New Style Idea

Nick Jonas took a retro approach to dressing for the Cedars-Sinai Board of Governors 50th anniversary event, held at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium. The event honored 2021 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year winner Andrew Whitworth, and featured a live auction, dinner and a performance by Jonas.

Arriving in Inglewood for the occasion, the “Happiness Begins” musician wore a black shirt atop a pair of matching trousers embellished with intricate beaded patterns. Layered over these was an unbuttoned golden yellow camp-collar shirt, covered in a ’60s-esque black floral print. Adding a layer of glitz to the ensemble were silver necklaces, rings and coordinating shiny sequins lining its hem and sleeves.

When it came to shoes, Jonas completed his outfit with a set of metallic Cuban-heeled boots. The style included black soles with angled 1-2-inch heels, as well as shiny silver uppers. Completing his pair were almond-shaped toes with swirling Western embroidery, adding a cowboy-worthy finish to his bohemian look.

Heeled boots like Jonas’ have risen as a frequent silhouette in menswear, popularized by their vintage roots and height-boosting appeal. Styles with angled heels in a variety of finishes, ranging from denim to suede and colorful leathers, have been released by a range of brands in recent weeks — including Diesel, Celine and Saint Laurent.

When it comes to footwear, Jonas’ styles range from retro to slick. The “Camp Rock” star’s red carpet footwear range is vast, including Maison Margiela x Reebok sneakers, Kenneth Cole boots and Christian Louboutin brogues. His off-duty wardrobe frequently includes colorful and neutral sneakers as well, hailing from Converse, Vans, Vagabond Shoemakers and Pierre Hardy.
