WHO GQ’D IT: KANYE OR COMMON

FEELIN THE ORANGE LEATHER!

Kanye is always fresh!

Kanye’s glasses kills the style…Common wins hands down

i like kanye’s outfit better. Common’s jacket is hurtin my eyes…

@ #2

I second that.

Kanye’ actually got it for me this time. That jacket is way to young for Common.

COMMON IS FINE AS WINE..HE IS THE BOMB, CAN’T DO NO BETTER….

Commom minus that tight ass bright orange jacket!

Not crazy about the glasses but I’ll say Kanye. Dnt really like Common’s jacket…

some of u chicks really need to start flippin thru your vogue magazine and gq and stop shoppin at stores like rainbow and wet seal tryin to give a fashion opinion (to #8)

Kanye always looks good…he prides himself on what he got on..common has really stepped his game up as well..they both look nice…

both look nice and GQ, but im gonna hafta give it to common since im a bigger fan of hist and bc he’d most likely take the compliment modestly, unlike someone else! lol

regardless of what common wears, his style and appeal make anything look good. kanye has great style too and he looks good. kudos to both, but common is a sexy beast

Kanye Baby

im giving it to kanye…part of good fashion is also about looking comfortable. although i like common’s orange jacket, it doesnt seem to be tailored to fit him correctly. can he zip it??? plus the neck tie is bluh and doesnt compliment the overall look. now thats just “my opinion.”

Common is sooooo fiiiiiinnneee!!! What a yummy delicious man

Common’s pants are too type for me,he looks like a cowboy Michael Jackson from the neck down. Kanye has mastered the GQ, his look is cohesive and he wears it well.

Common’s pants are too tight. -that’s what i meant

i voted them both!..lol
but common it looking mighty fine!!!!

Preach on #10 preach on! It’s about time as a people we expand our fashion horizons beyond what is forced upon us by lower end retail chains… We must rise to the fashion occasion =) You don’t have to spend a million dollars to express yourself through personal style just be creative , and this is why I celebrate both Kanye and especially Common’s outfits. THEY BOTH GQ’D IT!

Common sexy as hell!!! lovin his overal look, is dat tie leather??? dnt care he looks hella gd stil!!
kanye’s jeans r too good!!! man knowing his look!!

i say dey both look gd!!!!!

One caveat to my previous comment, both of them probably did spend a tight grip on those particular outfits! =)

KANYE his whole outfit comes together nicely

common got this boo!

Common did it . But I have to give it to Kanye he was on point too. I actually like both of their styles but what gives it charater is the swagger they both have about themselves.

Kanye.

Common’s jacket looks a lil snug. Not a good look!

I’ll give it to Kanye, he rocked it, but I’ll also give it to Common, in more ways then one…heh heh! Both look fly!

Both look crazy ass hell !

Common got it hands down!!….Then again he can step out in a leotard and combat boots with a feather in his cap and I’d love it…He’s just that fly

CLEARRRRRLY COMMON WINS THIS….KANYE’S PANTS ARE TOO BIG, WHAT ARE THOSE CLUNKY SHOES HE HAS ON, THAT TIRED ASS STRIPED BLAZER (WHICH IS ALSO TOO BIG), AND THAT EXTRA TIRED LV SCARF….HIS BELT IS CUTE BUT THOSE GLASSES AND HIS FACE AND LIPS ALWAYS LOOK SCRUFFY…MAYBE IM CRAZY BUT ONES FACE ALSO MATTERS IN WHO GQD IT BETTER….

COMMON ON THE OTHER HAND WEARS THAT JACKET VERY WELL! YES #10, YES! SOME OF THESE CHICKS SHOP AT RAINBOW AND BCBG AND WET SEAL AND THINK THEY KNOW HAUTE COUTURE. THE ONLY REASON THEY PICK KANYE IS BECAUSE HE’S SEEN MORE CONSISTENTLY WEARING LABELS…COMMON IS ROCKING THE SHIT OUTTA THAT JACKET, AND COMMON ACTUALLY HAS A BOODDDDDYYYY SO YES HE CAN WEAR MORE FITTED CLOTHES. ITS NOT TOO YOUNG. ALSO COMMONS LIPS AND SKIN LOOK MORE FRESH AS THOUGH HE ACTUALLY DRINKS WATER DURING THE WEEK!

TAKE NOTE FELLAS, THIS IS THE TIME TO LET GO OF THE BEER, BEER GUT AND DEHYDRATED SKIN ARE NOT CUTE IN THE SUMMER!

Kanye, easily.
Somewhere between that skinny tie, those dressy shoes and that “beat it” jacket, Common went wrong.

They should have switched shoes. Kanye has it over all.

KANYE!!!

AND JUST FOR DETAIL… IF YOU ACTUALLY LOOK IN THE MAGAZINE GQ FOR ME YOU WOULD SEE COMMON
if yall knew fashion yall would look beyond the overall look (which is poorly expressed by kanye)…..and + to say who GQ’d it better shouldnt we go off of GQs style tips????

kanye
1. those fake reading glasses are so childish and 90s…which was in last summer!
2. the blazer was thrown away after the Usher era
3. jeans are ok (could have fit better)
4. nice lv scarf but damn couldnt it have @ least matched the belt since the shoes dont and are randomly white
5. and when you have a certain size shoes (which kanye seems to have large feet) you just cant wear anything…those shoes are too bulky…come on isnt this PARIS fashion week….2nd most sought after Milan…..?

common on the other hand
1. has on a leather tie
2. classic oxford (which is italian cut)
3. belt matches shoes (has to be in the same color family)
4. has on wingtips!
5.indigo denim (could have been more tailored but kanyes fit worse)
THAT’S fashion

and then CL switched Commons* the picture which the jacket* first appeared ORANGE now appears RED, and jeans appear lighter (which actually works better for the outfit). Common has a more chic style while kanyes is more over the top. For a MAN i think over the top is over done w kanyeezi

I’m sorry Common looks good but I’m not feeling that tight ass thriller jacket he’s rocking as well as that small ass tie he look like he borrowed from Gary Coleman.

@ 34. Yeah, they just released new photos of Common from the event, so I switched it real quick. It’s basically the same though, but the lighting was different. If you zoom up on the jacket it appears to be a redish-orange. So either/or is suffice.

CL yall cant post Who GQd it better when most of these ppl dont know whats in style….lmao wtf….i bet if kanye had on that big ass windsor knot tie and a fur coat theyd say he did it!!! LMAO

hahahaha #10 and 29!!! true true and you got the stores on point for the low budget haute couture…hehe… The jeans look good on Kanye and Common but I hate the skinny tie… whaaaaaaaaaaa… I hated them when they were out! lol… Pulease don’t bring the skinny tie back…. on a whole I am feeling both looks well minus the skinny tie..lol..

Both look nice.

If Kanye had on that tight ass thriller jacket I’d say the same thing. Sorry that’s just my opinion.

And for all the people who are pointing fingers saying “one doesn’t know fashion” let’s see how you dress??

I hope you aren’t calling the kettle black because that’s what people on CL are famous for.

BOTH..im all about that G.O.O.D. Music baby!

what kind of jacket is common wearing. who makes it?

i thought common’s jacket was red not orange, but maybe I’M color blind

anyhoo, i thought long & hard & i had to just give it up to both of em…they both wear the jeans well & in their OWN individual way.

Kanye definitly won dis battle!!

Kanye West Looks Hawt!!!! He Oozez GQ!!!

they both are wonderful! and both look gooood

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOve Kanye outfit it what I like try something new but still keep it as I would like to say HOOD! He’s like me he like sneakers and pulls them off with wearing couture shyt. that’s wassup but am still orginal. Common looks like hes been in Hollywood to much I dont like his jeans nore shoes nore, tie UGH!
And that jacket was to damn bright of that day with no sun outside. Well that’s all.
Check it.

It’s not about what you rock but how you rock it! So F what you broads think wet seal is that ish. They both look stylish though.

COMMON IS SEXY AS A HOT BACON IN TE MORNIN

BUT KANYE GQ’D IT WITH THE SCARF.

THEY BOTH ALWAYS KILL IT

I have seen a lot of comments on here about the “rules” of fashion, who knows “haute couture” and who doesn’t, who has more fashion knowledge, so on and so forth. Everyone knows, at the end of the day, that fashion is what you make, not matter who steps up and steps out and says this is in or this is out. So, if you look at it from that point of view, no one is truly wrong in light that everyone is entitled to their respective opinion. So before you break out the Oxford Rules of Fashion, let me lay down the ONLY REAL RULES that apply:

1. Everything comes back in style eventually, and goes back out again. It is a continuous circle.
2. Fashion, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder
3. And the final most important rule, Wear what makes you feel good about yourself and makes you feel comfortable.

Before you judge others opinions, style of dress, or places they purchase their “fashion” from, try to think about the REAL RULES.

Class, dismissed.

@ 51, thank you!!

@rhapsody now you’re just being nice. you KNOW that there are ppl who constantly dress horribly and your rules let them off too easily.

no one who shops @ wet seal and the other places mentioned should be talking like they know fashion. end of story. those stores suck and have no originality. following trends to a T and on a cheap cheap budget does not a fashionista make.

now on to these dudes. they both look good. common just looks more fashion forward b/c like someone else stated, kanye is following trends that were JUST out. yes fashion is cyclical and things come back but there is a resting period bet. these fashion ages and kanye semms to not understand the resting period part.

I wanna know who makes common’s jacket too

swizz beatz had the same jacket but in a different color on in the “It’s me snitches” video. I wanna know who makes it. Its hot. Does look just alittle snug on common.

The problem I have with Common’s outfits is since he put the weight on it doesn’t fit his body. He should wear more relazed fitting stuff. It doesn’t have to be real baggy.

Kayne’s outfit it better because it fits better.

okay to number 51 and 52..u obviously must shop at the stores mentioned cuz u were in you’re feelings.

The comments were mainly to people who are stuck in a box..talkin bout they jackets are too small…jeans are too tight..and whatever..those people are followers and dress how they are told..which was what the wholecomment was about in the first place.

Hence..why they shouldnt be makin comments about how anyone is dressed when they have no original point of view to begin with.

# 51 i def feel u
# 53 r u saying that u have to spend a lot of money in order to be a fashionista and that u cant shop cheap. I’ve found a few nice pieces of clothing at stores like wet seal and forever 21 but i agree stores like that tend to be trendy ….speaking for myself im far from trendy

fashion is what u make it i love the thought of pairing up a 10 dollar blouse with 150$ shoes or making it look like i have on a 900$ outfit when i actually bought all my clothing articles at a thrift store.

Fashion is a form of self expression…4 me anyway

with that being said i loooooove Common and his “sense” ( haha get it) of style but i prefer Kanye’s look this time

Common’s jeans just ruined it for me.

#57 i do think Common looks uncomfortable in that jacket , i think it would have looke d better if it were more tailored, it does look small….i dont have anything against “tight” close i actually prefer the fitted look but i dont think the fit is very flattering on him idk what it is because he doesn’t look bad..the color compliments him well i guess i have just seem him look better
