2025 style confused me. Everyone dressed like background characters in everyone else’s film but their own, few had taste, and even fewer made it look natural. This is about men who dressed with intention and made it look disturbingly easy. In the end, ease will always be the most convincing accessory a man can wear.
Pedro Pascal
That man is unfair. Textures, colors, proportions, he’s got it all intact. One day he’s a walking power suit in sharp tailoring that makes you question laid-back life, the next he’s a baggy chaos in oversized coats that make you forget ties exist. Then a mashup of both and suddenly your eyeballs are glued. Pedro Pascal, you’re exhausting.
Colman Domingo
Let’s face it. Good can be boring. Whenever I see yet another (beautiful) painfully plain suit on a red carpet, I think of what Domingo would do to it. Rhinestones in the size of my dining table? A draped piece cinching the waist? Or maybe a mix of the loudest patterns the human brain can think of, topped with a floor-grazing cape. Whatever the twist may be, bet your most-worn white shirt it’ll be interesting.
André 3000
Now that’s what real influence looks like. Whatever he throws on carries Southern roots, dry humour, and a side of occasional social commentary, all in one. We’ve basically seen it all, checks, stripes, neons, fringes, wigs, hats, please don’t ever forget that the man wore a literal grand piano as his backpack to the Met Gala.
A$AP Rocky
Talk about mix-ups, I think Rocky’s closet is the one that has it all. It’s preppy, it’s hip-hop, it’s luxury, it’s streetwear, it’s even pink. Every time I see him, I remember how effortlessly he murdered toxic masculinity with… well, fabric. Men started looking fun again, skirts over pants, bags in hand, silk around and all. No debate, “fashion killa” fits.
Wisdom Kaye
I always thought Kaye and Rocky would be instant friends, imagine the photos. He too owns that gender-fluid, effortless mix of fashion. I can’t imagine him being intimidated by fabrics, colors or silhouettes. He’s made me love pieces I swore I hated, and let me tell you, when I hate fashion, I hate hard. He somehow did it harder.
Justin Bieber
I can’t really say that his style has changed over the past few years, but if I’ve learned one thing, it’s that whenever a new paparazzi photo gets taken, a new Pinterest moodboard comes to life. Bieber has mastered his sense of fashion, that kind of fun, kind of polite streetwear. That man’s consistent. He still sticks to his idea of fashion, and maybe that’s exactly the point.
Jeremy Allen White
White is the guy who makes simple look ridiculously good. Basically, he’s that stereotypical “boring dresser” who somehow gets it completely right. Loafers look as good as sneakers, pleated bottoms look as good as sweats, and cardigans look as good as tank tops. Beauty of simplicity.
