In a recent ESSENCE interview, Afrobeats star Adekunle Gold opened up about his approach to fashion, revealing an eclectic, expressive style driven by a love for bold colors and statement pieces.

Gold’s diverse influences are evident in his wardrobe choices. He finds inspiration in the flamboyant energy of the 1970s, think flared trousers, vintage denim, and oversized sunglasses, while also incorporating a playful 90s vibe with graphic tees.

The artist recently shared a few standout purchases, including a versatile Marine Serre tank top, a unique pearl necklace by Marco Panconesi, and eye-catching pieces like Y/Project Paris boots, Marni X RETROSUPERFUTURE sunglasses, and Martine Rose loafers. His collection also boasts a statement vinyl jacket from Courrèges and a modern, edgy Mugler blazer.

Adekunle Gold’s fashion philosophy centers around self-expression and experimentation. He’s drawn to pieces that resonate with him regardless of trends. His background in art influences this sense of freedom in his sartorial choices. Gold sees his fashion sense as an extension of his music, bold, uninhibited, and packed with personality.
