"The scientific explanation is that their unique ability to conjure emotions and generate indelible memories by literally vibrating the air around them translates remarkably well into fashion, where a similar magic trick is being performed but for the eye rather than the ear. There's something else, though: Music, more than most sources of the kind of fame and fortune that thrust a man into the public eye, is intensely personal."
"When you first think of John Mayer, "boy next door" might come to mind, and that's exactly what makes his style so compelling. A technical wizard who's comfortable being just another guy in the band, whether it's pop, blues, R&B, or however you'd classify Dead & Company, Mayer carries the same refined confidence into his personal style. His daily attire is refreshingly simple, letting the real gem of his wardrobe shine: his watches."
Musicians account for 71.8 percent of men perceived as style inspirations, indicating a strong link between musical fame and fashion. Their ability to conjure emotions and create lasting memories through sound translates into visual style that performs a similar magic for the eye. Music often begins privately, in bedrooms with drum machines, laptops, guitars, or scrap lyrics, making musical fame intensely personal. Fashion functions as currency for authentic self-expression. John Mayer favors an intentional, understated aesthetic that emphasizes watches from Rolex, IWC, and Patek Philippe and collaborations like a limited Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, producing quiet luxury. Usher can wear numerous furry coats with singular ease.
