So obviously aside from making waves churning out hit after hit, we felt it necessary to take a moment and talk about some of Lil Nas X's most iconic fashion choices. So, that's exactly what we're doing.
From his early on flashy cowboy aesthetic, Nas has developed a signature style that is usually comprised of a vibrantly colored or patterned suits. Not afraid to mix prints, rock neons, pair unconventional colors, or rocking over the top accessories, Lil Nas X's fashion choices never disappoint, but especially not with these 5 iconic looks (listed in no particular order).

It's giving, a little bit of Prince, but a lot of Rick James. Which aside from the look being hella fierce, gives it automatic icon status, no questions asked.
