Give the two men contrasting roles: the person figuring things out and the friend who looks as though they already have a plan.
The casual striped polo and sneakers on the left contrast with the fitted shirt, sunglasses, and dress shoes on the right. That visible difference can stand for preparation, confidence, or two approaches to the same outing.
Label the people rather than describing the whole scene. A pair such as “New hire” and “Work friend” lets the walk explain who is showing whom around.
In the 2011 film Crazy, Stupid, Love, Ryan Gosling’s character helps Steve Carell’s character change his look after a separation. That makeover premise gives context to the contrasting clothes in this image. [1]
Put one short label over each torso, below the faces. Leave the shoes visible if your joke depends on the difference in their outfits.
The pairing can be affectionate: an experienced friend helps a newcomer through an unfamiliar situation. It can also compare your careful plan with your actual level of preparation.
