We need to talk about Burna Boy's distinct style and eccentric fashion | Pulse Nigeria

<p><strong>A little bit of history</strong></p>

<p>When we first met Burna Boy in 2009, we met him on the set of his music video, ‘Like to Party’. He didn’t have dreads on and wore a multicoloured shirt. In another shot, he wore a simple grey long-sleeve t-shirt.</p>

<p>On the set of another music video, ‘Yawa Dey’, Burna wore a shirt with colourful prints, shorts and a bucket hat; he still had the style of an upcoming artist.</p>

<p>Burna shot to stardom with his album, ‘Outside' released in 2019; and that was the birth of Burna Boy in long dreadlocks and a very distinct style.</p>

<p>When we think of Burna Boy fashion, the first thing that comes to our mind is his eccentricity. We have his sister and stylist, <strong>Ronami</strong> to blame or thank for that, depending on the occasion.</p>

<p>Another word to describe Burna Boys' style is chaotic. Burna Boy at the BET Awards 2019 wore a two-piece with two belts.</p>

<p>Even though in recent times, we see him curate a coherent look in terms of colour and prints and move away from bomber jackets that were his style previously to two-piece trouser and shirt.</p>

<p>Nowadays, a calmer Burna Boy can be found on the cusps of his album 'Love, Damini'. Sticking to one colour scheme and fewer prints yet, maintaining a personality and refusing to bore us style-wise.</p>

<p>Burna Boy and perhaps his stylist attempts to grab our attention with every outfit he wears as if to say, 'Here is a rock star, here is a superstar.'</p>

<p>His look for his Grammy 2021 performance was a suit with feathers and a sleeve that looked like it was falling off. He wore a similar outfit to the BBMAs</p>

<p>But he never lets go of looking quirky.</p>

<p>He trended recently for wearing a crop top and cowboy jeans. He was compared to Gen Z musician<strong> Ayra Starr.</strong></p>

<p>One thing you will always catch Burna Boy wearing is free-fitting clothes</p>

<p>He wears a lot of colour like in 'Vanilla' music video where he wore a neon shirt.</p>

<p>He also fond of boots and an unbuttoned shirt. Last last, we cannot deny that Burna is a fashion icon in his own right.</p>
