If your ID says you were born on or before this day in 1983, then listen up: There are a few style rules that you should start abiding by in order to not look like an old man clinging onto the last vestiges of his youth. Being 30 is cool—embrace it and let go of dressing like a boy band member or whatever rapper is hot on the Internet at the moment. Look in the mirror and check the 10 Things You Should Stop Wearing After You Turn 30

Drop Crotch Pants

Is your diaper full, or are you just trying to infuse some Justin Bieber into your adult life? Drop crotch pants look gross on everyone, especially on guys over 30. You shouldn't perpetuate the inevitable saggy sack to come in the next 20 years of your life, so cherish these times when all of your parts are close to you. It's totally cool if you are a ninja, but you are not a ninja, so leave these alone.

Tank Tops As A Shirt

Women's bodies start to change after 30 and gravity gets the best of all things taut and tight. Unfortunately, the same thing happens to guys. So unless you frequent the gym, do everyone a favor and put a shirt on over that wife beater. It's called an undershirt for a reason. No one wants to see your keg, and your blossoming man tits.

Backpacks

Backpacks are perfect for toting your lunchbox or your cool gadget for show and tell. Unless you are camping or going on a hike, you probably should use something other than a backpack to carry your gear around. There's tons of grown-up options from duffels, to tote bags, to messenger bags. Getting older sucks, but you don't have to rock a backpack like you're still in grade school. 

Skinny Jeans

I know, you're proud of all those leg presses you've been doing in the gym. Congrats on those calves bro, but nobody wants to see them—nobody. On top of that, if your girl asks to borrow your jeans and they fit her, then you should probably also know she's cheating on you with the mailman, the cable guy, or any other guy that continued to develop after puberty.

Snapbacks

It's not that you can't wear a snapback, or even flip it to the back to reveal the strap; it's just that you look like a complete idiot. Snapbacks are the hat equivalent of having a velcro wallet—leave it to the young bucks. If you want to rock a similar hat, fitteds are still fair game. Plus, how else are we supposed to cover up that rapidly receding hair line?
