The 50 Most Stylish Men In Los Angeles Right Now

Occupation: Shooting Guard, Lakers



In LA, people either LOVE Kobe or LOATHE Kobe. There is no middle ground. Regardless of what side of the fence you fall with him as a Laker, you cannot deny he does have a great sense of style—and a sick sneaker game. For the most part, he is always well composed and sharply dressed, even in a press conference where he is getting a verbal beat down for blowing a Championship this season.

Occupation: Actor, Producer



You know how your older brother shows up at the bar with flip-flops and bootcut jeans and you take a moment to wish he'd been born with a better sense of style? Billy Zane is everything you wished your older brother was. No need to hide your head in a menu in humiliation when brother Billy walks in the room. Bonus points for making bald look fresh.

Occupation: Founder of Foundtrack Collective, Manager of performance artists, The Bumby’s



With serious plans to become mayor of Los Angeles one day, this LA networking genius connects dots all day long dripping with style. He is a style chameleon; he adjusts his style to be just as comfortable at a punk show at the Roxy in jeans and a tee as he is at a socialite’s fundraiser at MOCA in a three-piece designer suit.

Occupation: Rapper, Actor



Snoop’s been going through some sort of identity crisis lately with a name change and an image change, but the Snoop we’ve all known for the past 20-something years has always been THE entertainer to sum up true LA style. From the creased Dickies and black Chucks (blunt in hand), to the well-tailored pimped out suits (blinged out chalice in hand), Snoop has been a style icon for years.

Occupation: Jewelry designer



Ben Baller used to be a DJ, producer, and record executive, but these days he's known for being a blinged out jeweler more than a music industry vet. Ben Baller trumps all when it comes to accessorizing. LA's biggest rappers, singers, and Hollywood hustlers ask his company IF & Co. to custom-design all their iced-out chains, rings, and grills. Plus, his sneaker game is tight and he's down with all of Fairfax—which means he gets the best streetwear duds early.

Occupation: Rapper, Overdoz



One thing about LA, we sure do love the ones that can pull off crazy stoner style. Joon, member of the rap collective Overdoz, is that guy. He’s a real-life cartoon character, spilled out of a hot-boxed trippy van on to the streets of LA dripping in a swirl of colors. Just standing next to him on the corner of Fairfax & Rosewood you get a contact high from his outfit alone. Joon rules. He is every single fun, trippy, colorful thing there is to love about Los Angeles rolled in to one person.

Occupation: Actor

Leo has earned his stripes as a legendary actor, and his style just gets better and more classic with age. Even his just-going-to-sit-front-row-at-a-Laker-game look has swagger to it, simply because he exudes that “yeah, I’m a legend now” aura.

Occupation: artist, director and art curator



Director of the documentary Beautiful Losers and associate curator for "Art In The Streets" at the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art (MoCA), Rose is a staple in the art community. His style is as tasty as the art he surrounds himself with, often seen with his signature hat matched with a snazzy relaxed suited up look.

Occupation: Barber, Jewelry designer



Ibn Jasper started out as Kanye West's barber, but his studded leather bracelets put him on the style map. Catch him skating and biking on Rosewood, Fairfax, and Melrose rocking better Jordans than you.

Occupation: Musician, Spoken Word Artist



The dude has too many “titles” to list! Best known as front man for Black Flag, Rollins has become a true modern day renaissance man with talents ranging from spoken word poet to publisher to radio host to activist. There is not a single living legend in LA that exemplifies true LA street style more than Henry Rollins. The hippie-punk-surf-skate-tattooed thing he has going on is the modern day version of the wild west cowboy. He’s the man’s man that the women STILL gush over.

Occupation: DJ for Spank Rock, Producer for Mobroder



Hoff’s appearance fits the radiant spirit of his mixes. He brings the party without making you feel like you need to douse yourself in holy water the next day. Those nights where you drag yourself out to a Hollywood nightclub, only to wake up the next morning to a string of photos sent to you by your friends of you dancing on the table, the couch, the waitress, etc. are usually orchestrated by him.

Occupation: Pro-skater



Compton Ass Terry skates with swag and he's been doing it way better and longer than Trukfit-ed Weezy. The LBC native designs his own sneakers for SUPRA and has his own clothing line, Fly Society.

Occupation: Director, Visual artist



Lynch created cult masterpieces with projects like Twin Peaks, Wild At Heart and Mulholland Drive and his style mirrors the same ethereal, dignified and dreamy vibe as his visual endeavors do. Hands down has the illest debonair hair style in the game.

Occupation: Baseball player, LA Dodgers

Ask almost any girl in LA who a stylish athlete is, and she will most certainly name Matt Kemp. Some don’t even know what team he is on or what position he plays, but they will tell you two things: he’s hot and he knows how to dress. Good for you, Matt.

Occupation: Rapper, Producer, Odd Future, MellowHype



Left Brain IS the epitome of the next generation of LA street style. Everything is mismatched Supreme and crazy vintage from head to toe, but it is put together with such a blatant “don’t give a fuck” approach that it actually works. Every awesomely crazy look he busts out with is always matched with a smile. Seriously, the dude is genuinely happy. In a town where smiles come as fake as the tans, Left Brain shines in whatever he throws together.

Occupation: Point Guard, LA Clippers



Maybe it’s because the Clippers kicked more ass this season than they have in … well, forever… But there sure has been a lot of shine on Chris Paul’s style lately, both on and off the court. Often referred to as the “best dressed” in the NBA over the past season we sure hope he keeps it up and doesn’t bring all those druthers to the Knicks.

Occupation: Design Director/Co-Founder, Crooks & Castles

A great way to spot a sharp dresser that is committed to personal style is to peep how they look on the second day of a trade show. Emil is one of those very rare individuals that arrives bright and early, looking dapper with absolutely no trace of the debauchery that took place the night before. Hair is always perfect, outfit is always banging and not one detail is overlooked despite the fact he may (or may not) be running on a half hour of sleep.

Occupation: Actor

He rose to sex symbol status back in the day mostly because of his intense role in Bram Stoker’s Dracula, but he has evolved to a more cultured and dignified awesome-dad-style with an air of “this is all so funny to me.” It’s what still makes this acting legend so charming. Something for the kids to aspire towards.

Occupation: owner/designer/curator FourTwoFour on Fairfax

Every stylish rapper and actor you can think of has set foot in Guillermo’s upscale (yet very cool) store, which is known for it’s rotating collection of crazy vintage designer and rare old-school streetwear finds, most of which Guillermo keeps hidden in the back for the true G’s. He embodies what draws so many to the shop with his personal style. At first glance, he looks like he is rocking a contemporary relaxed street style, but upon closer inspection it is clear that the outfit (with it’s mix of rare pieces and designer vintage) could pay your rent for a solid 6 months.

Occupation: Rapper, Producer



Polyester the Saint is quickly taking over as the new up-and-coming rapper/producer in LA—he's been producing Dom Kennedy since the beginning, in addition to making his own tracks. His style is being adopted as quickly as his music. He stays styled out in vintage finds and rare Japanese items, but always adds a laid back LA element with some Slauson Swapmeet pieces.

Occupation: DJ, Producer, Musician



With residencies at some of the most notable hipster bars in LA—The Standard LA, The Echo, etc.—Clifton Weaver has cultivated a vibe via his music selections that match his personal style… retro funk and refined suave.

Occupation: Singer, Eagles of Death Metal



By the looks of him you would never guess that he is a former speechwriter for the Republican Party, huh? Well, he was. But Hughes is now best known for his quintessential eclectic rock star style as the front man for the rock group Eagles Of Death Metal. He evokes the spirit of the '50s bad boy in his look but still throws in just enough punk badass to make it work.

Occupation: Surfer, Singer in Japanese Motors, Artist



Well known for his blithe style both on and off the board, Alex embodies the ultimate modern day California surfer guy… with a dash of everything there is to love about the Eastside of Los Angeles. Like putting Kelly Slater, Beck and Flea in a blender. Not to mention the guy is a ripping surfer and has his own collection with RVCA.

Occupation: Owner/Designer, Mister Freedom



His Mister Freedom brand (and namesake store on Beverly Blvd) is well known for timeless high quality garments and impeccable attention to detail. Christophe’s style reflects the same. Well-tailored denim, a few key vintage pieces and an overall well-accessorized polished look.

Occupation: Singer



Known for his soul-filled songs with a conscious tone, Aloe possesses an overall style that is as cultured, debonair and snazzy as his music.

Occupation: Stylist, Designer



Among the top name to roll off people’s tongues when asked who is the most stylish in LA, Glen is one of those guys you see out in some original avant-garde ensemble on a Monday night, and within a week every trendy rapper is mimicking his style. Not only is he the creative director of Tyga's streetwear brand Last Kings Clothing, he is now working on building his own design and creative consulting company. Big things to come from this kid.

Occupation: Actor



No one can pull off the stylish nerd look quite like Schwartzman. He’s the former boy next door that somehow has racked up the whos-who list of hot indie girls by having a great sense of humor, an impeccable sense of style and a shit-ton of charm. He has singlehandedly given hope to every hip, short LA industry type guy in LA.

Occupation: Co-owner/Designer of Black Scale



As one of the founders of the brand Blackscale, and the “face” of the brand, Mega’s style is a mix of high-end streetwear and designer pieces. He can often be seen decked out in all black with an amazing collection of Alexander McQueen accessories adorning his tattooed hands. His brand reflects his style and the recent addition of a full cut & sew collection have taken the line from yet another streetwear t-shirt brand to a more contemporary street-influenced brand, with big hip-hop cosigns to prove it.

Occupation: Singer



A true legend with an undeniable style that has never gone out of style. He has been the Godfather of rock style for decades. Seriously, what the hell else can you say about him? He is a fashion icon for an entire genre of music.

Occupation: Rapper



LA has been aware of Kendrick’s extreme talent for a minute, but very recently he has really taken the rest of the world by storm. Kendrick throws some Compton in his style mix and sets himself apart from every other on-the-rise rapper. Lately he has really been dressing like the next king of hip-hop he is destined to become.

Occupation: Pro-Skater, Artist, Designer

Dill is one of those good looking white dudes that could easily blend into the canvas of LA… until you look down at his shoes, realize he has on what might be the only known pair of a collab between his brand, Fucking Awesome, and a well known sneaker company. This sparks up a fiery, opinionated conversation and you quickly realize this guy is a work of art all on his own. Not to mention he's a living legend on a skateboard.

Occupation: Rapper, Machina Muerte



Known as the dapper OG of “the block” (Fairfax), his style is a mix of latin gangster, urban grandpa and indie rocker. He has helped both the fashion and music scene of Fairfax blossom in to what it is today. His music may be on the gritty and edgy side, but he never steps out of the house looking anything less than polished.

Occupation: DJ, Producer, Founder of Mad Decent



With his musical enterprises Diplo is no stranger to initiating new trends. His work with M.I.A. is what put the spotlight on Diplo, but is his recent GQ editorial and ad campaign with Alexander Wang that have thrown him in to the role of “stylish trendsetter.”

Occupation: Model, Designer, One half of the Peas & Carrots Movement



Anwar’s dreadlocks were mentioned in Tyler The Creator’s song “Yonkers” and overnight he became a style icon in Los Angeles. Featured in many notable brand’s lookbooks and ad campaigns, he defines suave classic streetwear style while kicking off trends that every kid emulates. One photo of his Timbs posted to his tumblr account instantly changed the direction of footwear for an entire flock of dudes in LA.

Occupation: Owner, Fresh Jive, Warriors of Radness



The way Rick dresses you can never tell if he’s been at a rave for two days, just stepped off a yacht, or stumbled across some European tourists lost luggage. Then you talk to him, he tells you some insane story about his week, and you realize all of the above are true. He can truly pull off anything.

Occupation: Celebrity Kid



Ok, yes, he is only 6 years old, but the uber-stylish child of Gwen Stefani & Gavin Rossdale has more style than most grown ups in LA… combined. The pint sized style superstar has set more trends than any legit celebrity. Every time he’s photographed in a new “look”, overzealous soccer moms in LA flock to Fred Segal Kids to copy the look for their own little Kingston knock-offs.

Occupation: Founder, UNDFTD



He may not be THE James Bond, but in LA… he actually kind of is. He fits the “Bond” name with effortless style that is a mix of classic preppy and sophisticated cool. But throw in full sleeve tattoos done by Mr. Cartoon peeking out of designer button up shirtsleeves and you’ve got that lil dash of thug that makes for his own “Bond” bona fide LA style.

Occupation: Singer

Hanni’s look is best described as polished grunge swagger… super smooth but still rugged, much like his music. His buzz has been big over the past year, expect to see and hear more from this guy.

Occupation: Actor



The thing that makes Robert Downey Jr. so stylish is the fact he is a survivor. Dude has been through some SHIT in his life and made it through to the other side to find more success than ever before. Yes, he can put on a designer suit like the best of them, but there is something in his eyes that defines his style more than anything he wears. He is the Hollywood story that everyone expected to end in tragic Hollywood style, but he beat the odds and that glimmer of “you thought wrong, bitches” is what makes him so radiant.

Occupation: Singer



Anytime the Biebs is brought up among a group of guys, there is ALWAYS a string of haterisms that follow. (Usually this is a direct result of girlfriends playing “Girlfriend” on repeat. For days.) You may or may not be a fan of his music, but the kid can carry a look. He has become far more stylish in his old age (18) and is slowly breaking out of what a well-paid stylist picks for him and is starting to show his own personal style. Beiber isn’t going anywhere; he’ll just get better looking, more stylish and more iconic. Get used to it, haters.

Occupation: TV Personality, Restaurateur, Entrepreneur



He may not be the most beloved guy on “reality” tv, but he sure is the one everyone loves to hate. Despite his reputation of being a douchebag, he does indeed dress very well. His style is a throwback to the slick Hollywood studio execs and playboy actors from eras gone by. Back when reality shows didn’t exist and only industry insiders knew who the douchebags were.

Occupation: Skater



Alex is also a model and photographer and other cool shit… but skating is really what he’s known for. His style has been described as “hipster” but he has way too much ingenuity to ever be placed in that category. Watch one of his skate videos. It’s pretty clear the dude isn’t carrying around a board as an accessory. His style is indeed often emulated by many a hipster, never quite duplicated.

Occupation: Songwriter, Singer



Frank Ocean is one of those poetic and radiant guys that could trade outfits with a homeless guy in downtown LA and STILL look stunning. Doesn’t matter if he’s in sweatpants & a tee in the studio or a well-tailored suit on stage, he oozes style. It just comes from within.

Occupation: Designer, Founder of FUCT



Established in 1991, FUCT was one of the original (and now legendary) streetwear brands to emerge from the 90’s. FUCT never followed trends… it set them. For two decades, many have followed the lead set by FUCT. Eric continues to go against what is “trendy” with both the brand itself and his own personal style. He’s bringing back “man shit” with his look these days… kind of a rugged-bearded-american-biker-bluecollar-craftsman style. In a sea of snapbacks, rolled up crop pants and neon shit, his look is much needed and greatly appreciated. Let’s hope history repeats itself and guys follow his lead and start dressing like… well… men again.

Occupation: Actor



His most recent role in The Dark Knight is going to catapult him in to the A-list actor club and the way he has been dressing lately proves he is ready to be “next.” He has already mastered the suave style that an up-and-coming legend in the making should have, but he tops it all off with that smirk of his. It always makes him look like he might be up to no good, which in turn makes him that much more stylish.

Occupation: Designer



As creator/designer of emerging brand Mookee by Yuske, Yuske is quickly becoming the buzzed about “it guy” in LA. Rappers and athletes are doing whatever they can to get their hands on his exclusive branded tees, hats and one-of-a-kind customized vintage pieces. His style is completely unique as most of what he wears are his own one-of-a-kind custom designs. A Dickies style button-up made of vintage cotton Simpson’s bedsheets? Yeah, not too many people in LA can pull that one off, but Yuske does so effortlessly.

Occupation: Rapper, Odd Future



Thank the Odd Future frontman for making LA's signature skate style known to the masses. Graphic tees, cut-off shorts, tube socks, and Vans have long been the uniform for West Coast board pushers, and Tyler's flipped it with lots of Supreme, vintage, and OFWGKTA gear to create a distinct signature style.

Occupation: Owner, Union LA



Chris’ store has heavily influenced the higher end and exclusive streetwear market in Los Angeles with his legendary shop. His style is always on point and often begets the questions “where did you get that?” and “who makes those?” Catch him mixing coveted brands like Junya and Visvim with Levi's and vintage militaria like it's nobody's business.

Occupation: Pro soccer player, LA Galaxy



Now that he lives in LA, we can claim him as one of our own… Sure, he has style on the field but Beckham with his cleaned up bad boy look and all those tattoos tucked in to a well-tailored suit? Nothing compares. We’re just going to overlook that whole white-boy-with-cornrows thing he did back in the day.

Occupation: Rapper, Actor

Kid Cudi's versatility as an artist is embodied perfectly in his eclectic style. Not every guy can mix vintage rock tees and well-beaten Dior jeans with the illest new Jordans and heritage preppy brands like GANT Rugger—and his own collection of leathers from Surface to Air. No wonder Kanye tapped Cudi to join the stylish ranks of G.O.O.D. Music. L.A. style is all about the effortless mix of Rock and Roll, streetwear, and Rodeo Drive designers—nobody does it better than Cudi.
