Saint Peter

The age of the slim-cut and tailored-fit monopoly is over. Every one of Jesus' apostles rocked an oversize, drapey 'fit, making this one of the best trends of the years 2013 and 0.

Andrew the Apostle

Andrew's accomplishments and style may be overlooked by the achievements of his brother Saint Peter, dude could colorblock like a champ. Following suit is a low-risk way to kick your 'fit up a notch and make a bold statement.

James, Son of Zebedee

James, son of Zebedee is also known as James the Greater to distinguish him from James the Lesser, but it could also be from dude's accessories. Shawl: dope. Walking stick: killer. X-shaped pin: sick. Scallop shell emblem: not only next level, but his name is now in the French, Dutch, and German words for scallop. His gear was so advanced it literally altered the linguistic landscape. Take note.

John the Apostle

At first, John's gear looks like it originates in any old apostle's wardrobe. But, what he knows and what you should take away is that the glory is in the details. The textured weave of his blue garment combined with gold detailing set him apart from the other 11.

Philip the Apostle

It's important to know what color works for you. Some people just don't look right in all-black or all-navy. This definitely takes some experimenting, but when it clicks, it clicks. Clearly, Philip went through a few trials before realizing that this mossy green worked best with his wild beard and his devotion to Jesus.

Bartholomew or Nathanael

Everyone knows that an all-black looks will most likely look dope. But dipped in an all-white get-up can look just as good. Bartholomew knows this, and his outfit looks like he got something from the KTZ spring/summer 2014 collection before anyone else.

Matthew

It's similar to colorblocking, but rocking different shades of the same color is a more advanced maneuver. Matthew's rocking all types of red, but switching up various blues, greys, or blacks could look dope if you have the confidence to rock it with aplomb.

Thomas the Apostle

If your whole look is luxe as fuck, you might look like an asshole. But if you just add in a few luxurious details, your shit immediately goes to 10. Thomas' fur trimming does just this, and this regular ancient gear looks like something Kanye might wear in Paris.

James the Lesser

James the Lesser's pink shawl is pretty attention-grabbing, but the real winner here is the neat beard he's cultivated. He was able to do this in the face of violent persecution, plagues, and an almighty God. With the plethora of products and info out there, you have no excuse to look like a raggedy mess.

Simon the Zealot

If you're trynna switch it up a bit in 2014, cop some asymmetrical pieces, or wear your Biblical-era shawl off-kilter like Simon. People might raise an eyebrow at first, but if you get weird looks then trust us, you're doing something right. That's what happened at first with Jesus and his crew, right?

Jude the Apostle

In the last two years, gold has flourished. Style enthusiasts and investors in precious-metal futures rejoiced, but Jude's been doing this shit since 17 BC. Shit is lavish, and while you can take gilded cues from Jude (also known as Thaddeus), setting your head on fire is best left to the experts.

Judas Iscariot

Can't lie, Judas looks dope here. But the number one thing about style is your attitude, not the clothes you're wearing. Judas broke the cardinal rule, and no matter what tags he pops or how he styles his shit, he won't be able to overcome that.
