Best Dressed of the Week: Keith Stanfield in Mary Katrantzou SS12

Wearing a colourful floral printed suit means taking a fashion risk. But wearing a women’s colourful floral suit – when you’re a man – is taking that risk to another level.
While menswear-inspired trends have been seen all over the runways and red carpets this year, and celebs as well as normal folks like us experimented with boyfriend jeans and androgynous suits – we had yet to see a man stepping up and turning the tables around by sporting some womenswear designs. Thankfully we have found one!
Rapper turned actor Keith Stanfield appeared yesterday at the premiere his new movie ‘Dope‘, wearing one of the most recognizable pieces from Mary Katrantzou’s Spring/Summer 2012 collection– which was essentially a women’s suit.
Looking bold and confident, the actor pulls off this show-stopping suit with finesse by pairing it with a black shirt and shoes combo, which tied this whole daring look together.
With men’s fashion weeks just around the corner (London starts on Friday 15th of June), we are hoping to see more guys taking risk on the red carpet and perhaps borrowing from our closets when appropriate. After all, why is it that only women are allowed to have fun with fashion?
Until we see more men stepping up to the challenge – may we just say, this suit is dope indeed!
