In honor of Father's Day, I rounded up five fashionable family men who also happen to be some of the biggest names in rap music. Gone are the days of relaxed-fit carpenter chino's and oversize polyester football jerseys. As the world of hip-hop evolves to a more sophisticated level, so do their outfits. Which of these hip-hop dads has the best street style? Read on to find out my tastemaker top five and who's your favorite!
First up, Pharrell Williams (kid count: one) wearing a cropped, Japanese-inspired letterman jacket with distressed-rip-then-repaired denim. Finishing off this collegiate-inspired look are his floral-painted sneakers and iconic Vivienne Westwood riding hat.
Jay Z's (kid count: one) outfit is a combination of frat boy athletic meets streetwear chic. The vintage-inspired graphic basketball jersey coupled with a flat-bill red ballcap channels the kid that never seemed to grow up.
Then take a look at Sean "Diddy" Combs (kid count: five) in Philip Lim 3.1's embroidered floral bomber jacket. Opting to go monochromatic underneath was a well thought-through plan. Black-on-black for the woven top and a satin-striped tuxedo pant was the perfect balance.
Next, is Kanye West (kid count: one) in Burberry Prorsum's bonded shearling trench, deep plunging alpaca wool V-neck sweater and leather pants. Clutched in his right hand is a classic Bottega Venetta man-bag.
Finally, hip-hop mogul Nas (kid count: two) wearing a resin-coated indigo denim jacket, basic Hanes tee and a relaxed fit camo-printed pant with workwear-inspired sueded boot.
We all know that these rapper dads have major mic skills, but who has the best street style?
