Renowned for his unique blend of streetwear and high-end fashion, A$AP Rocky has been a style influencer since his emergence in the music industry. The rapper seamlessly integrates his fashion sense with his music, creating a compelling, genre-defying aesthetic that many fans try to emulate. While his style has evolved over the years, one thing remains constant: his fearless embrace of bold silhouettes, adventurous colours and unconventional prints.

However, in the current climate, sustainability in fashion has become an essential consideration. It’s crucial to balance style with eco consciousness. But worry not! You can capture A$AP Rocky’s style while still being kind to the environment. Read on for some top picks.

Tints Streetwear Billiard Balls Organic Cotton Pants

A$AP Rocky often completes his outfits with stylish trousers, opting for unconventional cuts and prints. Tints Streetwear Billiard Balls Organic Cotton Pants are a perfect eco-conscious option featuring hand-plucked cotton as the fundamental element of the textile. Each cotton thread is meticulously hand-spun in a traditional mud house where the controlled humidity contributes to the fabric’s breathability and gentle softness. A key aspect of Tints Streetwear’s production process is the total exclusion of synthetic chemicals, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to eco friendliness. The pants also feature hand-embroidered billiard balls on the bottom left leg. The straight-fit unisex design allows anyone to incorporate this stylish piece into their wardrobe, channelling A$AP Rocky’s effortless blending of luxury and streetwear, as well as the timeless billiard-balls motif.

Tints Streetwear employs a distinctive approach to sustainable fashion by using organic fabrics and hand-embroidery. The company was founded and designed by high-schooler Simmi Sen, who has won several awards for her brand. Beyond the materials and process, Tints Streetwear entrusts the creation of each piece to skilled artisans whose crafts have been passed down through generations. This commitment to handmade production makes every garment distinctly unique. However, these artisanal skills, particularly hand-embroidery, are becoming increasingly endangered due to the time intensity of their application. By supporting Tints Streetwear, consumers are contributing to preserving and revitalizing these invaluable crafts, ensuring that their legacy continues to flourish in the world of fashion.

Tints Streetwear Hand-Embroidered T-shirts

Consider Tints Streetwear Hand- Embroidered T-shirts when you want to emulate this aspect of his style. The shirts are made with a luxurious 100 percent cotton that is eco-friendly, and the several hours of intricate hand-embroidery that go into each garment truly make it a one-of-a-kind sustainable fashion statement.
