Sweatin' their Style

Sure Mackelmore and Ryan Lewis have conquered the pop charts with their catchy and poignant songs. But what I find most appealing about the dynamic duo is their style on and off the stage.

Not dressing like anyone else, I'm inspired by their style. Whereas most pop-stars look like billboards for H&M or they try too hard to be fashionable by wearing the latest runway pieces, Ryan and Mackelmore look like true individuals. Certainly, they probably have hired stylists, but they strike me as the kind of guys who have a strong say in picking out the pieces that they do and don't like. That's why they have such distinct looks.

I would describe Mackelmore's look as a combination of current street style trends that's been inspired by classic rap with its gold chains, added with some court side sneaker swag and finished off with a lot of rock-and-roll fur and sex.

Ryan gives me a fresh new take on classic tailoring and American sportswear without the boring prep or atypical Italian mafioso wannabe. Seriously, I get it. Italians do it better when it comes to peacocking, but it also looks exhausting on the up keeping. Ryan dresses like what you would expect the owner of a young hip Williamsburg hotel would. And I'm alright with that because I'm a fan of his professional hipster.

Together, they create the perfect pair and I want to dress like both of them.

YES
A little Ryan Lewis in the day time for work, and a lot of Mackelmore for play. Just gotta find those gold chains. When are their collaborations with Nike, Target and QVC coming? I'm dying of anticipation

NO
Shopping at a thrift shop is not required to pull off their looks.

MAYBE
You're a Belieber and you're clinging on to your drop waist pants. I just hope you've at least cut your hair just like Justin has too. Lesbian hair is so 2010.
