Since nearly destroying the internet after dropping his James Turrell-jacking video for "Hotline Bling," Drake has also laid down the final word on both dancing and men's fashion.
Since nearly destroying the internet after dropping his James Turrell-jacking video for "Hotline Bling," Drake has also laid down the final word on both dancing and men's fashion. The OVO founder's style was on trend and completely on fleek, leaving many scrambling to try and cop some of Champagne Papi's inimitable steez. While these are all perfectly acceptable looks to strive for this fall, we must remind readers that "you should just be yourself."
Sweater Weather on Smash
The first thing you might have noticed, aside from Drake's oddly appealing and impeccable dad-dance, was probably that comfy looking polo-neck sweater. Just in time for fall, Acne is going to be a brand you'll be hearing a lot about this season and this knitted sweater is one of the must-have items for sensitive guys that want to look good. Sweaters were already in, but "Hotline Bling" has pushed the usual cold-weather item into next-level territory. The polo-neck is a nice in-between sweater, not quite a cable knit, but not necessarily a turtle neck. This is the "Goldilocks" of sweaters and it nestles up with your neck just right. Woe be unto the person that thinks they can get away with rocking a tacky sweater they found at the thrift store, polo neck or get out, that other mess is just a beige cardigan.
Guilt Free Sweatpants
Did you ever wish that you could rock a comfortable pair of grey sweatpants and not come off looking like a complete slob? It helps if those pants are new, don't have holes, and you wash off those chili and mustard stains. There's also a high probability your sweatpants didn't cost over $100 but few fashion trends are born from affordability. This collection of all of Drake's "Hotline" outfits notes that both the hoodie and darker sweats are both from Drizzy's personal clothing line, October's Very Own, putting him one step ahead of Kanye in terms of on-trend fashion you can actually buy. For fans looking for some of the harder to find styles of the Champagne Papi, we found some savvy inspiration from the lists at this page. It's nice to have a few additional options from some of the featured designers, like Acne and Moncler, so we can keep our lo ok on point without looking like we're wearing a Drake costume.
The Triumphant Return of Timberlands
As if you needed a reminder, the '90s are very much in vogue this season and with them has come a resurgence in the popularity of the classic work boot. In the video, Drake notably rocks the classic Timberland 6" boots that can be found at most respectable shoe stores. While they're expensive, these boots will last you for the next decade with proper care. If you're not quite ready for the commitment to Tims, we're also big fans of those tan Nike Manoa boots that you can snag for less than a c-note.
The Bubblegoose is Back
A sleek form-fitting jacket with a slim silhouette? Forget that noise. Drake has singlehandedly brought back the puffy down coat and dudes everywhere are going nuts trying to get their hands on the oversized Monclear coat. Now you too can keep your metaphorical deuce-deuce in your bubblegoose with the softest and puffiest of down coats this winter. Shout out to Sean Paul, am I right?
