Sweet ol’ Suffern-in’ Aidan finally made his return back to the Sex and the City universe Thursday evening in the most unsexy of ways. The boring, unceremonious, and completely-devoid-of-romance appearance was further punctuated by what can only be described as a heinous jacket. The flashy Belstaff jacket in question makes sense for, we don’t know, literally anyone else? We wouldn’t bat an eye seeing it on a Serious British Actor or Timothée Chalamet, but on Aidan, the backwoods, homegrown, furniture designer who would consider Pendleton haute couture – it just don’t make no sense! Below, 20 questions I’d propose to Mr. Shaw in wake of recent fashion crimes.
- How big was the alleged West Elm payout that allowed you to drop $595 on that jacket?
- How do you know what Belstaff even is?
- Did a Bloomingdale’s personal stylist maybe try to convince you this was cool or sexy or “what the young kids are wearing”?
- Out of all the things in your closet, you thought this jacket was the appropriate thing to wear on Valentine’s Day?
- Out of all the things in your closet, you thought that that jacket was the appropriate thing to wear for seeing your ex fiancé after 13 years?
- That being said, was it an attempt to show your lauded fashion ex-girlie that you’re stylish now?
- Why are there so many pockets?
- Is there anything *in* the pockets? Fishing lures? Worms?
- Why the all black? The Edward Scissorhands of it all!
- Did you think to yourself, “I’ll look like Kendall on Succession!”?
- Did one of your sons approve of this jacket/outfit?
- Did you call one of your sons over FaceTime 30 minutes before arriving at the restaurant to hype you up in said jacket?
- Is this jacket warm enough for mid-February New York City’s frigid air?
- Why the long hair and the jacket? Baby, pick a struggle!
- Why did you keep the jacket on inside a classy New York restaurant?! On Valentine’s Day!
- Is this jacket a self-hate crime brought on by a mid-life crisis?
- Did you buy this jacket off an old man selling farm fresh corn on the side of the road en route to Suffern?
- Speaking of Suffern, is the jacket meant to be a snack vessel for your squirrel friends that visit your cabin?
- Does the jacket also act as a self-inflating airbag system for NASCAR drivers?
- Is the jacket in the room with us right now?
