If you are under the age of thirty, chances are that any zoot suit or fashion dress suit you see will immediately be referred to as a pimp suit. I guess the flashyness of a bright color zoot suit or the shininess just makes you think that. Every pimp I ever saw in NYC was way more outrageously dressed than just a pimp suit. The few pimps I saw were dressed just like pimps are in the movies. They had on their zoot suit, tons of bling, outrageous looking hair style, crocodile shoes maybe and a fur coat on top. Even their car which was either a lincoln or cadillac was pimped out with zebra striped or leopard print fur as well. Just wearing a zoot suit doesn’t automatically make it a pimp suit. It’s what you do with the suit. To fully pimp out your zoot suit, it is important to wear matching everything. By matching everything I mean matching crocodile or alligator dress shoes, matching godfather dress hat and a matching satin or french cuff dress shirt with plenty of bling. Pimps and Pimp Suits are an urban slice of Americana. Also make sure you have your pimp cane like Snoop Dogg and a polish it constantly and a bling encrusted pimp cup that looks like it may cut your lip if you drink out of it. A jewel encrusted Chalice.
