The Clothes Make Boyz II Men

Boyz II Men are making lot of public appearances to promote their album II these days, and they're definetly dresssing to impress. Granted Shawn Stockman, Nathan Morris, Michael McCary, and Wanya Morris made a major first impression, fashionwise in 1991 with their perfectly put-together suits and sweaters. So they swear they won't be slacking off in sweatpants during second-CD season.

"That is the Boyz II Men format," Shawn tells BB of the guys commitment to dressing with class. "This is how we do it. Our Alex Vanderpool collegiate look-that is us, our signature." In case you didn't know, Alex from the soap All My Children.)

In keeping with their overall sense of style, the Boyz dress alike more often than not. Be it for photo shoots, concerts, or public appearances, the four will try to suit up similarly. "Even when we don't wear the same thing, we compliment each other," Shawn told People, which included the group in the 1994 best-dressed list. "We may wear different kinds of suits, but they're still suits."

Shawn says he and his crooning clothes horse companions can usually agree on what stuff they like to wear-like tees, ties, and turtlenecks. Even once in a while, there's a falling-out in this fashion fraternity, but it's never too serious.

"We might have a little argument about socks," he admitted to People, "but we're friends. We always come to some arguement."
