Chris Pine’s Disastrous ‘Poolman’ Fashion Is Actually Making Him Hotter
Friends, I might have a problem. Give me your thoughts on this one: Is it just me, or is Chris Pine slowly ascending to a plane of hotness that most of us cannot even fathom?
Every time I see a photo of this man, his beard has gotten bushier, his shorts have gotten shorter, and his sartorial sensibilities have grown more outlandish. While most celebrities keep their street style in a fashionable safe zone, Pine likes to leave the gym in rainbow cardigans, PBS tank tops, and woven loafers. Now, he’s given us Poolman—his directorial debut in which he also stars as a man who dresses like he found all of his clothes abandoned on some dock while random couples skinny-dip. Maybe it’s the recovering Floridian-turned-Brooklynite in me, but I swear I’ve never seen an aesthetic so appealing in my life.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned during my thirty-something years on Earth and my decade as an entertainment reporter, it’s that being fashionable has little to do with taste and everything to do with confidence. The line between fashion monster and fashion roadkill is often as simple as how high a person is able to hold their head while they strut.
