Say what you will about his tirades and life choices, but there’s a reason why Kanye is such a tastemaker.
Dude’s got some style savvy.
His past two Yeezy collections have been brilliant and “season 3” is no different.
Did I just call Yeezy’s baggy sweatshirts and borderline hobo-chic aesthetic BRILLIANT??
I did.
And here’s why: It’s simple. He has a neutral color palette with lots of monochromatic combinations. Putting things together is a no brainer. There’s no fuss. It’s classic American sportswear with a high fashion undertone without coming off as pretentious or overly stylized.
You’re going to beg to differ with me about that pretentious point when you see the price tags for torn up ribbed sweaters and basic hoodies.
But what I mean is that you can essentially pull these looks off without actually shelling out the dough. Update your color palate, try some monochromatic looks, and you’ll look like you just walked off the runway… but without dealing with the insane rules Kanye imposes on his models.
Go for camel, army green, grey, beige.
Go for slouchy fit tops.
Go for monochromatic.
