Trend Alert: A Touch Of Ska
Lil Wayne in KR3W
As featured in this month’s issue of Complex magazine, ska style is making its way back this season and we want to show you how to get the look!
A tad edgier than the skater look and more relaxed than your typical punk rocker, the ska trend stems from a music genre that falls between rocksteady and reggae, with roots from Jamaica.
The beauty is that it infuses so many different styles together – rock, hip hop, goth, skate and more!
Think back to when No Doubt first came out with that fun laid back west coast style.

Lil Wayne has been spotted rocking this trend, as you can see in the top image where he’s rocking KR3W pants with a silver chain wallet and classic Converse All Stars.
You can wear this look playfully like him, using bold colors like red and yellow with cargo pants, cool button downs and graphic tees:
Spunkir Stripe and Check S/S Shirt by Diesel
Dreddy Rock Tee by Riddim Driven
Or dress it up a bit more “mod” twist, using accessories like skinny ties, fedora hats, etc.:
Kane Overdyed Woven by KR3W, Ricky Straight Leg Jean by True Religion, Ponti Premium by Creative Recreation
Are you feeling the ska style this fall?
I don’t get it. Why don’t yall carry Thug Life Clothing ?? They been in small shops for years, but if you move to a new city it’s hard to find it. Just bein real. I still wear they old stuff cos its worth the reaction of folks to see the phrase. But old folks don’t understand the philiosophy of Thug Life, which is not being a criminal at all. its like a secret society. only us in hip hop know what Thug Life means. Yall should carry it.
