Jerry Seinfeld Models for Clothing Brand Kith, Sparks Funny Reactions and Memes

Remember the days when people used to dress their age? All the young whippersnappers chased trends and created all the cool subcultural looks we still reference now, and everybody aging and past it was resigned to a uniform of muumuus or suspenders for the rest of their natural life.

This has definitely changed over the years. Although it is a good thing that many feel freer to wear what they want regardless of their last birthday, this can sometimes cause controversy — especially if you happen to be extremely famous.

Jerry Seinfeld is not the first celebrity that springs to mind when it comes to moonlighting as a fashion model, yet that is exactly what he did recently for edgy clothing brand Kith. The nearly seventy year old repped outfits that wouldn't look out of place on somebody several decades younger.

Reportedly doing the modeling without getting paid, the shoot has been the textbook definition of free publicity. The internet was quick to make jokes and unfavorable comparisons to what his ensembles reminded them of, but some thought he looked surprisingly good. You may only be as old as you feel, but others are never going to hesitate to say that you should act your age.
