Majority of Wu was from Staten Island, even in the 90s a lot of their fashion choices had people like :patrice:
TBS, these outfits actually aren't that bad for what it is. At least the colors are standard. I won't be dressing like that in my 50s but this is at least an tasteful example of washed dudes clinging to their youth

I called him that before he was dead. That was a thread from 2013. And he was aboslutely shuckin and jivin just like Ro Parrish.

The world in which Stuart Scott is a real nikka and Rae and Ghost are c00ns is the world you can have. I want no parts of it. It's for lames and morons.

Californ-i-a by way of BK
Exactly. And he keep saying they 63 years old. They ain’t even near 60.
Word. Plus, shyt, Ice T is 63 and he dresses exactly how he dressed in the 90s lol.

Like I said, some people change up, but it's very rare. Most people keep the same style of fashion their whole lives. They may change with the times, but they not switching their entire style up. Anything prior to the 80s is pre-Hip Hop era, so you can't really go back to how 50+ year olds were dressing back in the 50s, 60s, and 70s as a reference point. And I think that's what a lot of people are doing. The way street nikkas dressed changed in the 80s going into the 90s, and 2000s. So as time goes on, you gonna see more and more people 50+ dressing like Rae and Ghost or Hov or Nas, etc...

You dress how you did in your prime. The thing is back then in the 70s and 80s, the fashion for the old heads wasn't as fly so they looked way out of character. 90's style was one of those 1 in a million things where you will look fly no matter what era and it seems to be coming back anyway. If you were a teen or in your 20s in your 90s, you'll get hated on for trying to "dress like a teen" when in fact that's all YOU KNOW growing up during that time. Same thing with yall's great grand daddies, that's all they knew, the clothes just didn't look fly :jawalrus:

it aint their fault they grew up in a fresh era, i would even say early 90s colorful clothing is coming back as well :hubie:

Will smith will still look fly in his fresh prince drip, especially when you're in shape :salute:
