Oh, marone. The Jonas Brothers are in their Nolita Dirtbag era. Hey, I ain't complaining, it's just funny to me that dudes who've been publicly famous since they were, like, 15 or whatever have only just now adopted the fashion sense of the dudes who haunt downtown NYC.

If you aren't a twenty-something creative director of your own talent agency/streetwear brand/record label/artisanal incense company, perhaps you aren't familiar with the phrase.

"Nolita Dirtbag" is a generalized term popularized by the Instagram account of the same name that refers to guys who stalk the Lower East Side in adidas Sambas, Carhartt double-knee pants, and a litany of rote clothing brands, all borderline identical in their semi-self-aware swaglessness.

Nolita Dirtbags wear a watered-down, stain-free iteration of the blue collar wardrobe, ironically adding cowboy hats, flared pants, and Western boots to taste. It's a pastiche of a genuine workwear lifestyle. It ain't problematic but it is, sorta, baby's-first-fashion-tier style.

Anyways, no, it's not actually important that the Jonas Brothers are standing around in their cropped jackets, pooled blue jeans, and Salomon sneakers. The real takeaway is that their adoption of the Nolita Dirtbag look is a sign that, well, we've culturally hit peak Nolita Dirtbag.

Like, if there's any better way to indicate that a trend has gone mass than seeing the freakin' Jo Bros adopt it, let me know.

The brothers even dine like New York's neo-hipster downtown crowd, even when they're on the opposite coast. Nick, Joe, and the other one were spotted flexing their dirtbag finery at Los Angeles eatery Little Dom's, where they dined on $23 plates of spaghetti and meatballs, accompanied by a $13 arugala salad for the table.

Hey, it ain't no Scarr's Pizza but for these tag-poppin' paisanos, that'll have to do.
