Kanye Outfit Rating... 9.5/10


...
Arguably one of the best Kanye Outfits to ever grace the streets, and it's all thanks to that gorgeous Louis V. trench coat. Ye pulls the whole fit off with a with a touch of class alongside his unerring street persona and style. A street snap that would fit perfectly on the glossy pages of Hypebeast and GQ likewise.

Louis Vuitton Double Breasted Coat - $ALOT


This signature piece is from the house's Autumn - Winter, 2012-2013 collection showcased in Milan. The runway show was all thanks to Kim Jones, the then man at the helm of Louis V's menswear offering. The look was styled over a tie and belted in, to me at least, a preppy-private schooled way. Although, Kanye opts for a more casual, but still very high end street wear aesthetic.

APC Kanye Airport Sweater - $340

In all truth, I can't really tell what sweater Mr West is wearing, but that white wool is undeniably poking out from the inside of his overcoat, and with that comes presumptions. We have to say it is probably that APC Kanye Airport Sweater, made out of that gorgeous baby Alpaca wool. As much as I didn't agree with the price point or the hype; you can't deny the quality of materials and fit the collaboaration brought to this piece. The sweater retailed at $340, although these days you'll have to part with resell or deal with second hand condition to get your hand on this garment.


Balenciaga Arena - $500

An old favourite of Kanye's, the gorgeous Arena's by Balenziaga are no secret; adored by sneaker heads and fashionista's globally you probably already know about this shoe! The shoe compliments his outfit perfectly as he treads the Paris streets in the $500 Lambskin sneaker. West is seen treading the Paris streets in the high black model in this instance. The shoe is made from soft Lambskin and retails at around $500. This is a super high end model, but when you're wearing a Louis V overcoat I guess you can't just throw on some old chucks?
