There’s something about Miami, the badly-dressed epicenter of the Northern Hemisphere, that seems to affect even the most sensible of men. Take Glenn O’Brien, the weathered and usually well-put together “Style Guy” of GQ fame.
In town this week for the round of Art Basel shindigs, O’Brien apparently left his dress sense in his other pants. At one high-profile hoedown, as pictured here (with his lovely wife), he turned up in what appeared to be a pair of pajama bottoms and a polyblend short-sleeved button down no doubt lifted off some unsuspecting busboy. Unless you happen to be Julian Schnabel, that’s a look best left on the shelf.
On the plus side, O’Brien has shaved off the scraggly the grey beard that made him look a bit like Father Time on a three-day bender. But we have to ask—would you take style advice from a fellow dressed like this?
