    My Adidas

    Granted, he is a frequent collaborator of the brand, nonetheless, Pharrell Williams' love of Adidas track jackets is unparalleled. He prefers them in a bold color—red, yellow, green, or sometimes black—and custom-made out of leather in lieu of polyester.

    Drawn Together

    Whatever shoes he's wearing, chances are Williams has taken to them with markers, beads, or other forms of adornment. From Dr. Martens to Adidas Superstars, his range of doodled-on kicks is quite expansive and features everything from the word feminism in marker to self-drawn Chanel logos.

    He Wears Short Shorts

    Few would dare try to get away with shorts on the red carpet, but teamed with a slim-cut jacket and pointed brogues sans socks, they have become Williams' signature look. One of the first times he rocked them was at the 2012 CFDA Awards—should we expect a repeat performance this year?

    Just Trying to Blend In

    Whether it's Bape, Mark McNairy, or standard issue, Williams loves a good camouflage print. We like the Prada Fall 2010 jacket best—let us know your pick in the comment section below.

    CC the World

    Williams really took his song written for Karl Lagerfeld's Chanel-Salzburg collectsion movie to heart. "If it's good, it can stand on its own in any iteration, and Chanel's one of those brands—always good," he told us of working with the house. Over the years Williams has piled on the pieces—from logo sweatshirts to belts to the customized necklaces—from the brand he wears in nearly every public appearance.

    The Cardigans

    Only someone with a cool factor as high as Williams' could make cardigans seem covetable. Not only does he boast a large selection of the sweaters, but he often repeats them—so much so that online forums have sprung up debating the brand of one of his oft-pictured gray favorites.

    Say It With a Sweatshirt

    Williams' casual looks often consist of a patterned sweatshirt, either emblazoned with the logo of one of the many brands he's affiliated with or with a phrase he believes in. "Girls! Girls! Girls!" tied in nicely with his album release last year, titled simply Girl.

    Philo Fanatic

    Williams isn't opposed to shopping in the women's section—and when he does, it's often at Céline. The musician sports the brand's hot pink Crombie coat and leopard sneakers regularly, and never misses out on an opportunity to stop at the label's stores.

    Let the Fur Fly

    While he's not much of a fur fan anymore—Williams has apologized for wearing the hooded Moncler coat pictured at left—earlier in his career he was a bit of a fur fanatic.
