Damn. It’s hard to believe, but it’s been 20 years since Shelton “Spike” Lee followed up his collegiate musical School Daze with the fire-starting, incendiary (at times), epochal classic Do The Right Thing. (The milestone is commemorated with a new 20th-Anniversary DVD edition, out now.)

Even if you haven’t seen Do The Right Thing (and we really hope you have), you were somehow influenced by the style that emanated from it. Whether it was the necklaces and charms, the T-shirts and jerseys, the way you wore your hat, or the way you rocked and cleaned your Jordans, Spike showed you how to do it, son. It’s for that reason we’re paying homage to Lee’s masterpiece with a guide on how to dress like your favorite character, from Spike Lee’s deliveryman Mookie to Bill Nunn’s Radio Raheem. Read on below to see how you can embody the style of yesterday, today. And, no you won’t look like a Retro Kid. We promise.
