Best of 2017: Most Fashionable Male

With the launch of Fashion Bomb Men this year, we couldn’t help but to turn our attentions to the men who kept it dapper, fresh, and bespoke all at once.

On our list, we look at hip-hop royalty who mixed luxury pieces with your favorite streetwear brands and an NFL star who knows how to make a statement without uttering a word. Take a look at our 2017 Fashionable Men List:

 

  1. Fabolous


Fab has killed the fashion game wearing a wide variety of stylish looks. From styling the latest or greatest sneakers with colorful streetwear pieces to keeping it sharp in an embellished tuxedo suit, Fabolous takes the crown as one of the Most Fashionable Men of 2017.


 

What makes Fabolous stand out from the other Fashion Bombers is his ability to effortlessly turn sportwear attire into a clean and dapper fit. Fab’s closet consists of unique and rare pieces like the vintage DuPont x Jeff Gordon rainbow sweater, and more recently, the FW16 Off-White Lamb Shearling Jacket he wore to a Knicks vs. Nets game.


How can we forget the jacquard suit jacket he wore to Rihanna’s Annual Diamond Ball in NYC ?


With the release of his Freddy vs. Jason themed Friday on Elm Street collaboration with The L.O.X’s own Jadakiss, Fab was hot on the press trail keeping it cozy in Supreme pieces and sick kicks, like these Limited Edition 1978 Timberland Hiking Boots.

 

We can only imagine what he has in store for us in the future, especially since he’s raising his son, Johan, to take the Fashion Bomb crown next.

  1. Swizz Beatz


Artist, producer, and fashion bomb favorite Swizz Beatz is next up on our Fashionable Men list! As the Basquiat of Style, Swizz Beatz is arguably one of the sharpest fashion icons in hip-hop.

With the release of his Bally collaboration, Swizz showed us how to weave dope art concepts with classic sporty styles like varsity jackets, high cut sneakers, and basketball slides.


Who can forget the dapper Revolution cover he did early this Fall, styled by Fatima B.? Swizz took the traditional suit and tie look and elevated it with textured red velvet, and tantalizing pink/forest green/navy blue plaid print suits.


 

  1. Big Sean

 

What would a Fashionable Men list be without the Don, Big Sean, himself? Armed with one of our favorite celebrity stylist, Ade Samuel, Sean never misses a beat when he steps out. He is a calm fashionable force to be reckoned with, keeping his eyes out for streetwear brands that leaves a big impression on his fans.


In May, Big Sean told Vogue all about his patriarchal style influences, citing his father’s love for leather pants and his grandfather tailored suit adoration as inspiration. “I’m from Detroit, where they know how to clean up,” he stated.

 

Him and his leading lady, Jhene Aiko, rightfully won the 2017 MTV Movie & TV Award for the Most Stylish couple, which he accepted in a Dior Homme suit fit for a don.


He and Jhene cut stylish forms at several high wattage affairs.


And of course, Big Sean spreads positivity, not only in his music, but with bold statement pieces like these pair of vintage peace sign printed  Levi jeans.

 

  1. 2 Chainz


The self-proclaimed drench god comes in next on our Fashionable Men list and we’ve got to give it to him: he drips swag! The 6’5″ rapper didn’t let a broken leg stop his “Pretty Girls Love Trap Music” tour or pumping the breaks on making an impression with his fire attires. From his pink wheelchair, 2 Chainz consistently delivered back to back fashion moments throughout 2017.


 

Some of his favorite pieces came from luxury and streetwear brands like Gucci, LV, and Supreme!

We’re excited to see how 2 Chainz keeps us on our fashionable toes in 2018.

 

  1. Cam Newton


  2. When Cam is off the field, he is busy being a father figure and style icon .



  3.  
  4. Cam Newton loves mixing prints to showcase his big and eccentric personality. The fashion forward quarterback doesn’t mind pairing a pink suit, checkered shirt with a striped bow tie for a press conference;  as long as he can rock a stylish fedora, he’s game!





    And just like his Fashionable comrades, this style daredevil often switches things up trading his loafers and boat shoes for sneakers.

Best of 2017: Fashion Bomber of the Year

Time has certainly flown by for 2017. Many Bombers were spotted, discovered, or even aspired to be crowned as the flyest male, while myself and the rest of the Fashion Bomb Daily squad reached a verdict. Well, this time we watched and listened to our Bomb readers who’s style you loved the most. Here’s to our top five Bombers who owned 2017 with their dope style!

 

1. Omar, @thereal_chuck_bass from Boston (2,144 likes; 26 comments)

Now, this bomber is one for the books! He’s goals because he’s managed to take his handsome looks and dapper street style to the big screen. He’s made a special appearance on Fox TV show Empire and dazzles in Essence Magazine features. This man is going places!

 @elle.barr said, “Fashion Bomb Daily?!!!!!!! You better WORK Omar (fire emojis*).”


What can’t Omar do? We love him because he’s not over the top and is confident in his skin.

 

2.  Adeboya, @theorgangenerd from Lagos, Nigeria (1,771 likes; 38 comments)

Adebayo indulges in the beauty of art and uses himself as a canvas to express his style.

He isn’t afraid to show off a little skin and vibrant colors are treated as his statement pieces. This may explain his clothing line @orangecultureng, an “androgynous” menswear line that expresses Nigerian culture vividly through his lens.

@theblackem on Instagram wrote, @theorangenerd, congratulations dear…One of my best designers #GodBlessYou.” Just let his designs speak for itself!

 

 

3. Henri, @mesyeuxsurtoi from Paris (1,758 likes; 11 comments)

Remember this trendy couple? Well, Henri and his edgy lady share a fashion blog mesyeuxsurtoi.com. Their blog is unique because they’re a dynamic duo when posed side by side, yet they give their readers a chance to glimpse solo pics of their personal style.

We love Henri because he is a hat fanatic, loves layers and doesn’t mind adding some comfort to his streetwear aesthetics. To amplify his looks, his thick and healthy looking beard does the trick. Bottomline, versatility is key and he nailed that in all of his pics!

@stephn_p wrote, “Style + Looks…what a winning hand!”

Henri just continues to exude effortlessness. We’ve got you locked in our style file for sure!

 

4. Michael, @youngmikeofficial from Kingston, Jamaica (1,361 likes; 63 comments)

 

Michael was a looker instantly once he described his style as a “chameleon.” Well, he proved that to the max with his eclectic dapper style. Did I mention he makes custom tailored suits @lepremiermiami? Yea, he knows what he’s doing!

@yassssss_tt wrote, “I like how masculine you still are in all of your looks… that’s because you wear your clothes, they don’t wear you.”

Can’t stop, won’t stop! Michael, your looks just continue to rise to the top! Keep it up!

 

5. Karlmond, @karlmond from London (849 likes; 10 comments).

Karlmond was discovered on Tumblr mrboystyle.com. He describes his ethnicity and background as “British-born and Chinese.” His style is a mix of urban streetwear, yet very tailored and dapper. I wouldn’t be surprised if he can pull off just about any look.

@shavonnemichele wrote, “Great style. It feels like an authentic expression of individuality through fashion, rather than just “outfits.”

 He is definitely Bomber material!

There you have it! These Bombers have proved that individuality is key through their own distinct styles.

Beyoncé Looks Bomb in $350 Maison Valentino T-Shirt, Julien Macdonald Blazer, Alexander Wang Fishnet Booties, and a Custom Balmain Bag to the #444 Wrap Party

Issa wrap! Jay-Z’s #444 tour is officially over and the celebration has commenced. The lyricist’s wifey, Queen Bey dropped photos to the ‘Gram to show her celebration ensemble, of course!

She rocked a $350 Maison Valentino t-shirt paired with cut-off denim shorts. To jazz up her look, she threw a Julien Macdonald Fall 2017 blazer over her shoulders. Effortless! 

It was only right that she carried a custom Balmain bag reading ‘Love Beyonce’ for this occasion. The original $1,795 studded trim bag reads ‘Love Balmain.’


The bombshell accessorized her look with $995 Alexander Wang fishnet booties and Miu Miu shades

Bey, looks gorgeous as usual. What a casual chic look!

Best of 2017: Model of The Year

Okay so we love us some Tyra Banks, but we don’t need America’s Next Top Model to choose the five hottest, most sought after models of 2017 because it was totally apparent!  Whether strutting down the runway for a high-end brand or striking fierce poses for an upscale magazine, these five models dominated the fashion industry this year and were plastered all over social media every time we scrolled.  When it comes to beauty, style, and flair these five baddies have all three on lock.  Let’s run down our nominees for the Top Five Models of 2017 below.

  1.  1. Jasmine Sanders aka Golden Barbie

Miss Jasmine has come a long way since modeling online for fashion stores like Forever 21.  This lovely young lady has climbed her way to the top in the modeling world in a fierce, unapologetic way.  Posing in Vogue and covering magazines like Harper’s Bazaar are now this model’s forte.

Her golden skin tone and striking eyes make her the perfect prop for a picture.  Whether posing for paparazzi in Paris or walking the runway for Moschino, this babe is definitely a hot commodity.

Keep up with Jasmine’s budding modeling career here.

2.  Adwoa Aboah

No fashion brand can lose with Adwoa in their threads.  This long-legged beauty’s unique features catches all eyes and captivates immediately.

Her iconic and timeless Vogue Britain cover, under Editor-in-Chief Edward Enninful’s direction, broke the internet and had the fashion world salivating.

When she’s not slaying Vogue covers she’s effortlessly working an editorial shoot or heating up the runway for major designers like Dior.

Check out more of Adwoa’s modeling adventures here.

3.  Bella Hadid

Her sister Gigi Hadid may have dominated the modeling industry last year, but this year Bella Hadid showed up and showed out!  Earning her wings as a Victoria Secrets’ runway model and landing Vogue covers all over from Korea to Brazil, Bella did not come to play!

 

Bella is most definitely becoming a style icon of this generation.  She can make an Oscar de la Renta runway look enticing or a simple white top and skirt pop.

Get your Bella fix here.

4.  Slick Woods

How could anyone not look at this face and its features and refrain from doing a double take?  We are sure Rihanna did.  Perhaps that’s why she was chosen to model for Fenty Beauty, and of course the picture with her in the Stunna red lipstick went viral.

Slick’s bad a** demeanor and “in your face” style transfers well in editorial shoots and on the runways of couture brands like Fendi.

What other model could have pulled off this animated, editorial like Slick?  Mark our words when we say that this gorgeous girl is going to be around in the modeling industry for a while.

Follow Slick on her modeling ride here.

5.  Duckie Thot

If there was ever such a thing as a walking muse, Duckie wins that title.  This stunning being makes any piece of clothing look lavish.

Duckie has walked the runway for brands like J’Aton Couture and Fenty and has graced the covers of many a magazine or ruled editorial shoots for brands like Laquan Smith.

Fashion Bombshell of the Day: Kenya from Brooklyn

Merry Christmas!

 

Today’s Bombshell is Kenya from Brooklyn, NY.

She writes, “I think I would like to describe my style as eclectic. I personally don’t like to put on a title on it to box myself in because most times I just go with the flow of wherever my mind takes me to put on.”

“A second description would be reasonable. I stay within a certain range to be of inspiration for those who can’t necessarily afford high end.”

Love it! So chic!

Happy Friday bombers and bombshells! I know a lot of you may be dashing in and out of stores doing some last minute holiday shopping this weekend, but before that take a look at who had the best looks this week based on your Instagram likes!

  1. Zendaya in Moschino: 25, 054 
    We can always count on Zendaya to ‘WOW’ us on the red carpet. She stunned in a butterfly themed Moschino gown and everything about it was perfect! I don’t think many people could full this off, it’s almost like it was made for Zendaya. With her slick pull back and simple ankle strap shoe this look was a hit.
  2. Letoya Luckett and Tommicus in D. Auxilly and Don Morphy: 20,732 Likes
    These newlyweds complement each other so well! They posed for the ‘Gram all week in hot ensembles! This one for sure was a hit. Letoya’s belted feather look is iconic with this bomb cut, while her hubby was suited up in plaid. This is a couples slay— I’m loving it!
  3.  Cardi B in Rubin Singer: 15, 524 Likes
    Our girl Cardi changed her style up for her appearance on the Jimmy Fallon show this week and everything about it was bomb! She opted for a Rubin Singer top with loads of fur— because how else could she come? She finished her look off with Milly trousers and a green pair of her bloody shoes! Let’s not forget the hair bump, I see a ’70s trend coming back. I love the fact that she can switch things up and still beam with confidence. A true bombshell!
  4. 4. Lala in Altuzarra: 15,425 Likes
    Lala is known to slay the ‘Gram on a daily basis, and that’s exactly what she did with this Altuzarra pink pants suit. This look is the perfect mix of classy, yet sexy— everything that Lala represents! She completed her look with a printed pair of Louboutins, which really popped. Keep slaying our lives Lala!
  5.  Monica in Junya Watanabe Comme des Garçons: 14, 165 Likes
    Miss Monica Brown— Can she do any wrong? All year long she has been killing looks from her day to day looks to her stage looks for the Xscape tour. This week, she hit up the streets of Philly in a statement blazer by Junya Watanbe Comme des Garçons, paired with denim shorts and thigh-high Balenciaga boots. This is such a  bomb simplistic look that the blazer took to a different level of slay!
