Man on the Street: David Arquette

The devil is in the details.

David Arquette stops at a liquor store in Los Angeles.



This is why straight guys need gays too. It'll never happen because they can't handle us measuring their inseam, but here is a classic example of someone who needed a certain sassy someone to zhuzh the outfit a little. We try not to get too in the weeds breaking down the outfits for Man on the Street because there was no stylist involved and for the most part, it's just famous dudes in their street clothes, but we have to speak up on this one.

That's a great jacket. Truly. Makes us both a little jealous. And a jacket like that pretty much has to be paired with a white shirt and a superskinny tie. Well done from the waist up, David. The thing is, a jacket like this, which is extremely referential of a particular period and look (think Hullaballoo!) can only go two ways in the pants decision. Either you make a cheeky juxtaposition and pair them with very modern jeans or you go all-in and pair them with the pegged, skinny-legged highwaters the look calls for. You don't just throw on an old pair of Dockers you found on the floor of your closet. It just looks half-assed. A jacket like that is calling for some smart pairing. Why would you deny it, David? Why?
