Few men are more stylish than the self-proclaimed “prettiest man on earth” – meaning that on matters of style, there’s a lot to learn from A$AP Rocky.
A$AP Rocky is pretty damn cool. Over the years, the man’s effortless swagger has become the subject of endless Instagram accounts, with legions of aspiring fashionistas claiming the Harlem-born rapper as the closest thing to God on earth.
The man’s got more style accolades than you count; he probably has a larger – and dare we say it, better – a collection of headscarves than Queen Elizabeth; and who can forget the famous, beautiful locks?
There are so many style lessons to learn from him – but in the interest of time (and money), we detail the top seven style lessons to learn from A$AP Rocky:
1. There are some suit rules, but there’s nothing wrong with adding your own
For the traditional fans of the suit, there’s no greater sin than deviating from the well-established set of rules. But, for the world’s prettiest man, style rules are meant to be written. From shorts to hoodies, bright colours to untucked shirts, Rocky’s ability to turn heads in a suit knows no limits.
Word of caution: to rewrite the rules, you’ll need a dash of Rocky’s elegance and a whole lot ( A LOT) of confidence, too.
2. Invest in a statement jacket/coat
Look, a statement jacket can get you far. For those looking to impress, opt for a brightly coloured puffer. Clearly, it works.
3. When in doubt, all black will always work
As much he may like his bright colours and ensembles, A$AP Rocky still trusts an all-black outfit. From his look-book, it seems all black has become a go-to trusted dress code for A$AP Rocky, and it’s easy to understand why: All black never fails.
It gives you a blank canvas to highlight some of the more eccentric parts of your outfit. With an all-black ensemble, you’ll have the opportunity to put on that orange coloured jacket you’ve always wanted to try or that piece of jewellery you could never match with anything.
4. Master your fit
A$AP Rocky’s fashion icon status proves this: it’s not necessarily the clothes you wear, but how you wear them. A$AP Rocky knows it’s all about the fit, and he’s got it nailed down.
When it comes to picking the right clothes, and the right fit, it’s all about dressing for your body shape. When it comes to getting the right fit for your body type, you should take your cue from A$AP Rocky.
5. When it comes to style, we’re all going back to the 1990s
From the current fashion trends, it seems we’re all going back to the 90s. Bomber jackets, light-washed jeans, oversized t-shirts and chunky boots are all making a return.
It seems as though A$AP Rocky, ever since making his name as a rapper, has always been living halfway in the current times and halfway in the 90s. By all accounts, he has his 90s look nailed down – and you should too.
6. Invest in some floral shirts
One thing above all else is clear about A$AP Rocky: the man loves his floral shirts; and for good reason too – they suit every (or most occasions). Whether it’s lunch with your family, a friend’s birthday dinner or a night out, the versatility of the floral shirt will see you through.
7. Finally, when it comes to your style, have confidence in yourself
If there’s anything to learn from A$AP Rocky, it’s about not giving a “f**k” about what other people think about your fashion and style choices. We’re all different, and ASAP Rocky proves that if you have confidence in your self, you’ll be able to buck the trend whilst looking ridiculously stylish.
