Old Guy, Tight Shorts, Eeewww!
There’s this 60-something guy at my gym. In pretty good shape he is. Shows up consistently. Good for him. But EVERY TIME, I see him he’s wearing these obscene tight cotton shorts. To quote from the movie Spinal Tap, it looks like he’s got an armadillo in his trousers. And he’s scaring the children.
How can I tactfully tell him that tight cotton shorts on an old guy, or anyone for than matter, are just an unfortunate fashion choice?

If you know his vehicle, maybe put a note on his windshield?

I have someone like that at my gym as well. Maybe it’s mandatory for every gym to have a guy who wears his shorts too tight and too short? LOL!!
This dude wore his exceptionally tight. To make matters even worse, his shorts were really shiny. Hahahaha!! I thought, "Who am I to tell him what he should and shouldn’t wear. If it makes him happy, if the clothes aren’t actually physically revealing parts of his body that should be hidden by law, than that’s completely his decision!". So I just closed my eyes every time he walked by. And lifted up his foot to tie his shoe. And walked the other way when I saw him coming. LOL!! But I am a passive sort of gal. 
I’m curious to hear what you will do!
