How to Dress Well
An ethereal approach to making over early '90s R&B.
Overview
If you rock up to How to Dress Well expecting a tutorial in accessorising and shoe/belt combos, you may be disappointed. Though Tom Krell is a stylish fellow, his musical project How to Dress Well is less a Trinny and Susannah approach to making over frumpy office ladies and more an ethereal approach to making over early '90s R&B.
'Cold Nites' off his latest LP Total Loss sounds like the introspective soundtrack to the comedown that follows when your average champagne bottle-popping hip hop music video finishes. Setting soaring falsetto atop moody, sparse beats and instrumentation, How to Dress Well, like contemporary The Weeknd, is a creative, sensitive producer showing R&B can be smarter, more understated and, yes, more stylish than you'd expect.
