I don't know how to create a link ,m.live has pictures of Devin Bushs' suit. and ponytail. What do you think. I don't have the vocabulary to describe the whole look.

I'm old, but I raised 3 very fashionable daughters. I actually like the concept, but it fell down on the execution.

The white strap thing is a trend--wearing a bib-type object over a suit. I'm not crazy about the trend, but I get it. The problem is the suit jacket underneath is very traditional and almost bland. It also doesn't fit him--too loose. Get a tailored suit, Devin! You've got the Benjamins now.

The white t-shirt isn't enough to give it the pop of white and contrast that a traditional tuxedo look does with a big field of white against black. That field of white is what makes 007 and Men in Black so bad-ass. The T also makes me wonder if the cuffs are just sewn into the coat or is it some weird button up shirt that's been cut up.

Biggest issue, to me, is the slacks look like they are a different material than the coat. They don't match at all. Like he found slacks he liked, pulled a separate coat off a rack, and then stuck the bib-type object over top to try to make it all match. Major faux pas.

If you're going to take a fashion risk, you have to get the details perfect.

As close as I'll get to a chart:

Concept

Fashion forward-ish with push of current trend. +.5

Tailoring

Coat loose, slit in slacks creates no break and they're too long, get a tailor! -1

Shoes

Seriously, cutting the slacks to show those? You're a millionaire, time for adult shoes. -1

Accessories

Glasses are cool, headphones give the can't be arsed look of a model. +1 (-.5 for silver chain against white)

Pose

Torso not at 1/4, toes out, slouched, and missed the mark--cover up that X. -1

Coordination   

Wrong fabric, wrong colors, wrong cuffs with wrong shirt. Just wrong. -2

Total

-4

I thought, "dang he must have hurt his shoulder." I even asked my friend if he'd ever seen a brace like that. Then I realized, oh, that's intentional.

In my defense, I was drinking the last of my Enjoy by 4:20 from Stone, it's pretty strong

I could probably get rich as a fashion designer. It appears all you have to do is combine random shit.

I kinda like the jacket?  Not for me, but I'm 43 and I don't have a cool chest tat to show off.  

The pants make it look like he's bow-legged or pigeon-toed. 

Either way, he now has enough money to look trashy.  Congrats, Devin!

It just made me think he was injured.  Looked like a sling that he'd pulled his arm out of temporarily.  My first thought was, "I thought Rashan had a bad shoulder, what happened to Devin?"

My sister-in-law like to wear slings for her baby so she can carry the thing around hands free.  This reminds me of that.  So not good imho.  But it's cool.  He can afford a real suit now.

The white t-shirt underneath made me think Michael Jordan was going to show up and give him a package of Hanes undershirts.

I think Devin should bring a suit against the guy who sold him that suit. It's hideous. I thought the strap thingy was a medical device supporting an injured shoulder. Not a good look for someone trying to get a team to draft him.

It looked awful but these young guys are always just trying to push the envelope and get that wow factor, so I guess he succeeded. 

I believe the suit was designed by a UM art student also, which is kind of cool.
