El-No: P-I-M-P 

You know, it's hard out there for a gangsta... Especially one who can't effectively color block.

This is a straight up tragedy. Tupac would roll over in his grave if he saw this shizz (except he's alive, so we don't have to worry about that). Mr El-No is wearing a wintery wool cream coat, a polyester red suit, and a summery sheer white tie. NAGL. At least the white and red shoes are a solid attempt. 

Other than the loss of street creed, I think Mr El-No's biggest problem is his illogical mixing of seasonal fabrication. The key to color blocking is utlizing textiles that actually go together. Once the fabric weights blend, the pops of color will seem more cohesive. 

Mr El-No should checkout these Vineyard Vines Corduroy Harmon Pants in Cabernet ($86.99). Personally, I think they say "What's Up Motherf*cka" in a more luxurious and classical way than the suit. I think a change in tone might be just what Mr EL-No needs for his business.  He could pair the pants with this classic Secret Wash mini-gingham black shirt from J.Crew ($64.50) and maybe the Belstaff Roadmaster jacket in black ($595). Love!
