Thy Shalt Honor Thy Sweatshirt - Whether you love him or hate him, Kanye West is known for pushing boundaries in both his music and personal style. If we peeked into Yeezy’s closet, we imagine we would find these style rules etched on a stone placard. By Britt Middleton In a very Kanye-esque interview given to Vanity Fair, Yeezy calls sweatshirts “the way of the future.” Oh, but it gets better. Speaking about his Yeezy Season 2 collection shown at New York Fashion Week, he continues, “And we worked so hard on our development of our actual sweatshirts … Sweatshirts are f*****g important. That might sound like the funniest quote ever. How can you say all this stuff about running for president in 2020 and then say sweatshirts are important? But they are. Just mark my words. Mark my words like Mark Twain.” Side-eye or nah? (Photo: Gilbert Carrasquillo/FilmMagic)

Thou Shalt Be Buzz-Worthy - We admit that side-swooping Taylor Swift at the 2009 VMAs wasn’t his finest moment, nor was showing up on the red carpet with a bottle of Hennessy in hand.

Thou Shalt Embrace Leather - We dare to say that it was Kanye who started the leather jogging pants trend, since the rapper regularly steps out in them. Either way, he has made the look his own. (Photo: Ralph, PacificCoastNews.com)
