Jon dresses "douchey"?

Remember when Jon Gosselin dressed like a dad? Now he wears a whole lot of Ed Hardy. And you know what Ed Hardy is synonymous with? Yup, d-bags. Why has Jon Gosselin's style become so immature over the past months?

We suspect Jon is adjusting his style to his new lifestyle. Yes, he's still the father to 8 children, but he's also a single man and is going to have a lot of time away from the kids now. In a sense, he's able to revert back to a kid himself in some ways.

Jon recently got his ear pierced and has been frequently seen donning Ed Hardy apparel and backwards hats. According to the marketing director for Ed Hardy, the company's demographic is 16-30. But we see mostly teens and boys in their early 20s rocking Ed Hardy. Jon Gosselin is 32.

Allegedly, Christian Audigier, the inventor of Ed Hardy, sent the Gosselins a bunch of free stuff for the entire family. Luckily, Jon has been the only one to wear the clothing. Please, please don't dress the 8 little kids in Ed Hardy! Audigier says he's going to be sending Jon more Ed Hardy clothes in the future.

Ed Hardy clothes are generally tattoo-inspired, covered in rhinestones, tigers, skulls, and other crazy things. It's not exactly dad-wear and most people would describe Ed Hardy clothing as "douchey" Their marketing director says, "People who wear our clothes are edgy and fashion-forward... They're in tune with pop culture and they like to take risks." We have a feeling Jon Gosselin will be taking a lot of risks in the near future. Fashion and otherwise.
