Drake Style Timeline: How Fragrance Launches and Nostalgic Apparel Captured Fall Headlines
By Sarah Jenkins
On the opposite end of vintage sportswear sits an unapologetic display of high-bracket luxury. Drake's formal wardrobe rejects off-the-rack luxury in favor of tailored suits cut by master houses like Brioni and Tom Ford, styled intentionally with modern subversions. He regularly swaps dress shirts for ribbed silk tanks, grounding formal black-tie tailoring with high-top boots or custom leather sneakers.
His jewelry choices carry similar weight. Custom jewelry and watches represent a multimillion-dollar curation project. Rather than relying on generic diamond pavé pieces, Drake tracks down museum-grade historical artifacts and bespoke horology:
- Rare Jacob & Co. Astronomia timepieces featuring operating casino wheels and miniature roulette balls.
- Archival Richard Mille chronographs customized in clear sapphire crystal casings.
- High-profile auction acquisitions, including Tupac Shakur's historic crown ring and Pharrell Williams' archival gold pieces.
- Heavy custom diamond pendants crafted by Jason of Beverly Hills, celebrating OVO owl emblems and personal family milestones.
These pieces serve a functional purpose in Drake's hip hop style influence. They anchor simple everyday clothing, a faded gray hoodie, dark sweatpants, or an understated Nocta jacket, to undeniable wealth. The contrast between everyday comfort and rare, seven-figure jewelry has become his most imitated style signature.
