He frequents thrift shops, he wears your Granddad’s clothes and he looks incredible. 2013’s biggest emerging artist Macklemore (real name Ben Haggerty) has made quite the impression over the last few months, but let’s face it…if you can get away with wearing fur coats on a regular basis and still manage to look extremely decent then you deserve to be here. Because it’s exactly what Macklemore does folks. He rocks vintage fur coats on a regular basis and still manages to look decent. I.e We are more than a tad jealous.

Macklemore has been an instant standout from the moment he arrived on the scene with a style playing energetically on retro influences and an Americana quality complete with a cowboy/country element infused through his overall vintage-urban individual look. He is an American independent rapper after all. Some street cred must be reserved to save face.

Mixing flamboyant, playful prints alongside theatrical fringed military cloaks and suede cowboy vests, Macklemore brings a fun, confident, eclectic and slightly unhinged approach to men’s style and we love him for it. Macklemore where have you been all my life.
