Ballin' vs. Budget: LeBron James Dresses Up


We at Complex love the fact that casual Friday is more like casual everyday. There's something about the suit-and-tie steez that just doesn't go well in our office. But there are times where you just can't avoid getting formal—even King James can't dodge dressing up on certain occasions.

Last week at an NYC Gucci party, Lebron traded in his signature ball shorts and jersey for a more refined Mr. Rogers x Steve Urkel x Japanese interior designer look (and that's a compliment). Word to Drizzy Drake, this is one outfit we'll remember forever. Read on to see how to recreate this look, even if you're not ballin' with a capital "B".....
