Teddy Ruxpin stays with a questionable steez so we’re happy GQ finally offered the man some free advice. Our homies at GQ sent over this feature on The-Dream, check out the excerpts below: When Terius Nash, a.k.a. The-Dream, isn’t writing and producing mega-hits like Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies” or Rihanna’s “Umbrella,” he’s dropping solo albums (IV Play came out in May). But for a brilliant man, he’s made some bad style choices. Witness Jay-Z’s Grammy dis (“I would like to thank the swap meet for his hat”). Or Google “The-Dream wedding outfit.” The mistake he makes is one a lot of peacocky guys commit: too much of everything. “I’ll go into Bergdorf and see a piece that’s beautiful,” he says. “It may look tacky with my jeans, but I don’t give a fuck.” Speaking of that extra-extra-relaxed-fit denim, it was the first to go. We kept The-Dream in big labels like Band of Outsiders, Dolce & Gabbana, and John Varvatos—he is a megastar, after all—but everything is understated. “The Louboutin sneakers exude what’s hood of me, but with a high-life feeling,” he says. Even for guys who have Tom Ford taste on a Topman budget, there’s no shame in dressing with a little swagger. Just be sure people talk about you for the right reasons. What do you think now, Jay? Do you like The-Dream’s new look? Peep a video of the makeover below: Hit up GQ for their style rules HERE Photo Credit: Eric Ray Davidson / GQ.
