How do you figure? The two looks are nothing alike.

Prince's jacket is double-breasted, Bowie's is single-breasted. Prince's lapels are peaked, Bowie's are straight. Prince is wearing a white shirt/white straight tie, Bowie has on a white shirt/printed (or patterned) bow tie. Prince's pants legs are pegged, Bowie's are straight.

And the two suits aren't even remotely the same yellow.

Nice try, but fail.

Those are trivial details. What major label artist has EVER worn a bright yellow dress suit with a white shirt exclusively as the trademark look for an entire tour, before Bowie???

Nobody.

What was the sole major label artist to have EVER worn a bright yellow dress suit with a white shirt exclusively as the trademark look for an entire tour, after Bowie???

Answer, Prince.

WIN lands on fail and crushes it.

They may be details, but anyone who knows anything about clothing (or has eyes, for that matter) knows it's always all about the details. The suits in question are nothing alike.

Bowie's suit is not bright yellow, first of all. It is buttery yellow - hardly the canary yellow of Prince's.

And are you seriously going to suggest that anyone who wore a yellow suit after 1983 took his cue from Bowie?

Nice try...but you still fail. Learn something about clothing design, tailoring, and construction, and maybe - maybe - we'll talk.

Hmm... This is a hard question. I liked all of the Revolution outfits and all Parade outifs and all of the Come era outfits. I also like the sign o' the times outfits... Oh fuck it I like them all.
