Whether you're a fan or foe of Diddy, I just think you can't argue the man is clean with a rack. Take this ensemble: I think the same look, with its bold shot of color, on another man could be emasculating, but it's Sean For the Win the way he's rocking it.
A few things are key here imo, among them the well-edited ice cube selection, the perfect fit of his trousers (bonus points for veering from jeans!), and the impeccable grooming.
So he may have Invented the Remix, but he didn't invent great style. Rather, he projects his sartorial influences. There's the Harlem swag. Before his fourth birthday, Diddy lost his father, Melvin - an associate of the drug kingpin immortalized in 2007's American Gangster, Frank Lucas - to a life of crime. Combs's smooth lines feel like a throwback to that controversial era.
There's evidence of his exposure to high fashion too, a little Rat Pack thrown in, and of course his own individual imprint to tie it all up. Nothing about his choices screams trend-spotter, and unlike a Kanye, who can appear costumed, Mr. Sean John just looks effortless.
