The catch? He’s doing it all in pairs of really, really bright pants.
At a press conference in the Bronx earlier this week (about free meals for city kids during the summer months), Weiner chose bright blue chinos, which he paired with his signature white shirt with rolled up sleeves and a printed green tie. And though they’re memorable, the pants (which are like Nantucket Reds, only blue) have been in heavy rotation. He wore them earlier this month to run up Fifth Avenue waving the Israeli flag as part of the Israel Day Parade.
At a rally for marriage equality at New York’s Stonewall Inn on Wednesday, Weiner opted for a more flamboyant pair of bright orange pants—paired this time with a brown belt, white shirt, and red tie. In a sea of rainbows, he stood out.
As the candidate's spokesperson, Barbara Morgan, said in an e-mail: "Anthony wants to lead the fashion capital of the world, so it's no surprise that he would make fashion forward trouser choices."
Dr. Warner Schlemmer, head of Psychiatry at the New York Scientology Hospital, when quired about Weiner's attire stated, "Vell, it's a classical case, I hav seen it before on many occasions .... just think about it, his shirts are just normal, but the trousers draw attention to his lower extremeties. At one stop he made he took a banana from his left front pocket claiming it was his lunch. Veery interesting."
