This is not to say that Lenny doesn’t do excess well. He’s always had a knack for reviving that wild and groovy ’70s rocker style and making it his own. He showed up to the Betsey Johnson Fall 1998 show wearing a Western-type jacket made from fur and leather that was only fastened by one button, along with a pair of happy trail-baring red leather pants. (He also wore the same aforementioned bone-carved necklace!) Way back when, he donned a corset contraption and skin-tight paisley print. He even memorably wore a blue-tinged Global Coffee House art-style crop top. In one undated image from a concert presumably in the early ’90s, Kravitz is pictured in a suit of the palest blue with a scooping fur-trimmed collar, not unlike a look that David Bowie or Prince might have worn. And remember that humongous brown knit scarf Kravitz wrapped himself in while braving a chilly day in New York in 2018? It was crazy, bizarre, and also so Lenny.

Men’s looks in music have always been changing. There are boy bands who shoot to fame, and then those members who assume alternate, more individualistic styles off-stage as time goes on. There are standard rock bands with unremarkable wardrobes. But just as Iggy Pop performs shirtless in a pair of jeans threatening to fall off, or Bono is never without his trademark sunglasses, Lenny’s style is iconic and seamless. He wears these looks off-stage and on-stage. He is the precursor to the millennial sartorial powerhouses that we know now, like Harry Styles or Bad Bunny. Kravitz knows himself, feels good, and looks phenomenal in his clothes. What’s to change? For Lenny, nothing.
