An old lady and a young man pass each other in the street, wearing exactly the same pale blue, beige and dark blue checked coat. The old lady is pointing to the young man and grinning.
That's white and gold.

Did someone follow the guy around with a camera?
All this photo would take is either a friend hanging back and snapping a pic with their phone, or a random person walking behind who thought it was funny taking a photo, the coats are noticeable enough that someone could have seen it coming far enough ahead of time to get their phone ready for the photo
It's a third person, wearing an identical coat
To be fair it's pretty quick to just pull out your phone when you see something like this. I double tap my power button and the camera's open by the time I pulled it out my pocket.
Is there anybody not carrying a camera all the time now?

Hipster affirmation
I think that's what bothers me. From the picture, you can tell the lady is wearing an outfit. The gloves, the hat, the boots, the scarf; they are all pulled together. From the back, it looks like the guy's coat is not as striking and coordinated. Maybe it's just the orange/cream shoes, blue socks, and khaki pants rolled up, maybe it's because the picture is from the back, but it looks like he's wearing a bathrobe while she's wearing a coat.
The points you made about his outfit were all things I noticed as a mark of style. Basically I took those indicators as a sign that he can indeed pull off wearing this coat.
I think the lady was targeted for a prank. They may know the lady likes to wear the coat and bought exactly the same one then arranged for them to meet on the street.
