Green was a popular color over the weekend while smokers celebrated 4/20. Yet somewhere in the haze of green clothes and smoke, stylish people were on trend with color blocking.

2013 jam: Lady Gaga’s “You and I.” I cover it when I play live sometimes.

Style mantra: Live in peace.
Shops at: H&M, and thrift shops.
On his love of womenswear: “I shop the women’s department at H&M. Women’s clothes are more fun; men’s clothes are drab. I also love urban street wear.”
Kidd remains sock-less in these black leather boots: “Socks are for the mundane and straight. I never wear socks,” he adds.
Style analysis: Many were focused on one color over the weekend: green. Kidd takes a risk and opts for the three primary colors: bright yellow hair, red shirt, and baby blue skinny jeans to craft a look all his own. Even though none of the colors match per say, when stacked on top of each other, they posses a visually strong appeal. Kidd’s animated sense of fashion coordinates with his highly animated personality, in a Judge Doom sort of way.
Always honor your most animated ideas and fashion, Denver.
