Kanye West's influence in the fashion industry has been evident over the years. His self-expression has pushed boundaries and blurred the lines between high fashion, streetwear, and art. Ye's style is reflected in the clothes he wears and the Yeezy designs he has released in the past. He is unafraid to experiment and step outside the ordinary when it comes to fashion.

However, not all of Kanye's fashion choices receive acceptance. Some of his experiments have gone too far, eliciting critique, comments, and debate from netizens worldwide.

While Kanye is a trendsetter, he also enjoys breaking these rules. Take a look at some of Kanye West's outfits that have sparked an uproar on the internet.


5 Kanye West outfits that were the talk of the town

Church Outfit

Back in 2023, Kanye West was seen with Bianca Censori, his alleged "wife" at the time. The couple was on their way to church one Sunday. Kanye wore a full black outfit featuring a Vetements "Polizei" T-shirt, skintight pants, and sock boots. The standout aspect of the look was the exaggerated shoulder pads that created a dramatically angular silhouette.

Leather Kilt

This is considered one of Kanye's boldest outfits. The black leather kilt from Givenchy, worn by Kanye, merges modernity with Scottish traditional roots. Kanye's choice of clothing has inspired numerous models to wear it and designers to incorporate the kilt into their designs.

LRG Dead Serious Skeleton Hoodie

The Dead Serious Skeleton Hoodie became a huge sensation when Kanye wore it to Stella McCartney's spring/summer 2007 Paris Fashion Week show, prompting LRG to bring it back. Kanye donned a red Skeleton Hoodie featuring a zipper that extends to the top. It showcases skeleton designs throughout the hoodie.

Maison Margiela Masks

These masks that Kanye West wore may not be considered an "outfit," but they certainly caused a stir online. Back in 2013, when Ye first started the Yeezus tour, the crystal masks made by Maison Margiela were seen as the defining look for Kanye. Ye's outfits during the tour were all from Maison Margiela, but the focus was always on the crystal masks he wore.

Balenciaga x Donda

Another of Kanye West's iconic looks is from the time he donned the Balenciaga AW20 collection by Demna Gvasalia. This featured a black coat covered in spikes. Ye wore it while performing, paired with a black Donda shirt, black cargo pants, and combat boots.


Kanye West's fashion choices have consistently sparked conversation in the fashion world. Whether he's breaking cultural and gender barriers or pushing boundaries, he is frequently seen in bold silhouettes and unconventional accessories.
