I saw this guy standing in a crowd of people after a fashion show. He looked perfectly normal until the crowd parted just enough to reveal his crazy shark pants. I always love an unexpected touch of humor.

i played a little game with myself on this one. read the title and tried to envision what “shark pants” would look like. SKin tight skins or leather looking like skin came to mind. Never in a million would i have guessed these….awesome

Right! And he’s not pretending to be “fashiony” or anything. He knows he’s wearing goofy pants. Unlike the fools who put on Thom Browne and think they’re somehow stylish and avant garde because their clothes are too small… WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND!!!

Not only are the shark pants great, but also his shoes, necklace, stance, and the way he is holding his jacket! This is a great photograph, love the shading on the stairs (or is it rust?) and the background, with the open door and “Entry” sign, and colorless sky.

Wow — love it! Something that looks very Australian — something you’d see nowhere else!
Very totem-y.
I think this is what future male fashion will look like. More whimsical than it is now and more personal in expression.
Online people are creating “avatars” for themselves — I think they’ll start dressing avatar-like soon enough!

love that this was taken after a fashion show. usually people tend to take fashion ( & their dressing ) more seriously at things like these, but i like how he remains unaffected by the glamor and the hype.
