How to Really Dress Like a Rock Star: 5 Style Lessons From Prince’s Instagram
There are selfies and then there is Princestagram, the newly minted Instagram page of the Purple One, which is less a daily record of the goings-on of the man and fashion legend but instead a tongue-in-cheek archive of the singer’s most ostentatious fashion moments over the years. True, you could say it’s a tad narcissistic, but then again, when you somehow have the ability to pull off a gender-bending sequined-lined blazer or an all-white suit with a pompadour, things really feel more instructive. In fact, based on the images the guitar legend has posted of himself thus far, here are five crucial style lessons we’re already taking to heart.
