These Legends Can’t Wait Till It Gets Colder So They Can Really Start Dressin’

HBO

“Can’t wait till it gets colder so I can really start dressin’.”

You may have seen a meme making the rounds on Twitter this week. It juxtaposes a picture (sometimes photoshopped) of someone wearing a silly outfit with a phrase like “Can’t wait for winter so I can really start dressing” or “Can’t wait till it gets colder so I can really start dressin’.” It’s not hard to guess why it’s caught on. It’s an excuse to share silly pictures of questionable fashion choices, oversized coats, and animals clopping around in human clothes. What better way to pass the time during a post-holiday daze than laughing at silly photos of winter clothing instead of dreading the end of summer?

Case in point, one of the earlier jokes going around was this slightly altered picture of Drake from his “Views” album promotion.

The “big coat” references were a common theme, like Matt Ufford’s photoshop of Tom Brady’s ridiculous coat:

Or Steve Harvey’s Times Square outfit, which was already a meme of its own:

Or the IKEA Monkey:

TV shows were a source of inspiration for many of the jokes, like this The Office reference:

Other shows and movies were plumbed for jokes:

Although it seems odd to talk about winter weather when it isn’t even Halloween yet…

Speaking of Halloween, some people incorporated a costume into their new winter wardrobe:

Many of the tweets simply highlighted some unique fashion choices:

But, as is the case with many memes, the spotlight was ultimately stolen by animals wearing human clothes:
