| This past year was a pretty wild one in style. If last year was the era when dudes first started to experiment with tried and true formulas, then 2012 was the time when guys took serious risks with already established style. Tons of athletes, actors, and musicians may have appeared fashionable or caught our eye for a moment, but very few had a true sense of their own style that was consistently fresh throughout the year. We combed through the red carpets, street style, and performances to find the most stylish celebrities who weren't hopping on trends, but were forging their own steez in a sea of mediocrity. These are the dudes who know what works, but who aren't scared to switch it up either. After a full year of watching these guys lead the pack, here are The 25 Most Stylish Celebrities of 2012. |
Quote:| After finally convincing us to call him Yasiin Bey, the man formerly known as Mos Def took 2012 to prove that his style is definitely consistent. Bey is the current master of mixing prints with vintage-inspired garments with contemporary next level style. And he somehow never looks like he's trying too hard or reaching too far. Hopefully now that his style is incredibly on point he can focus on a 2013 album. |
4. Frank Ocean
Quote:| This past year nearly belonged entirely to Frank Ocean. His much-hyped album Channel Orange exceeded expectations, the singer broke down barriers on his own terms, and he did it all in impeccable style. The OFWGKTA member kept it interesting this past year, incorporating powerhouses like YSL and smaller brands like Sidian Ersatz & Vanes into his eclectic wardrobe. Also, don't be surprised if you see dudes rocking the headband à la Ocean next year. |

| For about 10 years now, Pharrell has been setting trends and leading us into the unknown. Did you think 2012 would be any different? Besides having his hands in too many musical projects for us to even count, Skateboard P brought Mark McNairy on board to develop the Billionaire Boys Club Bee Line, proving that the producer/rapper/author/designer is as in tune now as he was ten years ago. |

| 2012 was quite the year for Kanye West, and that's saying something for the man who's dominated the music and style game for years now. In addition to putting out Cruel Summer, the album that was a constant presence no matter where you went, 'Ye also boo'd up the love of his life Kim Kardashian. And he did it all while creating a high-low style that's consistent enough to be signature 'Ye, but also keeps us guessing and talking about whatever it is he'll do next. |

| Without even releasing a proper album in 2012, A$AP Rocky sold out a national tour and made sure anyone looking to out-dress him in 2013 would have a ****in' problem. Besides usually being dressed in Raf Simons and Rick Owens, Dat Pretty Mother****er is doing what Kanye and Jay did in 2011 and educating us peons about high-end luxury brands that will undoubtedly soon be the next hot ****. Not to mention Complex's current cover star is homies with Jeremy Scott, Alexander Wang, and Raf Simons. With these friends and his continuously developing style, there ain't no way Rocky's gonna fall off from #1 anytime soon. |
