He’s dominating airwaves and the outerwear game. The Weeknd’s silky smooth lyrics and seriously suave dances moves (did you guys see him crush SNL?) are almost no match to his ability to stand out in a dark hues and chunky layers. Between oversized military style coats and subtle statement pieces, it’s hard to pinpoint The Weeknd’s exact style genre but what we do know for sure: he can rock a bomber jacket. Channel this soulful star’s all-black and perfectly fitting ensemble by keeping to slim cut pants and graphic accessories. You can go all out with a patterned bomber or keep it sleek in satin – either way, you’ll look as cool as you’ll undoubtedly feel.
Steal The Weeknd’s bomber jacket style:
Jacket: MKI, $209 | Chinos: NN.07, $165 | Tee: Saturdays Surf NYC, $20
Socks: Eddie Bauer, $10 | Sneaker: Bar III, $60 | Hair cream: Billy Jealousy, $18
Watch: Timex, $125 | Belt: Nixon, $40
Wear it well:
- Creating an attention grabbing all-black outfit is as easy as incorporating different textures and patterns to break up the look and add contrast between pieces.
- A graphic tee is great focal point for this outfit, but be wary about the style. A tee with too large of a logo or an Ed-Hardy-esque motif might be counterproductive to the minimalist feel of this outfit…and well, style.
- If you want to avoid a graphic tee all together, try wearing a melange henley or a solid colored v-neck.
- This look can be as laid-back or as spotlight-stealing as you want. Choosing a bomber jacket in suede 0r adding unique patches and bold zippers are all quick ways to add an extra punch of interest to your look.
