjective, of course, but I wonder what percentage of the general population appreciates the aesthetic of high-priced sneakers? It's a lot easier to understand the enduring style of fancy dress shoes, at least from my vantage point.
It’s the tapered cuffs. I grew up when pegged jeans were a thing, and it’s not a good look imo. Just like the other end of the spectrum - bell bottoms were and are hideous.They haven't gone out of style yet friend. Been a good solid 6 or 8 year run at this pointJoggers were big back in 2016.

Substitute decades for years for me.
I just bought some of these joggers and plan on wearing tomorrow to work. I am always behind in all things fashion by at least 1-2 years of course.

Maybe a bit more casual than what looking for, but Mack Weldon Ace Sweatpants have become my go-to while working from home. Comfortable, and tapered fit.

Those are pretty nice. I think the OP may want a pair of drawstring chinos. Been seeing them a lot over the past few years. Something like this: https://www.mrporter.com/en-us/mens...g-cotton-drawstring-trousers/1647597292335701

Don't get caught up on the price. That's my schtick homey and I'm just giving examples. Similar styles can be found at J Crew, Saks and even Target for much cheaper.
WTF is going on with the names of those things??
Two pairs of pants or a new Xbox? The choice is clear.(Angry old man voice): 240 dollars? I can buy 8 pairs of Wrangler's for that!
Straight leg, boot cut and all that is back for sure.I think skinny jeans might stick around for a little longer Kanye had started making moves out of the blue, wide leg jeans moves, then boom cancelled. I know because I've been waiting so long for that moment but not while big skinny is constantly looking over our shoulder.
