Celebrity Style: Ryan Leslie

By Emil Wilbekin Mar 19, 2009

Less is more for Ryan Leslie. He has a unique sound and a very cool style. The Harvard prodigy and modern Renaissance man (writer, producer, singer) dresses with ease and confidence. Leslie takes R&B classics and remixes it with verve and confidence, just like his look. He pairs tailored suits with simple dress shirts, v-neck t-shirts with leather jackets and always rocks oversized shades to punctuate his savvy style statement. It’s the perfect mix of simplicity and swagger. Check it:

    I *heart* Ryan Leslie. He graduated from Harvard at 19 years old, he’s talented, and good-looking. He’s like the total package. He’s the type of artist women should swoon over…

    I’m so mad I missed him in DC performing…I was at home for spring break :o (

    This is Cassie’s man ya’ll! Although he is not my “type” he definitely has swag and style. I’m starting to hear his name a lot these days so I assume he is another “behind the scenes” artist emerging (like Dream, Keri Hilson, and Ne-yo etc). I think after producing/writing for everyone else he knows exactly what’s a bamger and wnat’s not! All 3 songs sounded good to me but I-R-I-N-A was my fave :) .

    I like his style… he made it his own.. its good to see a well dressed gentlemen =)…ohh and you guys need to go check out the remix to HOW ITS SUPPOSED TO BE..it’s featuring Keri Hilson and its amazing.That was the first version i heard. To hear the original with a rock influence is interesting, nevertheless nice!

    He is definitely sexy. I love the conservative look. How can you knock that polished, tailored magnificence. His style is wonderful. Yet, I don’t really care for his sound…

  • 3-22-2009 12:58 am

    He’s hot, his style is hot, his songs are hot. That is, unless you’re for that typical thug, doesn’t read, can’t hold a conversation, baggy pants, ignorant cursing buffoon. If so, you can have them, I’ll take that smart, grown and sexy guy I can look at AND hold a decent convo with type like the man pictured there.

    GAG ME
    HATE THE PREPPY/CONSERVATIVE LOOK
    AND THAT HOW IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IS A STR8 UP ROCK SONG..ICK
    THE OTHER TWO SONGS ARE HOT THOUGH
    I DON’T FIND HIM SEXY AT ALL

  • 3-21-2009 9:27 pm

    Yeah he definitely has style. Baggy jeans are so high school. If you over 25 and still wearing big ass jeans kill yourself.
