Remember Günther Krabbenhöft? Well, this man could be either his best friend or his biggest rival. Or both.

He's 75 years old, was born and raised in Slovenia, Europe, and goes online by the nickname Gramps. But people also call him The Most Stylish Grandpa on the Internet. And they have a good reason for it.

Gramps loves streetwear. In fact, his passion for it is so strong, Gramps also enjoys recreating celebrity outfits. And he's nailing it! But the best part is that his grandkid, photographer Jannik Diefenbach, captures these recreations and posts them on his social media for all of us to see.

Jannik said that even though Gramps has always been interested in fashion, he's gotten a lot more confident since his grandkid started participating in his hobby. "Gramps was born and raised in Slovenia and during his teenage years he pulled off some cool looks (at least that's what he tells me)," Jannik told Bored Panda.

"He started wearing streetwear back in 2016-2017 when I began taking pictures of him. It started as a fun idea: I asked Gramps if he wanted to try on my clothes, and he agreed! He tried them on and looked super cool. Since he looked so good and since he felt comfortable in my clothes, we took some pictures and uploaded them on Instagram."

Eventually, as Gramps tried on more and more outfits and Jannik took more pictures of him, he incorporated streetwear into his everyday looks and really got used to it. "Nowadays, he can't leave the house without wearing his favorite sneakers and streetwear."

Jannik said their family and friends loved the pictures as well, and after three or four outfit pictures, even clothing-related pages started reposting their content, bringing followers to his account.

Granpa wins due to authenticity of shirt. You know he wore that shirt when he was 20 himself!

"At first, Gramps didn't know what happened because he didn't understand social media and the concept of likes and followers," he recalled. "But as weeks turned into months, people started to recognize him on the streets. They even asked [to take a picture with him]. That's when he finally realized that he was kind of an internet sensation."

Even now, after Jannik surpassed the 1 million follower mark and Gramps has his own clothing line, he still enjoys meeting fans and posing for pictures with them, and he still gets excited when someone recognizes him.

The truly wonderful thing is that Gramps and Jannik have gotten even closer than when they began their fun fashion adventure. "We've always been close, but our shared hobby surely elevated our bond to another level," Jannik explained.

"When I was a kid, Gramps used to pick me up from school once a week, we used to play football and sometimes table tennis. Now, we spend time together on a regular basis and (before Covid) got to travel a lot together. We work with brands and create lots of photo and video content which is perfect to relive the special moments we've had so far. Spending time with Gramps is always fun and I'm very grateful that we're able to do so much fun stuff together."

People are already calling him The Most Stylish Grandpa on the Internet
