Imagine Jared Leto not wearing Gucci. It’s almost impossible to not see him dressed in the label’s wild prints all the time. Beginning to wonder if it’s his favorite brand? Already being somewhat of a magician for pulling some of the craziest style moves in menswear, the Thirty Seconds to Mars frontman and Gucci dynamic couldn’t be a more natural pairing.

With a notorious reputation for wearing some of the most vibrant prints, colors, and patterns known to planet earth and potentially Mars, Jared Leto continues on his path as a walking Gucci billboard. As mentioned early, it’s almost impossible to not see him dressed in Gucci. Those other occurrences, he’s appearing in true rockstar fashion in oversized sweatshirts, distressed skinny jeans, and an arsenal of Vans of course.

The Defiant One

Despite the fact that Jared Leto’s style is generally up in the air, there are those moments when it just couldn’t be more neutral and admirable. One part hardcore skate and one part The Ramones, Leto maximizes his toned down pairings and leverages them to make him one of the last iconic rockstars in stardom.

Continuing to puzzle all of humanity on what his style really is, Jared Leto is really unpredictable as to what his style is going to be that day. However, just like it will be Gucci, there is also a high probability that his outfit will consist of pink. Whether it’s flamboyant pink cardigans with a flannel tied around his waist or a pink pair of trousers with a green overcoat, you just can’t predict exactly what’s going to be. Although you can’t argue that, this is indeed a move a rockstar would pull.

And the final accent that makes Jared Leto’s rockstar style so great is that he has an assortment of the most iconic Vans to wear with it. From Sk8-His to the Classic Checkerboard Slip-Ons, he’s got all the silhouettes that turn these neutral silhouettes into a level of mastery that only a true style wizard understands.

Powered by Prints

Jared Leto takes maximalist style to the max. It’s almost as if he intentionally takes every color in the rainbow and throws it together with every apparel essential in his closet – all at once (almost literally actually). How does he get away with it? Because he’s a rockstar and that’s what rockstars do. And while we’re on the subject of prints, Leto clearly recognizes that the checkerboard print is indeed in, so he’ll throw in the Vans Checkerboard Classic Slip-Ons on a regular basis just for good measure.

So when you have a maximalist wardrobe, do you off-set the overall look with a neutral footwear silhouette? Not a chance, according to Leto. And since most of the prints he’s wearing are Gucci, nothing says it’s all Gucci like more Gucci, therefore it’s a regular occurrence to see the rockstar wearing a range of the brand’s sneakers like the Ace in an assortment of both high and low-top designs.

Even if you are on the more minimal side of styling your wardrobe, the Ace is still simple enough to pair with just the basics. Cohesive with the personalization trend in fashion, this silhouette is practically leading the charge, as each style comes ready with a DIY look that’ll pretty much let you walk on water.

Outshining in Onitsuka Tigers

A true rockstar would pull something out of their hat that the competition just can’t seem to fathom. And for Jared Leto, that is his rotation of Onitsuka Tigers that you don’t see anyone else on this playing field breaking out these days. His skinny stature further accentuates how nimble these heritage running shoes really are and his punk styling makes their timeless design pop without looking out of place.

From skinny cargo pants and button-up shirts to distressed skinny jeans with a bomber jacket and a flannel tied around his waist, Jared Leto converts a generic style like the Mexico 66 Mid and turns it into a punk rock power move. When combined with fitted essentials like Leto’s, this silhouette transforms a classic from yesterday into a utilitarian work horse that will ensure plenty of use and head turns – especially in the iconic white offering with the red and blue tiger stripes.

This is the most punk rock look on the page. These Mexico 66 Mid are an out of left-field move that makes Leto's styling a home run.
