Pablo's Sweaters...


Make me laugh every time. He's standing there in a sweater with a big anchor on it - Ralph Lauren circa 1988 - menacing someone's life. It's chilling but it amuses the Hell out of me too.

Ha, I know, I loved that. The one with the knot was awesome too.

reply

I wonder if he really did dress like that. He's like the most murderous dork the world has ever known.

reply

I think he really did. The show was meticulous in terms of casting and art direction: they really captured the look. Yes, he dressed that way because he thought it was fashionable and chic.

reply

He's like most dirt poor people who become crazy rich....they have money but no style/fashion sense. See also every rapper and pro-athlete.

It seemed the show went to some lengths to put people in the right clothes. You can see that a little bit in the picture where Murphy posed with Pablo's body with the two other guys- they show the actors' photo and then show the real people. The clothes were the same.

reply

Yeah, TaTa's clothes were perfect too.

I would wear it 😂 Comfy at least! This is right up there with Anton Chigurh's haircut. https://nypdecider.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/narcos-201-pablo.gif

I had the same reaction when I saw Raekwon from Wu-Tang Clan wearing a Snoopy sweatshirt in a magazine article. It's really not fair, because if you saw some big menacing guy in the street wearing such a dorky sweatshirt you might laugh. And laughing at him might get you killed, but come on, the man has a big cartoon dog across his chest.

I found that pretty funny too :) Like his mum picks out his sweaters or something.

Hahaha right ! I loved the attention to detail.

He apparently dressed like that for real.......Lol

reply

Yes his sweaters were pure early 90's gold. I especially like his green one that says 'Golf' with a picture of a golf club head.

reply

They were all very faux preppy. Just because you have a golf sweater doesn't mean you play golf. In fact, a real golfer would never wear that. Pink pants maybe, but not that.
