You might remember when A$AP was spotted in an oversized blazer and jeans, carrying a huge pink Bottega Andiamo tote on his birthday last year. Well, for his 35th birthday this year, he opted for a monochromatic look with a striped shirt, two-piece suit and tailored check coat. As you can see, the Harlem-born rapper *still* loves oversized tailoring.

Recreate the look with pieces in a complementary color palette—that way, stripes and checks won't clash too much. Or keep it simple with a minimal coat and no checks. And for an extra-clean finish, create symmetry with the layered lapels.

It would be rude not to mention *that* bag. Of course, another Bottega, but it’s an off-the-runway special – the pop of color (plus the shades) gives that elevated aesthetic we love him for. If something subtler is more your bag (literally), we've got you covered.
