So you think celebs only know how to make themselves look good? Wrong. Some celebrities actually have real knacks for fashion and by having clothing lines, they mean serious business. Anybody can try and dress a woman, but the truth is: dressing a man is a greater challenge. With lots of boundaries, menswear tend to be boring and uninspiring. But who are the celebs who know men best? Here they are in random order.
P. Diddy
With his fashion line Sean John, P. Diddy is never joking when it comes to dressing men other than himself. The sleek lines of Sean John’s menswear ooze total masculinity and classic Americana touches that never go out of style. Embracing Diddy’s fashion spirit, Sean John dresses men like anybody should: manly. Here are two of our favorite piece from Sean John, available at DrJays.com.

Sean John Cadet Jacket, was $89, now $53.99
Jay-Z
Yes Rocawear, who knew this clothing line owned by hip hop mogul, Jay-Z would dare to shed its hip hop skin and enter the realm where no hip hop clothing has boldly gone before: the mainstream. The label made such a smooth transition to the mainstream crowd and instead of losing fans, Rocawear garnered new fans from the other side. Why your man should wear Rocawear, Ladies? Because the brand defines casual in a stylish way. Just like Jay-Z. Here are our picks from Rocawear.
Russell Simmons
The hip hop mogul knows more than a thing or two in male fashion. His lines Phat Farm and Argyle Culture have proven his legacy in men’s casual wear with a strong whiff of hip hop air. Not only menswear, Russell Simmons also manages his ex-wife’s clothing line: BabyPhat by Kimora Lee Simmons. Since Kimora’s departure from the brand not so long ago, Baby Phat is still going on strong and in fact stays as one of the strongest ladies streetwear line todate.
T.I.
Many people have doubted rapper T.I. when he decided to launch A King Of Oneself (AKOO) in 2008. Was it going to be another rapper ‘clothing line’ that won’t stand the test of time? Apparently AKOO made all doubts disappear when it still makes great sales even when T.I. is away in jail (the first time as well as the second). Recently the brand even dubbed rapper B.o.B. as its ambassador and as far as menswear is concerned, we strongly believe that AKOO has a great future in the industry.

Justin Timberlake
One of the most fashionable men in the entertainment business, Justin Timberlake HAS to live up to his reputation. And what better way to do it than start his own clothing line? Enter William Rast, a denim company which comes up with one of the finest cuts in men’s (and women’s) jeans ever. Get your own William Rast, gentlemen (and ladies) and agree with us.

Bono
The leading vocalist of U2 collaborated with his wife and the brilliant two came up with eco-friendly and politically correct clothing line “Edun”. We’re saying Bono knows best what hipster men wear on daily basis, because we’re in LOVE with the rocker look on Edun’s menswear lineup. Check Edun on Forward by Revolve and you’ll see what we mean.
