Another Day, Another Absolutely Tremendous Tyler, the Creator Fit
Tremendous #Tremendous
Welcome to Heat Check, a (semi)regular dose of much-needed style inspiration culled from the very best celebrity fit pics around.
We’ve been saying it for a minute now, but it’s worth repeating: Tyler, the Creator is one of the best dressed dudes on the whole damn planet. It’s likely no surprise that we’re diehard fans of a certain cohort of certified Big Drippers—the guys who can’t stop, won’t stop positively FREAKING it when it comes to getting dressed day in and day out. Out on a grocery run yesterday in L.A., Tyler proved once again why he has my vote for the coveted, hotly contested title of—drumroll, please!—Big Dripper of the Year.
The not-so secret recurring ingredient in his recipes for perfectly sauced fits? An A1 knitwear game no one can touch right now. Stepping out of Bristol Farms, the swanky West Coast grocery store chain, Young T stopped self-driving Teslas in their tracks in an absolutely banging color-blocked cardigan from Noon Goons (now sadly long since sold out), and tobacco brown high-water trousers—cropped to reveal a healthy amount of sock— anchored by neon yellow loafers from one ageless skincare god’s collaboration with Chanel.
And if this is how the dude dresses for a grocery run when no one’s looking, imagine the fits he’s getting off when he knows the cameras will be turned his way?! (Or don’t—I’ve got a good idea what they’d look like.) If you follow the guy on IG, this probably isn’t news to you. It doesn’t matter what he’s doing, Tyler’s going to come correct. And that means he’s going to come in some variation of this uniform, whether he’s casually hanging out with Solange in a drool-worthy knit from Gucci or popping wheelies on an empty suburban street in calf socks and loafers. Tyler’s an an aesthete through and through, and he’s not dressing for anyone but himself.
It’s that degree of commitment, more than anything else, that separates the Grammy-winning artist from the pack. Tyler, the Creator is out here making the most compelling argument I’ve seen yet for getting dressed not because you have anywhere in particular to go, but because getting dressed in and of itself is a pursuit worth indulging, and maybe even a vital one if you’re starved for a fleeting sense of pre-pandemic dignity. So this weekend, ditch the sweatpants and get dressed like nobody but you is watching. In other words, make like Tyler—even if the only place you’re headed is the grocery store down the street. Because right now, that should be all the incentive you need.
Consider the title yours, Mr. Creator. Congratulations on a hell of a run.
