5 Style Lessons Courtesy of Kanye West

5 Style Lessons Courtesy of Kanye West

Here on The City, we are all about cultivating personal style, luckily, we can look to some of our favorite celebrities for a few style lessons.

Kanye West with all his shenanigans and fits isn’t just charismatic and innovative when it comes to his music career but also to his style.

I think I told you this but back in the day, I mean way back in the day, I used to loooove me some Kanye. I liked that he wasn’t afraid to dress differently than the other rappers. I liked that he wasn’t trying to be ‘hard’ either. I mean he walked around with a bookbag and that stuffed Dropout bear for the longest. Remember that?

There is something to be said for a man who is able to reinvent himself many times over. And so, I think that there are five style lessons that we can learn from Kanye West.

1. Be Ahead Of The Curve
Just about everything that Kanye does is ahead of the curve. That bookbag when he was calling himself ‘The Louis Vuitton Don?’ He made preppy and jeans that actually fit appealing to men–why before Lil Wayne slid into those jeggings. Even those annoying 3D looking glasses that everyone had to have after seeing them on ‘Ye. Just about everything he does is innovative. He isn’t always so quick to follow the trends but start them.

2. Accessorize In Unexpected Ways

It wasn’t just that backpack that was so unexpected but most of Kanye’s accessories we never saw coming. Him wearing women’s necklaces, that heart brooch that surfaced around the time of 808s & Heartbreak. What can you use to spruce up your outfit that you haven’t already?

3. Try On Different Personas

Fashion is supposed to be fun while you tell the world who you feel like being today. Not in a schizo/multiple personality way but what is your mood like? How will you reflect that with your clothing? Kanye sure doesn’t hesitate to. I wonder what he mood was he put in that leather skort. Or Celine blouse.

4. If You’re Going To Wear A Suit, Wear A Suit

This can apply to everyday life, too. If you are going to something, you might as well go all out. Don’t half-step it. You have to admire a man who would not only wear a lavender suit, but cream gloves with it. How do you like the fur stole in the top right? Snazzy, huh?

5. It’s Just Hair

Women tend to get so caught up in their hair, they forget it’s just that. Hair. It will grow back. So enjoy it, have fun with it. Use it as another avenue to express yourself, within reason depending on your career. Raise your hand if you’re glad to see that Kanye is over that Theo Huxtable mullet he was rocking a few years back?

Who else admires a man who likes to think outside the box when it comes to his style? No matter how weird he might look, at least he’s always original.

Hey! I’d love it if you came out to help celebrate this blog’s two-year anniversary. Comment here.
