Without the benefit of context, but with the benefit of a degree of fashion knowledge, I'll posit that this photo was taken in the DRC, and that these are Congolese sapeurs, who occupy a unique and wonderful niche in the style world -- see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Sape (La Sape being the movement of sapeurs and sapeuses, their female counterparts), as well as https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/gallery/2020/aug/27/congolese-dandies-meet-the-stylish-men-and-women-of-brazzaville-in-pictures , which has an excellent photo gallery showing examples of La Sape style.

That green suit is so sharp he could shave with it.
He's the one with the most outlandish colors and is the one pulling it off the best. That dude is cool.
Its eye-catching, but I'm really loving some of the others' accessories. Each one has a different élan. Their different ages also help make the style timeless.
He's in another picture that made the rounds. I think burgundy suit in that one, he's strutting in front of a pricey car parked on a rough dirt road.

Woman behind them be like "bitch get out the way I'm trying to balance my Halloween candy on my head."
The absolute bad ass in green.
Drip drop.
I wish I had the confidence to pull that off
Wear something crazy and you’ll develop the confidence. It’s like when you first rode a bike, you weren’t confident at first. As you got used to it you gained confidence. Same with clothes like these. You’ll realize most people don’t care what you’re wearing, there will be a few haters and a few admirers but who cares. Just be yourself.
Wear what makes you feel good.
Getting your hair dyed a non-natural and highly visible color will also do this.

The beautiful kaleidoscope of color is only usurped by audacity to wear a tan suit!
