Fun fact! the reason you associate colorful suits with being latino? The reason is him :)

He actively pushed the boundaries of how a male ranchera singer should look, behave and write.

Cantantes de ranchera usually use charro inspired outfits, but they were unchanged for decades until he started making music and innovating in the fashion industry :D just look at the comparisons. The Vicente Fernández picture is from around the same time as the picture next to it.

He didn't behave like the typical ranchera singer, which earned him quite a bit of following because ranchera singers are usually very "macho" while he was the entire opposite.
