Local man James Chapman has busted out his finest Jay Jay’s attire just in time for music festival season.
The outfit in question, a watermelon shirt with matching shorts, made its debut at Listen Out, where it was revealed 242 men wore the exact same thing. James is currently deliberating whether or not to wear it again or opt for something different – like a pineapple shirt.
“Yeah wasn’t too sure what I wanted to wear and the pressure was on from the missus,” reveals James.
“She got her matching bra and booty shorts months ago, so I needed to step it up.”
James had been walking through Queen St mall when a colourful manakin caught his eye.
Torn between that, and a collared, vertical striped shirt from Cotton On, James thought he’d walk on the wild side for once.
“You know what’d be sick with this? James asks, “a bucket hat.”
Jame’s girlfriend, Laura, thinks it’d be cute for all of her friend’s boyfriends to go with a fruit theme.
“I think it’d be really nice if all the guys coordinated”, says Laura as she sifts through the clothes rack.
“James is definitely a watermelon guy, and I reckon Tom would look great in yellow so he can be a banana.”
“Jordan’s a fuckwit so he can be a rockmelon.”
The girls will also be sticking to a theme, which looks something like casual cultural appropriation mixed with Woodstock.
“We found someone on Facebook Marketplace who’ll do cornrows for $40”, says Laura, “We’re going to buy some fake hair and each one of us will be a different colour.”
More to come.
