WEAR POPS OF YELLOW
We all have a bold color that we love to make a statement wearing. And while NBA YoungBoy doesn't shy away from metallic jackets or aqua blue pants, the young rapper favors the zesty shade of yellow. He's not shy about wearing the bright hue, as he regularly dons yellow outerwear pieces. The skeleton print biker jacket styled with black denim and the Air Jordan 12 retros and the windbreaker paired with a white turtleneck and jeans are two of the many yellow coats we've seen him wear.
TRY BIKER DENIM
Whether you own one pair or twenty, denim is a staple piece in everyone's wardrobe. While most of us reach for your straightforward pair of jeans the, "I Ain't Scared" rapper has a thing for biker or moto styles. Biker and Moto jeans are badass, instantly adding a hard edge to any look, and perfect for a night out at the bar. Below you see NBA YoungBoy wearing his biker jeans with sneakers, but these versatile pants also pair amazingly with Chelsea boots.
YUP IN MY WHITE TEE
I'm sure I don't have to explain the importance of a crisp white t-shirt. Cool, clean and classic, you can never go wrong pairing a fresh white tee with anything. And what we love about NBA YoungBoy's style is he doesn't discriminate between short or long sleeve shirts. Below he is seen in both versions pairing grey sweatpants and white AF1 with this short sleeve top but, throughout this post, you'll notice he also uses them as layering pieces with statement jackets.
BUNDLE UP IN PUFFER JACKETS
No fall or winter is complete without braving the fridged temperature in a Puffer Jacket. The quintessential outerwear piece for sleet and snow, its voluminous appearance alone screams warmth and comfort; that's everything you want when you're braving a blizzard. Now, it's perplexing to see this Baton Rouge native with an array of bubble coats in his closet, but the rapper sports them like he's faced many brutal NYC winters. Typically wearing jeans with puffer jackets, NBA YoungBoy completed his black coat look with low-top Air Jordan 11 Retro sneakers.
FOR PRINTS, TRY PLAID
Here at Kolor, we love plaid just as much as NBA YoungBoy. The Tartan print comes in every color combination, and with black usually, in the mix, plaid is perfect to mix-and-match with other patterns from houndstooth to cheetah print. The Louisiana native incorporated plaid into his wardrobe with an overcoat also featuring a color-blocking detailing and over a hooded sweatshirt pair with sweatpants and sandals.
STOMP IN YOUR AF1s
The AF1 will remain timeless forever. And like many rappers, the white low-top Nikes are regularly seen in NBA YoungBoy sneaker rotation. Smartly styled, the down south rapper wears tidy white Nike trainers with more fashion-forward garments like a star print and Dior print jackets.
FLEX IN DESIGNER BELTS
Let be honest, a belt's placement at the waist, right above the family jewels, makes designer belts a widely popular flex. It's a focal point where eyes are sure to wonder and, when you're spending hundreds of dollars on a leather belt, you'd, for damn sure, want people to see it. The key to this trend is buying a belt with the brand's monogram as the belt buckle's hardware. For example, NBA YoungBoy wore his Gucci belt (left) and a Salvatore Ferragamo (right), both with each fashion house's logo as the belt buckle, with denim jeans and polo shirts.
GO SLEEVELESS WITH A VEST
I don't think any of us are strangers to knowing what a vest is. Wearing one outside of a three-piece suit, on the other hand, is a different menswear story. The sleeveless style makes the garment ideal for layering over long or short sleeve tops, but the style anxiety kicks in when trying to determine if this piece is enough outerwear for the day or will I wish I'd layered with a jacket instead, or as well (yikes). Below, the "How I Been" rapper kept fashionably warm in a fur vest.
