If Detroit is the Motor City, then when it comes to fashion, our Best Dressed honorees are driving in the fast lane – with no turn signals and plenty of flair. From boardroom boldness to brunch-ready brilliance, this year’s list proves that style in the D isn’t just worn – it’s wielded. These fashion phenoms don’t follow trends; they bend them into origami swans and then wear them to diner. Here is one of the 11 metro Detroiters on Hour Detroit’s Best Dressed list, class of 2025, who were all shot on location at Detroit Foundation Hotel.

Getting to know the style of Jalen Rose

Fashion style: Cleaner than the board of health.

The one piece in my closet I can’t live without: Can’t live without Fear of God and Richfresh.

If my wardrobe had a theme song, it would be … “Dominoes” by Donald Byrd.

Favorite places to shop locally and favorite designers: Most of my clothes are custom-made, so I rarely visit fashion stores. And again, my favorite designers are Fear of God, Richfresh, and, of course, my man Ty Mopkins.

A look that always gets compliments: Anything by Richfresh.

Fashion advice: Boss up. We’re from Detroit. We have to stay ready.
