A$AP Rocky is really into fashion. He's not shy when it comes to rapping about obscure designers, he's friends with the likes of New York's trendiest talents, Jeremy Scott and Alexander Wang, and his outfit reblogs on Tumblr stretch longer than the 1 train. And in case you didn't know, the P in PMF stands for peculiar. Just take a look at his street goth looks—they're only easy to pull off if you're the adventurous type. And adventurous types are usually weirdos.
We give daps to any guy who is willing to push fashion forward, and Rocky happens to be one who takes a style risk every time he steps out into the spotlight. But is his fashion misunderstood by the rest of the world? Take a look at how others may have received his "different" looks is Clothes Get Weirder: A$AP Rocky's Wildest Looks.

What He Looks Like: The LSD love child of a Polo Bear and Ninja Turtle
What He's Actually Wearing: Jeremy Scott for adidas Originals T-Shirt
This was from our Feb/March 2011 Complex Cover when we introduced Rocky to designer Jeremy Scott. Their vision together is outrageous in a good way, but this mask is definitely for weirdos only.
Long Tee
What He Looks Like: The stock room of American Apparel
What He's Actually Wearing: Long White T-Shirt
Rocky is all about tonal dressing. Wearing one color from top to bottom is an easy way to make a statement without having to spend loads of cash. Cut a long sweatshirt to show off raw hems, and you too can look like a stylish New Yorker.
Raf Simons
What He Looks Like: A half-transformed Optimus Prime
What He's Actually Wearing: Raf Simons Boots
Those boots? Oh, just a $1,800 pair from Raf Simons' spring/summer '08 collection. Lego feet are very rare.
Astrid
What He Looks Like: A used tissue next to a teenage boy's bed
What He's Actually Wearing: Astrid Andersen Sweatsuit (F/W '12)
Astrid Andersen makes the sickest sweatsuits in London right now. She's the one to watch when it comes to UK streetwear. The look might seem weird now, but we predict it's going to be on every cool rapper's back by this time next year.
HBA
What He Looks Like: A sanitation worker ready to collect trash
What He's Actually Wearing: Hood by Air Neoprene Overall Top and Matching Shorts, Pyrex hoodie
It's not easy to look like a fly garbage truck driver. Shayne Oliver's HBA pieces are hard to come by and Virgil Abloh's Pyrex gear is pricey, but Rocky has them both on speed dial.
Shaun Samson
What He Looks Like: A foster child in hand-me-down clothes
What He's Actually Wearing: Shaun Samson Top, Shorts, and Earmuffs (F/W '13)
If you aren't up on Shaun Samson yet, learn about the London designer quick. The oversized T-shirt is big on the runways and the street this season and the Central Saint Martins grad is all about mixing high fashion and sub-culture. The earmuffs are extra weird, though.
KTZ
What He Looks Like: The Illuminati's golden child
What He's Actually Wearing: Kokon To Zai Church Emroidery Long Hoodie (F/W '12)
The extra long hoodie is definitely a weird look, but we give props to A$AP Rocky for being one of the first to co-sign KTZ. More and more rappers are jumping on the UK brand.
Custom
What He Looks Like: Blankman gone Vietnam Vet
What He's Actually Wearing: Custom Vest, Custom Virgil Abloh Tee, Army Surplus Camo Shorts, White Thermal Long Johns
Rocky was trying to make balaclava masks happen before Kanye, and like his fellow fashion weirdo, the Harlem rapper wears a custom piece made by Virgil Abloh. You might wear long underwear to keep warm, but Rocky goes next level and layers long johns under shorts to play with proportion.
White Vest
What He Looks Like: A skunk that was born with a birth defect
What He's Actually Wearing: Custom Vest, Balaclava, White Thermal Long Johns
Again with the vest, long underwear, and face mask. At least the dude's consistent.
