Welcome to Heat Check, a (semi)regular dose of much-needed style inspiration culled from the very best celebrity fit pics around.


My guy, if you're sitting around wasting time wondering who in the hell Reese Laflare is, you're sort of missing the big picture here. Sure, the Atlanta-born rapper and producer (who recently debuted a since sold-out clothing line) is one of a few personalities at the epicenter of an emerging, insider-y hip-hop scene that venerates getting off fits as much as it does any of the processes normally associated with the making of rap bangers.

On Instagram, where he dutifully documents his many, many massive fits for his loyal followers, he's also one of the swaggiest dudes around, making his account one very much worthy of your attention. So wake up, folks. Class is in session and Professor Laflare is about to school us all on how to dress for the remainder of summer.

Take, as our first case study, this particularly spicy outfit from last week. You don't have to be a diehard clothing aficionado to appreciate the degree of mastery on display here, and frankly, the man's CV is almost beside the point—because his get-up speaks for itself, and boy does it speak volumes.

Lounging poolside in Tulum—huge mood, by the way—Laflare effortlessly embodies Big Vacation Energy in some bonkers Loewe clout goggles and a standout jacket-and-trouser set from Needles, finished off with a pair of rainbow-embellished Gucci clogs (worn with coordinating pink Gucci socks, naturally) and a fistful of pearls slung artfully around his neck.

I mean, come on. Right now, Laflare is the late-summer style inspiration you didn't know you needed. He looks comfortable. He looks completely at ease. He also looks like a living, breathing moodboard of current menswear touchstones, ones it'd behoove you to make note of. Now go forth and copy (or, y'know, at least imitate).
