Style Guide: How to Dress Like Michael B Jordan | Man of Many

FASHION
Before we even get to Michael B Jordan’s clothing, it’s necessary to master the basics; hair. His Black Panther alias Erik Killmonger sports shaved sides with short styled locs on top, a difficult look for just any man to pull off. Fortunately, the Michael B Jordan hairstyle is a versatile, easy to emulate one. Jordan opts for a mid-fade haircut; fades offer options for a variety of length, with Jordan tending to keep his locks close cropped with a #1 or #2 length. The mid fade hairstyle is low maintenance, however requires a certain degree of panache from your barber to achieve the perfect gradual faded gradient, as well as to select an edge-up shape which works for your face.

Once relegated to the go-to wardrobes of tech entrepreneurs, Jordan regularly utilises the mock neck shirt to put his own spin on classic suiting. Opting for a mock neck shirt in lieu of a dress shirt lends a fresh approach to the sartorial stalwart.

Michael B Jordan’s clothing shows he isn’t afraid to take stylistic risks, with Jordan sporting a retro take on the humble sweater to celebrate his 32nd birthday. Not a look everyone can pull off, the graphic Givenchy fit provided the Creed star with elevated youthful appeal.

Graphic Sweater

Whilst trends like dyed denim and logomania have flitted in and out of the menswear scene, the trucker jacket has remained a mainstay since its inception in the 60s. Michael B Jordan’s fashion reflects this, with Jordan abiding by the classic rule of double denim; lighter on the top and darker on the bottom, by pairing his mid-wash denim trucker jacket with black denim, whilst putting his own spin on the look with the addition of two-toned sneakers.

A key weapon in Michael B Jordan’s style arsenal, each of the actor’s red-carpet pieces employ similar slim-fit tailoring. Jordan often experiments with suits in unconventional shades like jade green, marsala, and plaid. However, when he selects a simple black tux, it’s the attention to detail which counts; with pieces like a classic watch and patent leather brogues coming into play.

Jordan’s style has a certain timeless appeal as he tends to avoid indiscriminately jumping on trends. He knows what works for him and experiments within that framework. Case in point; this crisp white mock neck Louis Vuitton shirt, fitted cardigan, and faded pinstripe trousers number, evoking 1950s vibes.

Selective Trend-hopping

Suiting is Jordan’s forte; however, his streetwear game is pretty decent too. Jordan keeps it simple here, rounding off an all-black look with fresh white hi-tops. The leather varsity jacket provides a touch of interest to the casual jeans and tee combo.
