Spats

I saw a guy yesterday in the building wearing spats. Spats! He was under 30 and wearing a suit. And actual SPATS.


For illustration purposes only. Actual spats are worn slightly higher on the shoe with a longer trouser.

Are they making a comeback? What meeting did I miss?

Thank you for posting this as though I've read the word many times I'd no idea what spats were. Detachable bellbottoms, apparently.

Actually more like shoulder pads for your shoes. They look great with shorts.
