Loyle Carner (born 6 October 1994) is a British rapper, songwriter, and poet celebrated for his introspective lyricism and emotionally resonant storytelling. Emerging from South London’s creative scene, he gained widespread acclaim with his debut album Yesterday’s Gone (2017), followed by Not Waving, But Drowning and hugo, each showcasing his distinctive blend of jazz-infused beats and deeply personal narratives. Carner’s work explores themes of identity, family, and vulnerability, earning him multiple Mercury Prize nominations and a devoted following that values authenticity over bravado. With his grounded charm and poetic voice, Loyle Carner has become one of the defining figures of contemporary UK hip-hop.

His personal style mirrors his artistry—effortlessly understated yet rich in texture and meaning. Carner favours relaxed tailoring, vintage sportswear, and muted palettes that evoke a sense of lived-in sophistication. His eyewear choices reflect this thoughtful minimalism: he’s been spotted wearing designs from Oliver Peoples, Burberry, and Prada opting for rounded metal frames and soft square acetate styles that feel both classic and intellectual. Whether performing live or attending cultural events, his glasses add an understated edge to his look—modern, introspective, and quietly refined, much like his music itself.
