Although many Hip-Hop artists have given themselves the prefix for doctor, this past weekend Sean “Diddy” Combs actually became Hip-Hop’s first honorary one. Proving that humble beginnings can lead to excellence, Combs was granted an honorary doctorate degree from Howard University, the institution he left to pursue his dreams of becoming a business mogul. The speech he gave during the 2014 commencement ceremony was televised on his network, Revolt TV, and included enlightening advice for the graduates:
“When you leave here today, go forth with the knowledge that you have the power to change the world. Embrace your power and turn your dreams into reality.”
When it comes to doing just about anything, the three-time Grammy Award-winning hip-hop artist, actor, producer, and entrepreneur does it all with a flavor that’s his own — and this week’s Star Style shows you how to steal Sean Combs’, er, Dr. Diddy’s style.
Florals are amongst the many menswear trends mirroring the women’s this season. An easy way for men to wear flowers is with one solid, head-to-toe color, as seen on Combs.
When unsure of how to put your best style forward when it comes to after-six swag, you can’t go wrong with a classic look.
Even though you may prefer a more baggy-fitting pair of pants, a straight flat-front pair presents a sleek appearance — which is best for men over 40.
Always be sure to have stand-out kicks within your wardrobe.
During the warmer months, why not consider lightening up for a formal event? The look is definitely not low-key, and is best for style leaders, such as Combs.
A plush track suit is one of the most versatile, casual wardrobe solution a man can own.
Never shy away from bold, pops of color! Wearing bright hues is definitely a do for men.
Even when wearing a suit casually, Combs knows the power of adding simple accents for a polished look.
For warmer days, pairing gray lightweight slacks with white or pastel-colored tops will work superbly for casual Fridays in the office.
While on vacation, wearing a suit casually with a logo Tee may just give you “rock star” appeal.
Men such as Combs realize that leaving the house with unmatched Tees and sneakers is a major faux pas.
To update your personal denim collection, consider purchasing a pair with a rugged, worn-in wash.
