WHO GQ’D IT: KANYE OR COMMON

Tuesday, March 4, 2008

( Photos: SPLASH NEWS )

Nothing feels better than rocking a fly fresh pair of jeans that they fit you just right. Check out good friends Kanye West and Common rocking some crisp jeans at recent events this week.

Kanye was spotted arriving at the Louis Vuitton fashion show in Paris on Sunday, rocking his jeans with a pin-stripped blazer, oh and don’t forget the LV scarf. Common was spotted arriving at a Cosmopolitan Magazine event in NYC on Monday, rocking his jeans with a leather jacket and tie. As always, ‘Who Gq’d It’???

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

10.

Someone pass me an ADVIL...

Tuesday, March 4, 2008 /

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…

11.

UM...I GUESS

Tuesday, March 4, 2008 /

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

12.

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

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.”

15.

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

16.

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.

17.

Tuesday, March 4, 2008 /

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

18.

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!

20.

doin me

Tuesday, March 4, 2008 /

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!!!!!

21.

miss barbados

Tuesday, March 4, 2008 /

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

22.

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.

25.

BEAUTY Q.T.

Tuesday, March 4, 2008 /

Kanye.

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

26.

Common Lady

Tuesday, March 4, 2008 /

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!

27.

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!

30.

Natural Mystique

Tuesday, March 4, 2008 /

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

31.

Dame

Tuesday, March 4, 2008 /

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

32.

TALKIN SHIT

Tuesday, March 4, 2008 /

KANYE!!!

darryl

Tuesday, March 4, 2008 /

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

34.

darryl

Tuesday, March 4, 2008 /

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

35.

TALKIN SHIT

Tuesday, March 4, 2008 /

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.

36.

ANGEL

Tuesday, March 4, 2008 /

@ 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.

37.

MickI Donnalds

Tuesday, March 4, 2008 /

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

38.

Ha

Tuesday, March 4, 2008 /

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..

40.

TALKIN SHIT

Tuesday, March 4, 2008 /

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

41.

TALKIN SHIT

Tuesday, March 4, 2008 /

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.

49.

Rhapsody

Tuesday, March 4, 2008 /

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.

54.

I wanna know who makes common’s jacket too

55.

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.

56.

Karatgold24

Tuesday, March 4, 2008 /

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.

57.

Someone pass me an ADVIL...

Tuesday, March 4, 2008 /

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.

58.

Jlove

Tuesday, March 4, 2008 /

# 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

59.

Common’s jeans just ruined it for me.

Tuesday, March 4, 2008 /

#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

61.

i mean they both look good duh!! but i love kanyes outfit to death….like seriously…that fit is dope.

64.

PROVOST...

Tuesday, March 4, 2008 /

I want them to switch jeans… I think better-fitting jeans look better with blazers and the like (or ANYTHING, really), and if you have a more relaxed pair, those leather jacket days are the time to rock em.

btw: COMMON’S JACKET IS FIE AS HELL!!!!!!

65.

Ne'

Tuesday, March 4, 2008 /

Ya’ll know I love me some common right, being that we are married and what not, but kanye looks sexier in this particular who g q’d it. His jeans are laying right on him and they are the perfect color on him. I like it when a man has on pants not so baggy and not so skinnyjeanish!

I would slam dunk ‘em both

66.

Mmmmm Mmmmmm Mmmmmm

Those are two sexy men…
GOD blessed them.

I like both! But Common’s Jacket, white top and black tie do something for me.

Then again, I can’t pass up a hot pair of clean kicks…Kanye knows how to rock em’

I love both of these men.

I wouldn’t care my yummy boo common graces me yet again with his fine self :) making my evening more splendid(takes a sips of wine while gazing at the beauty bestowed upon me) . I’ve always like ye style because yes its hip and of today’s fashion, but I guess now that I’m alil older now Common style personifies someone being laidback not giving in too the basic trends of today . However like others say with fashion you should want to be different . Common can wear a thong with a bell and tap shoes and I would still give him the time of day while I tip him with a dollar bill :) .I like both guys style shoot when I see sexy black men carrying themselves clean , proper and not wearing tight ass jeans( batty dem bwoy lol) or baggy trash jeans Im happy :)

Man serious question, I fear for Common’s health! Will his “bowling balls” become crushed if he continues to rock those skin tight Wranglers? Man it looks like he’s trying 2 circumcise himself with them tight Randy Travis jeans on! Kanye wins hands down!

82.

a.k.a. new yorker

Tuesday, March 4, 2008 /

@Jlove i said cheap cheap not cheap. i added the extra cheap to relate to low quality not really price. i just bought a dress for over $80 and it’s of less quality than a dress i bought for $30. that’s what i mean by cheap cheap. it’s more about quality than price

83.

Tuesday, March 4, 2008 /

I’m adamant that Kanye and most people think he’s flyer than he is BUT he rocked the shit outta this look…. the scarf game is mean!

Common, usually, fly as shit to me faltered this time. He’s giving me Omarion-skinny-jeans almost and that WON’T DO!

Girl #51 sit down, yes thank you for your moral support but no one asked you for that. The question was who GQd it better and as far as GQ I will have to give it to My boo Common. He looks sexy as hell but Kanye look ok. He is boring in this pic, Common gives me everything in that red jacket

I just read the comments with all these folks saying Common looks good….Ok you might think he’s cute as a person (not my type but hes not hard on the eyes…And Kanye is as ugly as hot homemade sin himself, but its not about that…) if you zip Common’s jacket up he’s gonna look like a friggin sausage.

C’mon…how we gonna call these looks fashion. I mean everyone wears jeans and some type of jacket almost everywhere going out. Why is it that when a celebrity wears it we gotta figure it’s fashion because it’s fashion week. Both guys look comfortable in the gear, and i could clearly look like either one myself as easily as anyone of you. But i would stop short of seeing one of these guys on the street or at fashion week, stop em in thier tracks and say…man your fashion sense is so hard, how can I get it like that? Why…so they can tell me, well all you gotta do is get some jeans, and a jacket and besides, this is what i wore on the plane, they lost my luggage and all my serious fashion gear was in that luggage!

Tuesday, July 15, 2008 /

Common!! He always looks better than kanye in my opinion…
Besides, if there’s any comparison between a man thats almost 10 years older than a fellow then they completely won! I give my gratitude to both COMmon and KanYE.
