Frat style has been around pretty much since the start of fraternity’s. Since the first Frat guy, you had the first frat snap, the first pair of New Balance shoes, and the first party. Frat style has changed exponentially over the years making a big change in the early 2000s, but the style has developed into something altogether different over the last few years. Frat style has started to fall in line more and more with the style of your beloved grandfathers.
So here are five ways frat guys look like your grandfather.
1. New Balance Shoes
With the development of frat style, one type of foot ware has risen above the rest, the New Balance Shoe. They are comfortable, stylish, and not very expensive. With a pair of New Balance, you can easily fall into the ranks of frats around the world while also looking a lot like your granddad. Heck, even my grandfather has a pair and I’m pretty sure most grandpa’s own or have owned a pair. So lace up!
2. The Old Collard Shirt
This category may seem rather vague so let me elaborate. It’s that old shirt that your granddad used to wear. You know the one. It’s a dull tan color with mallard ducks or sailboats or something on it. Yeah, that shirt.You wear that and you are a fratty mcFraterson. Also, you’ll look like your granddad.
3. Chubbies
Chubbies are a pretty new concept making a boom in the frat industry in the last couple of years. And nothing says frat boy like showing off you’re greasy white thighs to the world in a pair of multicolored Daisy Dukes. Let’s face it, everyone has seen an old guy rocking a pair of mid-thigh shorts whilst sitting on the porch sipping an ice cold cup of sweet tea. So don’t worry, you’ll still get to wear your chubbies when you’re 65.
4. The Stache
Only the most professional frats will go for the mustache and boy does it look sexy. Nothing beats a nasty looking creeper stache to show you’re frat pride. And of course you’ll look like some of the coolest grandads to ever walk this earth. So put down the razors and man up. It's mustache time.
5. The Dad Bod
The last and maybe one of the most influential frat styles is the dad bod. Frats all around the country have put down the celery and picked up the Twinkies. It is very obvious that this development can only be attributed to all those beer gutted grandpas out there, so thanks Gramps for showing us the way. If you wish to take on the challenge of the dad bod then go get those donuts! Eat that extra slice of pizza, and drink as much beer as you want!
