Thirty-three-year-old Frank Ocean is one of the music industry’s most elusive players.
In the years before dropping his first album, Nostalgia, Ultra, he was hiding under the surface, writing music for Beyoncé and Justin Bieber. But once he was out of their shadows, not much changed.
Not only does he drop music without any warning, much like Queen B (lest we forget the unexpected Blonde and Endless album drops in 2016), but he also gives barely any insight into his personal life, despite being fairly active on social media, and rarely agrees to interviews. No wonder one of his favourite T-shirts reads “Maintain The Mystery”.
That said, one thing that is all too apparent about Frank Ocean is his unimpeachable sense of style. He knows what looks good, what fits and what brands he definitely needs to be buying in to to earn him a regular place on our best-dressed lists. With a penchant for Prada and Comme Des Garçons, and the ability to make the uncool look cool (Arc’teryx is now a hypebeast essential thanks to Ocean), he’s undeniably one of the fashionable men in music.
With that in mind, below are ten of his most-stylish moments to date.
