Kanye West's Best Outfits Of 2015

by Kali Borovic

The votes are finally in and Kanye West won GQ 's Most Stylish Man of the Year. With his own clothing line, fabulous personal style, and enough money to build a truly incredible wardrobe, it only makes sense that he earned this top honor. He's stayed true to himself while rocking some seriously talked about outfits, and there's no doubt in my mind that his confidence was the key to his sartorial success.

To anyone who has been following his fashionable year, you know that Kanye was the clear winner. The rapper turned clothing designer beat out Jared Leto, Robbie Rodgers, and Lucky Blue Smith in the semifinals to secure his spot on top. The publication left it to the fans to vote a winner, so it might have helped that Kanye is married to the queen of social media. Or maybe Kanye love Kanye so much that he voted for himself over and over? Either way, his best looks of 2015 clearly indicate that he deserved his win.

From rocking sweatsuits on the red carpet to creating his own fashion line, Kanye has really made a name for himself in the fashion world this year. The designer didn't have to do much to prove his stylish ways, either. His second Fashion Week show was just as minimalist as his first, and all he had to do to change the color of his Yeezy Boosts to create another masterpiece. He's a sartorial genius if you ask me.

It's been a busy year for the music mogul, and his outfits have been on-point throughout it all. What makes the man such a clear style winner is his confidence and ability to stay true to his own ways — style and otherwise. It's not easy to find your own personal style, but we could all learn a thing or two from Kanye's top looks of 2015.

1. Oversized Deep V-Neck

He let Kardashian have her moment with her sheer Givenchy gown, but his simple outfit was definitely still fabulous. I've never seen a deep v-neck look quite so high fashion before.

2. Red Carpet Sweatsuit

Kanye surprised everyone with his monochrome red carpet sweatsuit. The look showed off his Yeezy Boost 350s, which I assume is why he choose the outfit.

Then he proved to be a master of layering when he took the stage to accept the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.

3. Shirtless Suit
