A good sense of style will always be respected, no matter what industry you’re in. Some may think that for you to be successful in a certain industry you have to put your all into that craft and nothing else.
That isn’t the case with these Black men, who are at the top of their game and also tend to spend a lot of time in the fashion world.
These were the best-dressed Black men in 2023.
He’s the flyest out right now. If you’re talking rappers, singers, dancers, actors, or athletes, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is flyer than all of them. There’s nothing he’s uncomfortable wearing when it comes to fashion. Of all the looks this year, his fit at the Met Gala stood out the most. But if you check his IG it is filled with heat.
I feel like football players sometimes have the stigma of not dressing well. Not Stefon Diggs. He always puts on whether it’s on the field or at a fashion show. He easily holds the crown as the best-dressed player in the NFL.
If you know a young kid who is into streetwear, they were probably inspired by Lil Yachty this past year. The Atlanta rapper has endless style and a collection of shoes that will make all sneakerheads jealous. So many people were biting his style this year that it became a trend on TikTok to dress like him.
However you feel about Kendrick Lamar’s music, he took a step up when it came to his style. He’s no longer just the kid from Compton. He showed out multiple times a year, including the 2023 Grammys and Paris Fashion Week.
I love Devin Booker’s style, chill and subtle. The star guard for the Phoenix Suns never does too much with his clothing. Just some Chuck Taylor’s, a beanie, and some Dickies pants and he’s good to go.
Pharrell Williams has reached legendary status in the fashion world. No matter if you like it or not, his style has to be respected. He added to his already impressive fashion legacy this year by unveiling his first collection as Louis Vuitton’s Men’s Creative Director.
It’s been pretty cool to see LeBron James’ style evolve over the years. From a young teenager who wore baggy pants to a full-grown adult and dad who looks to be more intentional with what he wears. Suits, tucked-in shirts, fitted clothing, Bron knows what he looks good in and sticks to it.
A$AP Rocky has been the standard of style in hip-hop for a while now. He’s not the top fashion guy in hip-hop anymore, but he still always steps out in clothing you don’t expect him to. As long as he’s around, he’ll always be on lists like this one.
The young Futbol star is thriving on and off the field. He stepped out a few times this year in some amazing pieces, including this fit he wore at the 2023 Ballon d’Or France Football award ceremony.
I guess being in that Laker gold just pulls out the fashion sense in you. Although he’s just a defensive specialist, he dresses like he’s a superstar. Just look at this fit, he stepped in this.
Cool, chill, and smooth. Brent Faiyaz dresses just like his personality. You’ll never see him without shades and fits that almost seem like they naturally drape over him. It’s like he’s looking fly without even trying hard.
Say what you want about his fit with the Los Angeles Lakers, but D’Angelo Russell rarely disappoints when it comes to his off-the-court fits.
I love everything about Coleman Domingo. His demeanor, personality, and acting skills. It’s a bonus that he happens to be one of the most stylish entertainers out there. Every time he is seen on a red carpet he impresses.
Westside Gunn is literally the “Fly God,” there’s no way I could leave him off of this list. Despite his content being pretty dark and violent, he dresses like he’s always going to be front row at a fashion show.
Shai’s cousin, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, is just as fly as him. The Minnesota Timberwolves guard has a similar sense of fashion, often wearing luxury streetwear brands, but he styles them in a way that is unique to him. Sha’s got competition in the family.
Big Smoke is always in something flashy and unique. I like that he stays true to himself and never tries to hop on any trends that may be hot on social media among American rappers. The London MC just does him every time.
As long as he’s in the NBA, Jordan Clarkson will always be one of the flyest guys out here. This look right here is one of his calm fits, but he always wears some interesting pieces before games. Just listen to Charles Barkley’s hilarious reaction to one of his outfits this season.
He’s not the best player on the field, but he’s one of the flyest off of it. The third-year player for the Baltimore Ravens is always showing off his style on social media. The more attention his team gets, the more people will realize that Bateman always steps out looking nice.
