Guess who’s taken a leaf out of Molly Meldrum’s fashion playbook?

Melbourne music guru Molly Meldrum appeared in today’s Herald Sun newspaper wearing a distinctive black-and-camo T-shirt. Turns out he wasn’t the only one.

Eagle-eyed readers noticed the bizarre coincidence.

FASHION-conscious Herald Sun readers noticed a bizarre coincidence when they flicked to page 10 and 11 of today’s paper.

Page 11 features music legend Molly Meldrum in a distinctive black T-shirt with camouflage-print pocket and camo hem.

Opposite on page 10 are two action snaps of a fella being nabbed — after allegedly crashing a stolen car then fleeing straight into a group of Victoria’s finest — in a near-identical T-shirt.

Now any clothing label would normally leap at the opportunity to have three photos of a garment splashed across two pages of Australia’s biggest-selling daily newspaper.

So let’s hope they’re copping it sweet after our unintentional “Who wore it best?” fashion spread.

As Caroline from Melbourne, who spotted the strange coincidence, points out: “The T-shirt obviously appeals to all types of characters!”

If other fashionistas want to emulate this “arresting” street look, go nab yourself ASOS’s “super longline muscle T-shirt with camo curved hem extender and printed pocket”.

At $19, it’s a steal.
