Please welcome into the pantheon of legendarily dressed old dudes German man Günther Anton Krabbenhöft. Krabbenhöft's age has been reported in the media as 104, while he claims that he is actually half that; the truth probably lies somewhere in the middle, though. Either way, the Internet can't get enough of the swaggy grandpa's inimitable since he was discovered by German street style blog Shickaa

Krabbenhöft said that his very vibrant personal style simply comes from dressing how he wants to and injecting happiness to every 'fit. "I've always dressed like this," he told Shickaa. "When I went to work, when I go to exercise. I want to look at myself with joy. It's also always a reflection of my inner self." Krabbenhöft dresses himself in modern hipster favorites—think eclectic headwear, bowties, and suspenders—but we have a feeling he's been dressing like this way before the bearded dudes in Williamsburg caught on.

After captivating the Internet with just the single image posted to Shickaa​, Krabbenhöft has started to post images of his outfits to his Facebook page in order to feed the web's love for him—check out some of the best below.
