As consistent as Drake is with number-one singles, his style is often hit or miss. That’s just the way it is: just because you’ve mastered the pop charts doesn’t mean that you’re equally talented at getting dressed.
But Drake’s recent looks have been impressively consistent, mostly held down by his respectably baggy leather cargos and his new favorite LOEWE shoes. Even that weird dog mask moment spoke to Drake’s newfound stylistic confidence, really, as he finds a groove with oversized tops, pants, and shoes.
Drake’s latest outfit, worn between stops on his “It’s All a Blur” tour, is less about the clothes and more about the hair, though. In fact, it’s practically all about the hair.
Up until August 17, Drake had kept his hair in tight braids, matching his son, Adonis. But when Drake let ’em out, he apparently decided to leave his ‘do as is and rock two pink hairclips to keep his frizz in place.
You know what? Honestly, pretty cool look for Drake. With the hair and appropriately retro outfit he wore to visit the Atlanta Hawks basketball team, Drake’s new look affects a respectively old-school appearance that recalls, say, late-’90s Busta Rhymes.
Not the same hair or clothes, obviously, but the vibes are similarly relaxed.
Drake’s hair is inimitable enough that it’s already generating fancams — or maybe it’s just the cutesy pink hairclips working their magic.
Hey, they work. There’s a solid contrast between the clips’ delicacy and the hulking bagginess of informing the rest of Drake’s look.
Overall, this is a pretty good trend for a guy whose stylistic oeuvre typically plays second fiddle to pursed lips or, uh, well, mostly the lips.
Credit where credit is due. If this infatuation with baggy pants and bulky shoes keeps up, we may have to regularly start paying attention to what Drake’s wearing. Y’know, more than we already do.
