#CARTIDRIP

When it comes to bending fashion rules while keeping it raw and rooted in culture, few do it better than Playboi Carti. His recent studio hang with A$AP Rocky and Ken Carson was more than just a link-up of rap royalty—it was a masterclass in streetwear styling, led by Carti's head-turning Pelle Pelle 'fit.

Carti pulled up in a vintage-inspired Pelle Pelle American Soda Club varsity jacket, one of the most nostalgic outerwear statements of the season. Loud in the best way, its electric green, royal blue, and black patchwork brought heavy 2000s energy, nodding to hip-hop's heritage without feeling costume-y. Underneath, he kept things raw with a pair of vintage Levi’s cutoff shorts, casually cuffed to hit just above the calf—grungy, effortless, and so Carti.

Anchoring the fit was a classic Chrome Hearts t-shirt, understated but unmistakably luxe with its subtle cross detailing and heavyweight cotton. Around his wrist, a Chrome Hearts bracelet added silver edge, while a Chrome Hearts belt peeked out just enough to flex, without doing too much—exactly the kind of detail Carti fans catch and fashion heads respect.

But what really pushed the fit into archival heaven was his headwear: a limited-edition Asspizza x Mattyboy durag, splashed in chaotic graphics and graffiti textures that screamed downtown NYC meets LA underground. It wasn't just an accessory; it was a conversation piece.

On foot, Carti laced up in classic Adidas Forum Hi Wings 4.0 Jeremy Scott sneakers, worn just enough to let you know he actually moves in them. The look was finished with a Bottega Veneta green Intrecciato duffle bag, giving high-fashion tactility to an otherwise unruly ensemble.

What makes this look land is Carti’s signature tension: designer mixed with dirt, archival with now, polished with post-everything energy. It's that disruptive frequency that keeps him one of the most important style disruptors of our time.
