Jerry Lorenzo’s Fear Of God has been experiencing a hot streak this year. The brand which typically ethers into streetwear and athleisure territory has been excelling at offering elevated menswear staples as of late.

The deep maroon hue was a bit of a departure but it landed quite well, especially because it’s a key color for this year.

Sneakers, graphic t-shirts, and snapbacks were exciting and also fun to view due to the series’ costume designer Judy Richman. I’d venture to say watching re-runs of the show is also enjoyable to this day. As years progressed, his go-to look was a dapper suit for public red carpet moments at awards ceremonies.

Since summer is nearly here we’re going to keep a lookout for Smith’s next fashion moments. It might just be his flyest era yet.
