It’s Cinco de Mayo, Avocado, The day when we celebrate a really obscure victory the Mexican army had over the French!  Today, we are all Avocados from Mexico, like they say in that Super Bowl ad.

I’m going to use this opportunity to post pictures of the finest sartorial choice known to man: luchadors in suits. While knee-breeches and fancy haberdashery have gone the way of the dodo, pairing a mask with a tie never goes out of style.

Even if you’re a disciple of the death god like Mil Muertes, a well fitting suit can set you apart when you’re out on the town. You can look like a million dollars by pairing your devilish gimp mask with a purple tie.  Throw on a matching vest to look urbane and sophisticated.

And ladies, there’s nothing that says you can’t pair a Lucha mask with the ever reliable black dress. Just ask Sexy Star! Tres chic!  This is a winning combination for people who want to be seen!

This photo was taken at the Latin Grammy Awards. I love that the caption at this link has to identify Sexy Star as the one on the left. They are both sexy stars, after all!

 

Thinking of dressing to impress?  No worries. Even a rudo like The Blue Demon can dress to impress when he pairs a crisp jacket with a red power tie and matching pocket square.  It says, “The buck stops here and I look great doing it.”  And are those French cuffs I see?  Leave some style for the rest of us, you sly devil!

Bu, El Santo, you say, luchadores are natural athletes! You should know, after all, since you regularly elevate your heart rate fighting Frankensteins and vampire women.  Won’t a suit hinder you if, in the middle of your neverending battle with evil, you have the sudden urge to hit the gym?  Don’t tell that to Sin Cara, who’s paired a lovely charcoal jacket with a lavender shirt.  Keep that top button unbuttoned for that rakish look!  It shouldn’t be a sin to look this good while getting your reps!
