Tyler, the Creator is not only known for his unique musicality but also his eccentric style. The popular hip-hop artist is often adorned with bright and zany patterns and prints. His fashion blurs the line between street style and high fashion through pairing vintage and skater pieces with designer brands. Ok, sometimes he serves us grandpa looks too and for some reason, it works? Moving on, Tyler, the Creator’s distinct look is characterized in his clothing brand, Golf Wang.
Golf Wang is the 2011 brainchild of Tyler, the Creator and his collective, Odd Future, according to an interview Tyler conducted with Vogue. It features classic Tyler garments such as vibrant, oversized t-shirts, patterned button-ups, and a variety of hats. The merch line also includes
Tyler’s iconic clout goggles and cozy crewnecks galore. Perhaps the most “Tyler” piece of clothing is the yellow button-up shirt with a striking tomato print created by Leonard Bianco.
Who doesn’t love various fruits on clothing?
On top of the expected items in the collection, Golf Wang includes non-traditional pieces such as a rubber stamp contraption that reads, “we’re all gonna die ,” a yellow dodge ball, and Golf Wang construction tape. I mean, are we surprised? For any other artist, these items may
appear to be random and unnecessary to the line; however, Golf Wang is personified through
the unconventional nature of items like the polka dot neck pillow. Tyler’s collaboration with SE
Bikes are represented through a muted yellow and pale blue bike and bike lock that matches a
racing tracksuit. On their own, the collection pieces would fail to create a comprehensive look but together, they encompass Tyler, the Creator’s brand.
Golf Wang continues to evolve as Tyler’s style shifts with each album era.
It encapsulates Tyler’s humorous personality while maintaining a trendy and quirky vibe. If you love Tyler, the Creator’s aesthetic, we at Jerk recommend checking out his merch. We never knew we needed oversized tees with giant Furbies on it until we saw it on Golf Wang.
