Cute Fashionable Boys: Fonzworth, Shwayze and Ibn

Posted Aug 21st 2008 8:38PM by Esther Dixon
Filed under: Lifestyle, Style Spotter

There is just something about those boys who dress to impress with Sean John blazers, tailored-fit pants and raw silk ties. And there is something so simply, sexy about those Cali boys who can throw on a vintage tee, a pair of baggy, skinny jeans and Converse sneakers without socks, with little ease. And of course who can forget the boys who bring fashion to the masses, with their intricate wrapped scarves, b-boy style-80s-freshness and Louis Vuitton accessories.

Style maniac Fonzworth Bentley, new artist Schwayze and fashion sensi to Kanye West, Ibn Jasper are the fashion boys of the moment. They each bring a fashion approach to dressing, which this Style Spotter so appreciates. What do you think?

Fonzworth Bentley

Shwayze

Ibn Jasper

As the current host of MTV's new show from G's to Gents, Bentley continues to serve us with impeccable style. The exquisite fit of his clothing, the smart way he brings his ensemble together and his genuine fierceness has allowed Bentley to be one of the best dressed men in Hip Hop.

Shwayze is most definitely the cute, new boy on the block. He has partnered with Cisco Adler, (Google him. Trust me, his bio will give you a "long" giggle,) to create a fantastic whimsical album made for summertime loving and endless partying. Why? "Just because," would most likely be Shwayze's answer for almost any question posed to him. Shwayze has that same unapologetic attitude towards his style. Keep it simple, easy, laid back and let it flow. His self-titled album came out this week and he is currently the star of Buzzin', an MTV reality show of Shwayze and his group of friends trying to make it in the music industry.

Cisco Adler on the right

Not many of you would know who Ibn Jasper is, but he is one dope dude to watch since he is Kanye West's Image Consultant. Ibn recently did an interview for Limite Magazine where he stated: "My new thing is that I want to be so fresh that it offends people. I want people to feel a little disrespected when I show up with the clothes I have on." Indeed.

3. i think that it's good to be diffrent. Fonzworth is that

4. I feel this is the other way around, you two have to stop!!! Bentley is a style Beast!!! He is one of the kings of style right now. Say what you want aabout his white pants, but tuns of guys are jocking his whole entire look. With the pants and all. The kid Shwayze,just popped up on the scene. His style is straight. He looks like every other kid who decided to go into streetwear. Really to be honest he hasn't made the leaps and boundries that Ibn and bentley have, when style is concerned. Further more I don't really think he cares.But Ibn and Bentley are true tastemakers. They set the pace for what you see on the streets and in the club Please, get real!!! FuZz
