When it comes to Trey Songz, it’s no secret that the Grammy nominated singer has a legion of female fans. His career-making music has been based off appealing to women’s emotions with sex fueled, player-ish type lines with the occasional “Okay, so I’m ready to settle down now” motif in songs.
In addition to female fans, Songz also has a bevy of males who may not just like his songs, but his style to boot.
With a more slender-cut body type, Songz can get away with most clothing he wears. However, that doesn’t mean he’s exempt from certain looks that brings out his best.
Check out a few words on Songz style of choice hosted by GQ:
On having a few “good” suits out a collection of many:
It’s not about having a plethora of suits, but having a few good ones. It’s all about fit. The contour of your body. If your shoulders are broad, you shouldn’t have shoulder pads. If you’re not a big man, you shouldn’t have extra space. I think it’s definitely worth having it properly fitted. You owe it to yourself to know what it’s supposed to look like. If you wear a suit and it’s tailored to perfection, you’ll love it.
If you want an escape from the suit look or just rock a style without the jacket, check out Songz during the 2010 Bet Awards:
Dressed in Devon Scott, Songz sports a tailored button up shirt and a vest followed by a lapel pin. Lapel pins adds a nice accent to blazers, suit jackets and vests. Now lapel pins ain’t just floating around your favorite stores all willy-nilly. If you’re not big on online shopping, try your local Macy’s for a good one. For those of you who do find comfort behind online shopping, LordandTaylor.com offers great varieties in pins.
On watch rockin’ regardless of attire:
Always wear a good watch, no matter what if you are wearing a suit or sweats. A good watch will hold value over time. It’s not about the brightest or the biggest diamonds, it’s about quality mechanisms, the heritage of the company you’re buying it from. I have ten watches but I probably only wear four consistently.
For the man who likes to stay budget friendly, Macy’s is still a good choice for suit accessories. Also, check out Nordtroms online for some great deals to fit your pockets.
On appreciating dressing down versus always being dressed up:
I think clothes are very much a representation of your attitude and the way you feel. I really love to be dressed down, though. If I could, I’d prefer to wear a white t-shirt and basketball shorts and some trainers [every day].
One version of Songz ‘dress down’ days can consist of an easy black tea and black jeans. One good recommendation for us fellas is all-black tees from Sean John at a Marshalls or Macy’s. The black lasts longer after being washed.
If you’re of a thinner build like Songz, Levi’s skinny black jeans will work well in your favor. And for those of you with a thicker build, try Levi’s 514 jeans or even relaxed fit black chinos. Top it off with a contrasting shoe or keep it simple with all black high-top.
Songz is currently on tour with chart-topper Chris Brown for “Between the Sheets.” They will have nine dates remaining after yesterday’s stop in Atlanta. No word yet if any other dates will be added, but in the meantime cop your tickets here.
