Seems like everyone goes through a phase where you think your parents are lame. Then you get a little older and realize they were really cool at one point. If you need proof, just look at the photos.
It always blew my mind that my grandparents used to dress to the nines to go to the movies. My grandpa would wear a full suit and my grandma would wear a fancy dress. It’s like they were going to prom or something.
Times have changed, though. Putting on a suit to go to the movies sounds ridiculous to me. I’ll stick to my sweatpants and t-shirt. I’m sure my grandparents would be proud.
This viral Twitter thread started by @AdamSerwer has people sharing old school cool vintage photos of their relatives and parents. We also threw in some other randoms that were just too cool to leave out.
