This is Billy Porter.

I am going to be weighing in

on the season's latest fashion trends.

This is Billy's court.

(dynamic music)

So here's the thing, I've never been into sweatsuit,

or athleisure wear as you call it,

except going to dance class or working out.

I will say however, COVID and Beyonce changed my mind.

So yes, it's Billy approved.

Ooh, heeled Crocs.

Interestingly enough, I was just at Balenciaga the other day

and they're doing a heeled Croc situation.

I like it.

Because the thing about Crocs is it's a sandal,

so your toes are out, sometimes, or there's air there.

I like the air, but it also has support, which is good.

You can walk in them for a while

without having your knees hurt.

Billy approved.

I love all three of these.

I have actually worn something similar

to the guy in the middle.

Nowadays, I would totally wear what the ladies are wearing

on either side too, in some kind of way.

Billy approved.

Flossing.

I think it's really sexy.

I can't do it yet.

I gotta get in some more yoga classes

and get these love handles taken care of.

And then maybe I'll do a flossing situation.

I was traumatized by neon,

being in the revival cast of Grease,

starring Rosie O'Donnell and Megan Mullally, back in 1994.

So I steered clear of neon for a very long time.

And then Ty Hunter became my stylist,

and what Ty Hunter says goes.

So now I like neon.

And it's good on chocolate skin.

It actually really pops.

I call it the Viola Davis effect.

So yes, Billy approved.

Okay.

They look cute, they look comfortable.

But just like Uggs, I don't think my husband

would let me leave the house in 'em.

So while they are Billy approved,

they wouldn't be husband approved in public.

I was a cargo pants boy, back in the '90s,

when they were in style.

And everything old is new again.

So I would think about a cargo pant

with like a new zhuzh to it.

You know, I really enjoy them when the ladies

wear a cargo pant with a pump, I really enjoy that.

So maybe I might try that.

Billy approved.

Have we met?

I mean, come on, I grew up in the '80s.

Dominique Deveraux, shoulder pads all day, every day.

Please, more shoulder pads, please, please, please.

Billy approved.

Okay, I will say this.

I like the colors of the sporty sunglasses.

I find that the higher end designers

are taking the sporty sunglass look

and sort of elevating it.

So I like it when it's elevated, in high fashion.

Listen, I was doing clashing prints

before clashing print was a thing.

And I have all the photos from the '80s to prove it.

So yes, always and forever clashing prints.

Give it to me, please.

My fashion advice is always buy

the base of your closet, classic.

Choose classic pieces,

choose things that will never go outta style.

And then you can get the trendy stuff, and mix and match.

Billy's court is now adjourned.
