2001, Big Boi and Andre 3000

Big Boi and Andre 3000, the dynamic duo of Outkast, have long been purveyors of an effortless cool that often allows us to overlook their occasional foray into fashion’s more eccentric realms. However, in 2001, their style choices were so outlandishly cartoonish that they demanded our undivided attention…

Questions like, “Why is Big Boi swathed in pants made of thick pink fur?” and “What’s the deal with Andre 3000’s orange overall onesie?” sent fashion aficionados into a bewildered frenzy. The green fedora and the imposing leather armpiece seemed like an unintentional journey back to the cringe-worthy trends of the early 2000s.
