With his shrunken Prada blazers and understated cashmere sets, Larry David is a stylish man. He’s been hailed as a “normcore” icon, he’s a GQ cover star, and clothes play a big part in Curb Your Enthusiasm, with David taking great care to preserve his suede jackets and dainty sweaters. It’s schlub-style, but it’s expensive schlub-style. The dorky dad aesthetic of David’s look has swung around again as indie kids embrace clunky white sneakers and dweeby khaki.
But I’ve been binge-watching old Curb Your Enthusiasm episodes for the past month or so and I’ve got to say, I can’t believe we’re wasting so many words on David’s boring ’90s Gap schtick when Susie Greene is right there.
Greene, played by Susie Essman, is the expletive-loving wife of Jeff Greene, David’s manager on the show. You can often find her screaming, “You sicko, perverted, fucko,” at various members of the show and threatening to kill Larry David with her own two hands. Obviously, she’s a woman after my own heart, dare I say all of our hearts? But her unbelievably tacky, bedazzled to death, bolero-filled wardrobe, is a character on the show itself.
Where do you even get an off the shoulder, jewel-studded San Jose Sharks jersey? Why does Susie even own a San Jose Sharks jersey?
