Namely, aim to be a master of many accessories, not just one. Whether a cap or beanie, circular gold-rimmed sunglasses or heavy black angular acetate shades, there’s seemingly no accessory Rocky can’t pull off.

That’s not an invitation to throw on everything and the kitchen sink at once, though. Think of accessories like rings, watches, chains and sunglasses as a means of putting meat on your look, stacking them up if your clothing skews minimal and dialling them down if your threads are already doing enough talking. Easy does it.

All-Black Works, Always

Something of an unofficial uniform for A$AP, all-black-everything isn’t just a dress code, it’s damn near a sartorial religion.

Rocky doesn’t just fall back on all-black when all else fails, he worships at its altar, turning monochrome dressing into an art form whether turned out in sharp tailoring or bust-up jeans and a bomber.

Of course, he’s not the first. Rock stars and rappers have hailed black-on-black for years, taking advantage of the fact that no matter how you riff on it, it’s pretty hard to mess it up. (Especially useful when you’re living out of a suitcase.)

So why exactly is all-black the best thing since this really weird interview with A$AP? Well, because it’s the ultimate blank canvas. Want to strap some bling on your wrists? It’s easy with an all-black base. Got a brightly coloured bomber or a pair of statement trainers you want to give some airtime? A$AP’s shown it’s a cinch on both counts.

Strip your look back to black and you’ll be able to pull off almost anything.

But Fear No Colours

OK, so you’ve successfully avoided looking like Mr. Motivator so far in life (congrats), but can you really get away with yet another season decked out solely in navy, black and white? Probably, but it won’t win you a podium position.
