MEET THE MALE MODEL WHO HAS TURNED THIS OFF DUTY DRESSING ON ITS HEAD

Rarely is there a male model who can give the girls a run for their money in the enviable outfit department, but as men make more and more appearances on both women’s and men’s runways, a select few have been stepping up their game with street style getups to match. One who gets not only clothes but the power of a signature beauty look is Michael Lockley, an effortlessly chic Brooklyn teen with a blond Afro and attitude to spare. Lockley has been making waves on the catwalks, walking for everyone from Tommy Hilfiger to Yeezy, but it’s the clothes he sports off duty that have us intrigued.

Lockley’s wardrobe is unapologetically glam; you’re more likely to see him in a fur coat and gold boots than a hoodie and sneakers. While he mixes vintage and designer pieces, music serves as a powerful influence in Lockley’s wardrobe–there are shades of Prince, Jimi Hendrix, and Michael Jackson—but there’s a madcap spirit of experimentation that the model embraces, and it lends itself to a look all his own. A Saint Laurent pink fur borrowed from the girls makes the perfect statement coat. Green mock turtleneck, suspenders, and dip-dyed jeans? Yes, please! A shiny silver suit worn under an equally glossy patent coat? You bet. Head-to-toe red leather à la Michael Jackson in the Thrillervideo—you get the picture. Lockley’s fearlessness and willingness to try just about anything makes his style continuously fascinating; take a look at some of his best outfits and try not to feel inspired.
