Pics: Jay-Z July 2009

You can learn how to dress just by checkin my FRESH. Jay-Z’s swagger extends far beyond what he throws on his back, its his whole demeanor. He dresses impeccably but the highest earner in hip hop isn’t usually one to experiment with fashion. This abstract grey cardigan he’s wearing begs to differ.

Don’t Call it a Comeback

Kanye must be serious about bringing the Timberland boots trend back. While I personally did not approve of the way he wore the construction boots on the red carpet of the BET awards, I’m not totally opposed to this look. Maybe I’m warming up “Timbs.” What say you?

Soulja Boy’s swagg has come a long way since his “Crank Dat” days. Say what you want about his music but you can’t deny that this dude is FRESH. I’m definitely about to cop those blue and red Cre8tive Recreation sneakers too.

Another One Bites the Dust

Pic: July 2009 and final issue of VIBE magazine

VIBE magazine is officially folding today. Apparently the notice came out of the blue for all VIBE employees who were working diligently on the September issue (which would have featured Lil Wayne and Kobe Bryant on the cover). Today’s economic climate is crazy and news like this makes me never want to leave school and enter the job hunt.

Say It Aint So

So does this mean “Tims” are on the come up? I don’t think I’ve seen anyone rock Timberland boots in a long time and the last two people I would expect to be wearing them are Ye and Weezy. Is this okay?

This Shirt is Flyy

Gingham isn’t just for picnic table cloths anymore! Throw on a gingham print shirt and roll the sleeves up before you go to the next summer barbeque. Trust me, you’ll love the way you look and girls will too.

Recognize Fresh: Chris Brown

Personal feelings about Chris Brown aside, the boy can dress. I like that he doesn’t rock too many flashy logos like a walking advertisement and that he wears what he feels comfortable in. I would throw on both of these outfits without hesitation.

Look Ma, No Sleeves!

Chris Brown and Juelz Santana in lightweight vests

I’ll admit it, I used to LOVE my nylon vest. That was in elementary school though and I never imagined I would see another one in 2009. You tell me, is it fresh to wear this kind of vest as a grown man? To be honest, I’m seriously considering it.

Pic: Lil Wayne at the 2009 NBA Finals

Weezy F Baby showed up to Game 3 of the NBA Finals rockin’ “personality frames.” Non-perscription lenses have made their way on to the faces Jay-Z, Kid Cudi, Kanye (of course), and now Lil Wayne. The question is: will you be copping a pair?
