The 10 Most Stylish Rappers From Atlanta Right Now

The Thug Motivational speaker transitions between dressed-up and casual looks nicely, mostly thanks to a subdued color palette and luxe materials like embossed leather jackets and wool zip sweaters with leather piping. When he needs to clean up, Jeezy does it extremely well, pulling off midnight blue tuxedos with the best of them. That isn't to say his street cred is at stake—he'll still rock rugged denim looks and backwards snapbacks with appropriate matte black shades—no stunner shades for this classy dude.

Future may not exactly be a full-fledged style icon, but it's safe to say that he knows what he's doing when it comes to style. Relying on wardrobe staples of modern hip-hop: studded motorcyle jackets, Balenciaga sneakers, snapbacks, and camo military jackets, he comes off as one of those guys who's not into "fashion" per se, but just wears the clothes he has really well. And sometimes, that's even better than aspiring to be the best-dressed dude in the game.

Although he's come a long way from his Goodie Mob days, this rapper-turned-crooner remains a very stylish heavy-hitter. From studded red jackets to crocodile tracksuits and shiny hoodies, Cee-Lo isn't afraid to dress boldly. But even better, he knows how to tone things down, also being spotted in gear from streetwear brands like Crooks & Castles.

Although he's a relative newcomer to the scene, Trinidad James is already making waves for his style. He's already got style confidants in the Supreme crew, who kitted him out in some Spring/Summer 2013 gear on Saturday Night Live before the collection even dropped. He's also appeared in lookbooks for loud brands like Joyrich, and isn't afraid to wear bold patterns or bright red pants either. All gold everything? Nah, he just wears he wants.

Despite what you might think of his outlandish tattoos, Gucci's style hovers in that sweet spot between actually good and so crazy that it works. The big belly, ice cream cone chain, and undeniable attitude that screams "I just don't give a fuck" is really what makes Gucci Mane stylish. That he decides to wear Versace scarves around his head or designer sunglasses is merely the icing on the cake.

Although his OutKast partner is known as the flashier dresser, Sir Lucius Leftfoot is no sartorial lightweight. Given, he's readily adopted streetwear brands and baseball caps over Andre 3000's cardigans and blazers, but Big Boi knows how to dress to the nines when the occasion calls for it. Rather, he's the people's champion of style. He'll rock caps with the brims up, hipster glasses, and G-Shock watches like the rest of us. Except he'll throw a huge fur coat and expensive gold accessories to remind you that he can still stunt on everyone else in the room.

The King of the South knows that clothes make the man. That's why he named his clothing line Akoo (A King of Oneself). When it comes to getting dressed, T.I. manages to channel two sides, similar to his T.I. and T.I.P. personas, he can shift from suave, classy guy in a suit, to a rugged look appropriate for the streets. While he's known for his gravity-defying beanies and dog tag chain, what's evident is that he knows how he wants to present himself—whether it's as a businessman, or a former dope boy turned Southern rapper.

Style-wise, the artist formerly known as Tity Boi made great strides in improving his brand and more notably, his style. From his network TV acting debut to the killer cape he wore to the Grammys, 2 Chainz has shown he's not afraid to take risks, clothing or career-wise. As the True Religion and Versace fan continues to evolve into one of those rappers who absolutely kills it in formal wear, he's definitely putting Atlanta style on the map.

Though it's been a minute since he's been on the mic, there are still plenty of style tips any guy can glean off Mr. 3 Stacks. Even when he doesn't try to kill it, he does, as evidenced by his recent all-denim get up. Hopefully, when he has some down time from his "Gillette shit" he'll record some songs and retake the crown as hip-hop's most stylish rapper.

Although these days he goes by 3Krazy, he'll always be Young Dro, and he'll always stay "Polo Down." His dedication to Ralph Lauren (his most recent mixtape was called Ralph Lauren Reefa) and his consistent take on American sportswear and adoption of prep style make him one of ATL's best-dressed dudes.
