Pharrell Williams
Pharrell Williams claimed that his goal with the Billionaire Boys Club, his apparel collection co-licensed with Reebok, was to “put together something for the consumer who is always well dressed but never loses his individual spirit. Billionaire Boys Club,” he continued, “is a collection of sexy, grown-up apparel for a truly unique lifestyle and state of mind.” He has also described himself as “the Willy Wonka of music” and explains, “I look at my life like it's still school. Band is just one class.” Flexing easily between the roles of hip-hop and pop music producer, writer, performer, and fashion clothing, sneaker, and eyewear designer, Pharrell’s lifestyle demands a wardrobe that flows and shifts with him.
For a relaxed look, Pharrell tends toward hip, sporty urban wear, such as primary color hoodies with bold, blaring stripes and roomy, comfortable jeans or track pants. On formal occasions, he commonly skips the tie in favor of a more laid-back look of suit and open collar. To dress up an outfit slightly, he has been known to add a pinstripe coat to jeans and a colorful button-down shirt. Whatever the occasion, his style is fluid and ever-shifting.
To add depth to your own look, take Pharrell’s advice. Dress well and keep your own sense of style prominent. When your standard looks grow dull, consider ritzing them up with swanky touches such as a fat gold ring, a velvet blazer, or a diamond ear stud. Try out a pristine white suit with a barely gray shirt underneath. Though white is a higher maintenance choice, it instantly creates a halo around the wearer. Make choices unique to you, and don’t be afraid to stand out a little. Don’t worry if other people can’t quite figure out how to define you. A little bit of intrigue goes a long way.
Let your style evolve and change to fit your mood and occasion. Feel free to dress down and easy one day and sharpen up to a high sheen the next. The greater your ranges of influences and projections, the more alluring you are in general. Gravitate toward clothing that makes you feel and look sexy. Be willing to draw attention to yourself with color and a little bit of sparkle. Embracing a sense of style that gives you the freedom to be yourself in all your various forms will impart a sense of boundlessness and possibility to your life.
