Question Real life Jerico!

When I saw the picture of this guy dressed the way he was the first thing that came to mind was "I thought Jerico was black?"


It is apparently is from some designer that must either be a fan of WU or just insane

Jericho might wear an outfit like that, but no clashing colors to make it a true Jericho outfit.

Yeah, where are the psychedelic purples, greens, reds, yellows and blues in plaid?

What I find particularly intriguing about this image is the person in the background with the bright blue socks and orange shoes. I want to know more, but Johnny Incompeskirt is in the way.

I understand wanting to make a gender fluid suit, but shouldn't it look... Sane?

Nearly posted a picture of one of my kids the other day.
She was truly channeling Jerico.

In honor of Razorback.

Pretty sure that that one would count as obscene in a few countries

Is that a lizard in your pocket, or are you just pleased to see me?

I think the length of the shirt was to keep him from being arrested for indecent exposure.

You mention the fashion misdemeanors in this photo, and I agree with them. But other than that it is far to a picture of Jerico. Jerico might well wear something this awkward, but if he did it would be in several clashing colors.

Several different clashing variants of plaid, you must have meant.

Let's be honest for a second, almost every "fashion show designer" is a bit insane. Most of the "fashion" shown on the runways would be suitable for Jericho with some palette swapping.

Runway models don't usually showcase clothes that the general population would ever wear. They showcase clothes that "show off the talent" of the designer, which usually seems to involve making clothing that is completely impractical, usually bordering on obscene, typically with uneven weight distribution that is fine for someone to put on and walk for a minute, but nobody would cope with for several hours.
And in my opinion, nine times out of ten, looks ugly as crap.

I think the colour scheme is far too restrained for Jericho, although I could see him going for those shoes on the right.

The latest offense against reality is "men's rompers".
Whoever thinks THAT will be a trend is smoking something funny. Maybe to certain crowds, but if you think an oil-field worker will EVER wear a romper in his off-time ..... Frankly, I think they look totally stupid. No, stupid is too mild a word.

When Jericho's clothing choices seem sensible, it's time to get worried.

Not to mention that those "haute couture" things are designed for a person who is so many sigmas off "average" that it's not even a joke. For women, it's a 1.9-meter-tall, 45-kg stick with no breasts, no hips, and a BMI usually found in acute cases of starvation. For male fashion models, I'm not sure what are the requirements...

Oh, and those "men's rompers" really look stupid. Like short-sleeve pajamas, but without the ease and convenience when you wake up in the middle of the night for a quick run to the bathroom.

But then, ease and convenience are dirty words on the vocabulary of fashion people. Years ago, I remarked to an acquaintance of mine (she owned a menswear store) that I have a hard time buying shirts (I favor the so-called "engineer shirts" for work: collar, button-down, short sleeves) because the pocket is often too small to fit my Palm m505 plus a pen/stylus (yes, it was THAT long ago. Nowadays the requirement is to fit a 5-inch cell phone). Her utterly surprised reaction was "But, but but... you PUT STUFF in POCKETS?" And I had to explain to her that YES, that's what pockets are FOR.
And the reason men like pockets (and dislike purses) is that we are evolutionarily designed for combat. We instinctively want to have our hands free if a sabretooth ambushes us in the way to the food court (disclaimer: I'm not a physical guy. The last time I had an actual altercation I was fifteen, and I claim teenage stupidity as an excuse. I'm in my fifties now). There's a reason why Batman wears an utility belt instead of carrying an utility satchel -- even if it has a larger capacity, in a combat situation a satchel will go everywhere BUT where you want it, becoming a liability.
But that's how fashion people's minds work.

So... haute couture is intended to help Darwin Award contestants along their way!


Being old enough to have watched "Romper Room", back when rompers were just tyke-sized overalls and the show was produced in black-and-white...

"Stylish Men Short Sleeve Shirts Pants Romper One Piece Shorts Jumpsuit Playsuits"

strikes me more as "age play" than street fashion.

That was what I was trying to say, but somehow about a third of my typing got eaten by that evil magician 'Puter' once again, and I failed to re-read before I hit the send (submit) button!
