Is This Not THE Most Adorable Thing Ever?

[elrhiarhodan]

Matt and Simon share a wardrobe... Apparently not. As pointed out in comments by people with better color perception, Matt's shirt has a black strip in it, Simon's does not.

I am, apparently a blind idiot. Sorry.



And, apparently, an unholy love of right-angled patterned shirts (a/k/a plaid)

:O :D That is so incredibly adorable!!!

and re: the plaids. LOL. Though I'm guilty of that too...

[marieincolour.livejournal.com]

Are they the same shirts? Because they don't look similar. *is confused* Wardrobe sharing is adorable, though.

[maiac.livejournal.com]

Awwwwwww!

They are adorable together no matter what they're wearing. And when they're with their kids, the adorableness goes off the chart.

(But I still can't get behind wearing a checked shirt with a jacket and tie.)

[elrhiarhodan]

Okay - to me, the plaid shirt Matt was wearing for the TV Guide photoshoot looks identical to the shirt Simon's wearing at for TNH premier in LA

[elrhiarhodan]

Isn't it????

[elrhiarhodan]

They are, but these men wear way, WAY too much plaid. I have a whole folder of Matty in a variety of truly hideous plaid shirts.

[marieincolour.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's just my screen, or I'm confused here, but the top one has a black stripe between the blue ones, and the bottom one is just blue?

...am I ruining this? Because I'll shut up if I am, I swear.

[kanarek13]

It is beyond adorable ♥

[elrhiarhodan]

I think it's your screen - both shirts are blue and white. I've seen Matty in that shirt in other photos, but I just don't have that those pics handy.

[elrhiarhodan]

I know, right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

Hmmm doesn't look the same shirt to me. Matt's is blue and black on white. Simon is only blue on white.

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

You're right, I see the same thing as you. (Sorry Elr!)

Matt's shirt: http://mattbomerfan.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=745

[elrhiarhodan]

Hmm - looking at these pics (which I have somewhere), it all looks blue and white to me. See no black anywhere.

Must be the monitors.

[elrhiarhodan]

As I commented above - on my monitors, the shirt in the MBF site is blue and white, no black anywhere.

I've also looked on my iPad, which has much better color fidelity, and the shirt is all blue.

They share a wardrobe.

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry but no. There's definitely an alternance of black and blue strips on Matt's shirt.

And it's not the kind of shirt you were under a suit...
They're still adorable you know. Just not sharing the shirt (that may not even be Matt's since it was a photoshoot...) ;-)

[elrhiarhodan]

Okay - now I see it.

DAMN YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

Sorry!! :-/
And no you're not an idiot! *hugs*

[embroiderama]

They may not share a wardrobe, but they sure do share a love of plaid. And they're totally adorable. ♥

[marieincolour.livejournal.com]

Is it okay that I'm just going to pretend I didn't say anything and that they DO indeed share clothes?

[sapphire2309]

re: the update - ahh, it was pretty similar, and looked identical to my sleep deprived brain, so if you're a blind idiot, I am too. You have company!

[anodyneer]

Though they aren't the same shirts, they DO share a wardrobe. There have been several instances of it pointed out before, whether t-shirts or dress shirts or ties.

And since you mentioned plaid...

Plaid shirt on Simon

Same plaid shirt on Matty

Also this...last sweater doesn't look the same, but the rest is right.

I've seen other ones, too - just can't find them now. I've got all week off from work thanks to the doctor, so maybe they'll show up. :)

[elrhiarhodan]

Yes, this does make me feel like less of a moron, thank you!

[elrhiarhodan]

Yes. Totally adorable.

[maiac.livejournal.com]

I'm not a fan of plaid or checks.

(I can't imagine Neal Caffrey wearing that maroon suit jacket Matt's wearing in the second photo, can you? It looks too much like an airplane attendant's uniform.)

[elrhiarhodan]

I agree! And as much as I adore Matt, his love of plaid is kind of a turnoff.

And I do agree about the burgundy suit - I can't help but remember Diana the Docent. And ever flight attendant.

[joy2190.livejournal.com]

I immediately thought of that sweater as every gay man I know has one, I'm starting to think its a uniform!

[maiac.livejournal.com]

Those shirts aren't what I think of as plaid; they're gingham. Which I associate with kitchen curtains and Holly Hobby dolls, not with grown-up real people.

A photo of Matt wearing plaid wouldn't distress me at all if the plaid were a kilt. Quite the reverse.

[pooh-collector.livejournal.com]

Oh adorable boys!

Did you notice that they have the same smile in the TNH premier photo?

[elrhiarhodan]

True, true...maybe like this?

[elrhiarhodan]

Sweater? What sweater?

[elrhiarhodan]

Yes, that they do.

So damn sweet.

[maiac.livejournal.com]

Oh, without the silly hat.

I was thinking more of the formal kilt, as exemplified by David Tennant here.

[joy2190.livejournal.com]

The one in anodyneer's third pic!

PS As a Scot I would love to see any of the WC cast in a kilt.

[sinfulslasher]

Silly Elr is silly.

But, as others have pointed out already, Matty and Simon do share their wardrobe. I've seen pics floating around the interwebz. It's the cutest thing ever. *draws hearts around them*

[anodyneer]

You're definitely not a moron. But you're welcome anyway. :)

And since I can't leave well enough alone, here are photos of Matt and Simon both wearing the original shirt in question. Blue and white gingham, no black stripe...

On Matt...

...and on Simon at the premiere.

So there.

(Posting links instead of embedding because I've been on the 'net for so long that I still can't steal bandwidth. Back in the olden days, this was a sin.)

[elrhiarhodan]

HUGS YOU TIGHT...

Will update the original post with the pic of Matty.

You are wonderful, my friend.

[anodyneer]

*hugs you back*

I knew I'd seen Matty wearing it somewhere. And since the pic I linked is from his January 2013 appearance on Live with Kelly and Michael, there is even video evidence! :)

Fwiw, they also have this same shirt (or a reasonable facsimile) in black and white gingham.

There's also this t-shirt (on Matty and on Simon), which could just be a case of them each having the same t-shirt...but not in my brain. And mostly, this was just an excuse to post this photo of Matt.

[elrhiarhodan]

No - that is the same shirt. Absolutely the same shirt. And it's so totally adorbs, I don't even have the words for it.

[maiac.livejournal.com]

I immediately thought of Diana in a kilt. :-)

And then Mozzie. O_o

[ladyrose42.livejournal.com]

Love this conversation. The picture of Matt carrying about a million, OK 5, shirts, before GMA appearance amazed. Of course I've known to "share" some of my husband's clothes.

[joy2190.livejournal.com]

Mozzie could definitely rock a kilt!

[maiac.livejournal.com]

Now I really, really want someone with fabulous PhotoShop skills to adapt a White Collar cast photo so they're all wearing kilts.

[joy2190.livejournal.com]

You should ask kanarek13, she is great at that sort of thing!

[anodyneer]

I think it's the same one, too - so it's unanimous. :P

Here's a new link to the pic of Simon at the premiere. The one I posted before is from a wonderful site that is apparently waaaay too aggressive about outside links (*cough* even when they're just text links and not bandwidth theft *cough* ), so it stopped working. Couldn't edit the comment because there was a reply. >_>

So I dropped the pic into my Imgur. Because that shot of them...yeah, it can live there, happily ever after (and linkable). <3
