Who could forget the black jumpsuits adorned with various phrases like, “everything is temporary” and “thinking deeply about shallow sh#t,” that he rocked with a platinum blonde wig during Outkast’s reunion tour in 2014? Three Stacks, who would also work with Tretorn on a footwear capsule, still knows how to make a statement when he wants to. He opts for essentials like beanies, solid-colored crewnecks, and trousers more often than not, but he still has his moments. As time passes, Andre 3000, who went on to launch a retro-preppy brand called Benjamin Bixby, is in the public eye less and less. Ever the contrarian, Dre has experimented with turbans, blond wigs, shoulder pads, a modernist take on Nat King Cole, and barbershop quartets. Since arriving on the scene in the late '90s alongside Big Boi, Andre 3000 reconfigured a Funkadelic style that drew heavily on George Clinton, Bootsy Collins and Afrika Bambaataa. Signature Look: Throwback dapper gentleman. It probably isn’t a stretch to call Pharrell one of the coolest people ever. To top it all off, the man has barely aged a day since his days of dressing in head-to-toe Bape.
These days, you would hard-pressed to find him not repping his friends lines, whether that’s Human Made, his joint venture with Nigo, or Cactus Plat Flea Market, Cynthia Lu’s collection. In more recent years, he’s boasted an ongoing relationship with Adidas resulting in a wide array of original sneakers and even dropped his own Chanel collection in 2019. days, Pharrell harnessed the power of the collab, creating limited-edition items with Nike, BAPE, Medicom, and more. He was onto A Bathing Ape early and established a continuing relationship with streetwear legend Nigo that led to his Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream brands. Pharrell pioneered nerd couture in opposition to hip-hop fashion hegemony and made it okay to wear high-end, skate park, anime-influenced accessories in bold colors and still be rap certified. His approach-understated cool, with offbeat and witty accents-influenced EVERYONE Jay, Kanye, Pusha T, and just about all the new school rappers owe him a debt. Pharrell is your favorite stylish rapper’s favorite stylish rapper. Signature Look: Forward-looking streetwear.
