Retired swimmer Michael Phelps, who was vague about possibly making a comeback in 2016, posted a picture on his Instagram debuting a new look.
Phelps was photographed with his niece, and the swimmer was sporting a mustache.

Phelps, arguably the most decorated Olympian of all time, retired after the 2012 Olympics, but when asked about what the future holds, he was vague about a possible return at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio.
"I don't know what's going to happen in the future," Phelps said Monday, according to The Associated Press. "I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow."
Phelps, 28 and a native of Maryland, has won 87 gold medals over his illustrious career, but was adamant that his days of swimming were done after the 2012 games. Unfortunately for Phelps, the mustache isn't the only new look he's debuting as he's also wearing a boot cast due to injuring his toe when he jammed it in his couch at home. Phelps then re-aggravated the injury playing in a golf tournament at Lake Tahoe.
While Phelps didn't necessarily rule out a return on Monday, the swimmer didn't exactly say he was a lock to return.
"I don't know. We're in 2013," Phelps said to the Associated Press about possibly coming out of retirement in 2016. "There's nothing in the works."
It'll be interesting to see if Phelps debuts his new-look mustache at the Olympic Games in 2016 and if a possible return ever unfolds.
