Fashion man of the week- Tinie Tempah

To be honest this post is completely wrongly titled, it should be titled 'Fashion man of the year, every year' because for me that's exactly what Tinie Tempah is, i'd probably even go as far as saying he's in my opinion one of the best dressed men in music/fashion.

His perfectly balanced combination of street style and classic designer tailoring is key and never fails to excite me when i see pictures in the press. Once quoted as saying he always flys long haul wearing a Ralph Lauren tracksuit and his favourite luggage is Louis Vuitton, can we blame him, i mean yeh it sounds a bit like high end typical tack but wouldn't it be most peoples guilty pleasures if they could afford it? And if Burberry's very own Christopher Bailey has given his stamp of approval, with Tinie popping up in the front row at LFW shows, who are we to judge?

No doubt he makes some risky choices in the fashion stakes but definitely exsudes the swagger ( yes i hate that word but there is no better use for it) to pull it off. From the bright red suit he was pictured in at a London collections: Men party in 2013 to an extremely choice orange puffer style tracksuit i once saw him on tv wearing all can be forgiven because it just works. It's probably even more enticing that he actually knows about fashion and takes a genuine interest, he has his own fashion label under the same name as his record company 'Disturbing London' which he designed some of the clothing for himself.

Watch the video below to see him talk a bit more about his eclectic style with another one of my fashion favourites, Reggie Yates.
