J Balvin is one of the few musicians who are invited to fashion weeks to see what's new in the men's collections of the best brands, and that's not a mistake, coincidence or coincidence.

The Colombian has had a very interesting style evolution and now he continues to show that elegance can be seen in many ways, it can be irreverent, fun and flashy for all the right reasons, and it is worth daring to think outside the box and wear look that not many would wear so confidently.

But it's not a big surprise either, music and fashion have been connected since the beginning (think icons like The Ramones, Kanye, David Bowie or The Beatles), and it's usually the musicians who test the trends, wear them in their own way and create new ones throughout their careers, often using clothing to show where they are and what they want to communicate to the world.

In the case of J Balvin, his style is as extravagant as his music, but in a way that is still elegant, and nobody said that elegance had to be boring or traditional. And maybe you're not going to dress like him, but there's a lot we can all learn from his style.

The coolest elegance, according to J Balvin

A coat to rule them all…

Just as in Lord of the Rings there is a ring of power, in your closet there must be a powerful coat, that piece that has the power to elevate any outfit while protecting you from the cold, and that provides a dose of sophistication even if you wear a pair underneath. pants and a sweatshirt.

Balvin prefers the long coat and makes it very clear that it is important to think carefully about the color, the material, the textures and the fit, all this makes your coat look less like that of a Wall Street businessman, and more like that of a a modern person who knows trends.

accessories forever

An outfit is not complete without some accessories, since it is those little details that make the difference. Maybe you don't want it to look like you spent hours in the closet choosing what to wear (it's better if everything looks natural and effortless), but you do want to make sure you put in a little effort and get a look that looks polished and finished, and the right accessories are the wow factor.

The advantage is that they are also a great way to update your looks and jump on the trend bandwagon without making many changes or expenses.

Think out of the box

Ok, maybe it's not that easy to wear a skirt or dress if you're not a celebrity, but the takeaway from all of this is that it's always a good idea to try different things and experiment until you find what works for you.

Balvin, for example, does not wear the skirt in the same way as Kid Cudi or Jaden Smith, he chose his own version of it and it is precisely what you should do with everything you wear.

Think carefully about the materials

To be elegant you should not only wear suits or very formal clothes, you can even do it with jeans and clogs (like the ones Balvin wears, which are from the collaboration between Dior and Birkenstock), the key is to look for better quality, good construction and a perfect cut, all this helps you look better, more expensive and more groomed.

smart streetwear

Elegance and comfort (or sportswear) are not in dispute, as David Beckham and J Balvin have already shown, they also do it very well. To be more elegant when you wear completely casual looks, then you must take into account that the garments must be perfect, clean, without stretching or without holes and wear. Look for higher materials and monochromatic and coordinated styles, which are not only on trend, but help you achieve a classic and more interesting look.

The suit 2.0

Many celebrities are currently doing this. It is about taking a typical suit and turning it upside down with interesting details or a different fit. Balvin, for example, wears a colorful sweater underneath, a pair of chunky sneakers, and chose a suit with small embroidered details, which makes it special and less serious than the ones you might wear to work.
