He's never been one to shy away from throwing a few insults, so John Lydon shouldn't be too offended if gets a few back about his style.
The Sex Pistols' former frontman was once known for his carefully constructed public image, with a little help from Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood, but it seems his impressive sartorial days are over.
On Friday, Mr Johnny Rotten paid a visit to a supermarket in Los Angeles, wearing some rather clown-like striped dungarees over a salmon pink polo shirt.

John was paying a visit to Ralph's grocery store to pick up some shopping, and was seen loading up his yellow Volvo with his haul.
The punk legend lives in LA with his wife Nora Forster a publishing heiress from Germany who he has been married to for 27 years, ever since the days of The Sex Pistols.
He'll soon be heading back to the UK this October to launch his new autobiography Anger Is An Energy: My Life Uncensored.

The candid live interview will take place on stage at Manchester's Albert Hall with DJ and writer Dave Haslam.
The lead singer will discuss his turbulent life from when he joined The Sex Pistols, aged 17, after being asked by SEX shop owner Malcolm McLaren to join the band he was putting together.
The punk group - Steve Jones, Sid Vicious, Johnny Rotten and Paul Cook.-enjoyed two years of success whch quickly came to an end after Sid murdered girlfriend Nancy Spungen, during their US tour in 1978.

After breaking from the band, John went on to form Public Image Ltd. (PiL) which lasted for 14 years and enjoyed some success with bands like Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Massive Attack citing them as a musical influence to their own work.
Fans of The Sex Pistols will be sad to hear there won't be any reunion coming soon, as original member Glen Matlock says they 'don't have anything planned'.
The former bassist - who left the group in 1977 - told the Mirror: 'I haven't seen Jon for five years and I'm quite happy about that. I've had no cause to speak to him.
'We don't have anything planned. There is nothing I know of in the offing and I'm really not that fussed about it. I have no idea if we will reform but who knows the secret of black magic box. I wouldn't write new Sex Pistols material, we're fine with the old stuff.'
