Tyler, the Creator’s Style Is on Every Other Guy’s Mood Board

Good red carpet styling always tells a story. True personal style tells a consistent one. There’s no better proof of that than Tyler, the Creator. Whether, he’s walking the red carpet with Gwyneth Paltrow, sitting front row during Paris Fashion Week, headlining Coachella, or snapped by paparazzi, he always looks like he’s dressed from his own, real closet (and impeccably at that). Originally dismissed by detractors as a controversy-courting provocateur, the Los Angeles-born rapper has emerged as one of the most successful male musicians of his generation. Unless you count his cameo in Jackass Forever, he’ll make his Hollywood debut alongside Timothée Chalamet and Paltrow in Marty Supreme. His style has matured alongside his career: his clothing labels Golf Wang and Golf Le FLEUR* are respected hits, he’s collaborated with Louis Vuitton, and he has an ongoing relationship with Converse. His particular style is hard to duplicate, but easy to explain—something like ’80s East Coast hip-hop meets Wes Anderson (whom he’s previously cited as his favorite director), Tyler favors bright colors, cropped pants, preppy sweaters, and socks ...always socks. Take a look through this gallery and you’ll spot lots of recurring elements. Take a look outside of this gallery, and you’ll spot several other young men in Hollywood taking Tyler’s style cues.
