RefinedHype Looks At Michael Jackson’s Most Iconic Looks

Michael Jackson was well-known for many things: his timeless music, epic dance moves, and so much more. But one can’t speak on the King of Pop without mentioning his iconic style. Michael Jackson was a true style icon. Forget your Lady Gaga’s or any other of today’s overly extravagant fashion icons. Michael Jackson was a true innovator in style and the best thing about his style was it wasn’t forced. On the anniversary of Michael Jackson’s death we take a look at three of Jackson’s most iconic looks.

The “Thriller” Jacket

“Bout to go Thriller Mike Jackson on these n*ggas/All I need’s a f**kin’ red jacket with some zippers.” Drake is just one of many music artists and fans who have given props to Jackson’s red, leather “Thriller” jacket. You can even catch comedian Lil’ Duval sporting the entire “Thriller” look on his Twitter profile pic today. Nothing emulates style more than a fly leather jacket and Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” jacket goes above and beyond.

The Silver Glove

Now this may not be a look most would sport on an everyday basis, but it’s classic Michael Jackson and that can’t be denied. In the days following his death many people sported their own silver glove in remembrance of one of the best to ever do it.

The Black Highwater Pant

Now is it just me or is Michael’s black pant somewhat reminiscent of today’s men’s skinny jean? Before Michael Jackson rocked this look, wearing pants so short they showed your socks was reflective of total nerddom. Now, it’s 2010 and people are still embracing this popular look by MJ.
