A$AP Rocky has always been known for his show-stopping style. From runway shows to red carpet appearances, the “Fashion Killa” rapper stays in looks that keep people talking. But in a December interview with PEOPLE, Rocky noted that since becoming dad to sons RZA (2) and Riot (1), he’s switched his style from outrageous to more understated.
“If I could define my dad style, I would say it’s way more focused. Prior to that, it was really just like absurd outfits, just mismatching everything for the sake of it. But now I think it’s a bit more quiet luxury,” he said.
Don’t get it twisted, Rocky’s new look doesn’t mean ill-fitting dad jeans and old sneakers. Whether he’s wearing a simple blue suit or jeans and a tweed blazer, A$AP Rocky is undeniably a trendsetter.
As some of the hottest menswear looks are on display in Paris during Paris Fashion Week, let’s take a look at A$AP Rocky’s amazing style evolution.
Color for Days
From his shades to his shoes, Rocky was known for mixing color and pattern in his own unique way, like in this look from a 2019 trip to London for the CASA LOWE New Bond Street opening.
Batik Chic
Somehow he even made batik print look chic walking through Paris for Fashion Week in June 2019.
Playing With Pattern
Only Rocky could confidently wear a plaid shirt, jeans with colorful animal decals and socks with sandals as he did in May of 2019 for Gucci Cruise 2020 at Musei Capitolini in Rome, Italy.
A Luxe Tux
While most guys were wearing Black, A$AP Rocky was wearing everything else. He’s seen here in a pink Loewe tuxedo from their Fall-Winter 2019 collection at Clive Davis’ 2019 pre-GRAMMY Gala in Beverly Hills.
Masked Up
A$AP Rocky always pushed the style envelope on stage. Here, he’s seen performing in a mask in Duluth, Georgia in 2019.
Sheer Creativity
Rocky’s creativity was on full display, wearing a sheer lace top, a strand of pearls and silver pants in Japan in 2018 for Dior Pre-Fall 2019 Men’s Collection show.
Granny-Inspired Glam
Rocky channeled his inner glamma, wearing a colorful silk robe, head scarf and slippers arriving at the 2018 LACMA Art + Film Gala in Los Angeles in 2018.
Parents’ Night Out
Since becoming a dad, Rocky has started to dress the part in the coolest way. Here, he wears a navy cardigan and black pants on a date night in NYC with Rihanna in May 2024.
A Tan Suit President Obama Would Love
In this amazing 2024 photoshoot for W magazine, Rocky werks a tan suit even former President Obama would be proud of.
A Smart Blazer
Rocky looks casually cool layering a blazer over a crewneck sweater and jeans while out celebrating his birthday with Rihanna in New York in 2023.
It’s All in the Details
Quiet luxury is all about the subtle details, something A$AP Rocky never misses. Here, he’s layered a print and a leather shirt under a blue pinstripe suit for the Bottega Veneta Summer 25 show during Milan Fashion Week in September 2024… and peep the red and yellow snakeskin bag!
Playing With Neutrals
Rocky still plays with patterns, he’s just working with a more neutral color palette. We love the mix of grey and taupe he’s wearing while out and about in New York City in October 2024.
Simple and Stylish
Rocky proves you don’t need a lot of color to look cool while out in Shanghai, China in October 2024.
Anything But Basic Blue
A$AP Rocky may prefer to stick to the basics these days, but he’s still always pushing the envelope with shape and structure. Here, he’s wearing an oversized Bottega Veneta jacket and pants at the London Fashion Awards on December 2, 2024.
Accessories are Everything
When it comes to Rocky’s style, accessories are everything. He may be wearing a simple pair of black dress pants and a leather jacket at the 38th Annual Footwear News Achievement Awards in New York City on December 4, 2024, but his brown belt with the statement buckle is definitely the star of the show.
New York State of Mind
Rocky represents NYC in street style staples – a Yankee hat, leather jacket and Timberland boots.
All Tied Up
We love the way he leveled up his casual look, rocking a collared shirt and tie with his jeans and a puffer vest.
It’s in the Bag
Even in frigid temps, Rocky maintains his style. Here, he’s seen rocking a Burberry scarf with a Gucci hat and Bottega Veneta tote while out and about in New York City.
