Jean Jackets Are Still Cool, According to A$AP Rocky and Tyler, the Creator
A$AP Rocky and Tyler, the Creator have ranked among menswear’s leading soothsayers for over a decade. While the rappers’ personal styles have evolved over the years (we’ve all come a long way from luxury joggers and doughnut-print tees), their ability to influence how dudes dress has remained relatively steady. They’ve each pursued careers in fashion, too, with Rocky forging his own label, AWGE, and Tyler founding two brands, Golfwang and Golf le Fleur, as well as designing a sold-out capsule for Louis Vuitton.
So leave it to these two “work husbands” to make the case for the jean jacket, which has become a somewhat contentious garment as of late—at least between millennials and Zoomers on TikTok.
When Rocky and Tyler stopped by the Bird Streets, a Los Angeles members-only haunt, on Sunday evening, both stars bundled up in buttoned-up denim. Flacko wore his dark jean jacket fastened over a white tee, with baggy khaki cargo pants and Timberland field boots. Tyler opted for a full Canadian tuxedo with his jean hems cuffed just enough to show off the black lace-up hikers from his latest collab with Converse.
After the club, the duo and their crew made a late-night stop for slices at the Prince Street Pizza outpost in West Hollywood. How sweet!
