Kanye West never shies away from the limelight and his ostentatious style follows suit with his extroverted personality. Today (June 8), West celebrates his 34th birthday. Let's look back at some of the trends that might have raised eyebrows, but that West wore with bravado.
The Half Open Shirt
Whether he's wearing a V-neck tee or a woman's designer shirt, the rapper likes a little breathing room and has no reservations about wearing his shirts partially open. He might actually prefer it.
Multiple Gold Chains
The 80s trend is alive and well in West's closet and he's not hesitant about piling on the gold chains. The more the merrier in his book and somehow he pulls it off, Jesus pieces and all.
Stunna Shades
Indoors or outdoors, West is in a pair of designer shades. Celebrities wear sunglasses less to protect their eyes from the sun as to give the effect of concealing their identity. West lives in his sunglasses. He popularized the shutter shades and is always wearing a fly pair of Raybans and Porsche Carreras.
Excessive Louis Vuitton
He doesn't call himself the "Louis Vuitton don" for nothing. Kanye West wanted to intern for the fashion house and is downright obsessed with the luxury brand. Whether he's rocking a coin purse, oversized scarf or belt, guy loves his Louis.
Loafers
Kanye took the Grandpa slipper trend to another level. He dresses his loafers up and down with jeans or slacks, and managed to update the frumpy style with his own twist.
