Style Tips You Can Learn From Jean Ralphio of "Parks and Recreation"

How do you make a timeless garment relevant and exciting again? Try it out in a color no one's expecting. Jean-Ralphio does that here, shocking and titillating Ben Wyatt with a kelly green leather jacket that was probably a Valentino or Balmain sample that never made it to production.

In case you weren't sure if Jean-Ralphio likes stripes, just take a look at his pattern-piling. It's a thin line between pulling this off and looking like an insane person, so take note on how the stripes aren't too overstimulating or clashing.

His outfits may change from day-to-day, but Jean-Ralphio's 'do is as consistent as his quest for scrilla and 'gina. His haircut says everything you need to know about him before he even opens his mouth: wild man.

A$AP Mob knows this, Ron Jeremy did it, and Run-DMC executed it flawlessly—if you're gonna look ridiculous on your own, match up with crew members and all of a sudden you have a squad that dresses ill. Barnum wouldn't have done it without Bailey, and so it is with Jean-Ralphio and his business-partner/swagged-out-homie-for-life Tom Haverford.

If you're ever having one of those mornings where you absolutely cannot figure out what to wear, Jean-Ralphio has the perfect combo that simply can't fail. Just throw on a leather bomber or jacket over a striped shirt, and you're good to go. Out of respect for those who are no longer with us, he keeps accessories to a minimum and only rocks a Li'l Sebastian armband in memoriam of the fallen hero.

You've seen varsity jackets with contrast texture sleeves before, but never have you seen one this well-done. The entire piece only incorporates grey, white, and black, but the quilted sleeves are a move that only Pawnee's swaggiest superstars could pull off.

Self-explanatory.

This is a seasonal staple that's essential for when the weather warms up. The T-shirt, that is. Being flush with cash is a trend you can aspire to at all times of the year. Under a hoodie and leather jacket, the bright yellow stripes break up the color-blocking nicely.

And true to his personality, the shades of blue and khaki are unexpected and seemingly come out of nowhere. Show up at a day drinking event with this on and you'll undoubtedly stunt on dudes in their too-tight tanks and fratty T-shirts.

On his own, Jean-Ralphio's gear might not look like he's at his most stylish. But put him next to Ron Swanson, who's swaddled in shades of brown and beige, and all of a sudden JR's kit is mind-blowingly vibrant and luscious.
