5 Boss-Level Style Lessons You Can Learn From Rick Ross
Rap's reigning boss Rick Ross turns 40 today, an age when most men start to throw in the towel when it comes to how they dress. But Rick Ross is no average joe. If anything, like a good wine, Ross has gotten better—and slimmer—in recent years and shows zero signs of taking things down a notch (except his belt). Ross's unapologetic confidence in all corners of his life is something we can all learn from. And that certainly applies to his signature boss style, a can't-miss aesthetic that includes everything from fur coats to rare sneakers and big-ass sunglasses. And while you might not steal Ross's total look to wear to your workplace, there are still some valuable style lessons you can pick up from Da Boss. In fact, here are five of them.
