No Tie Fly.

Now this is how you match you ensemble with your home interior. Accidental or intentional? lol. Any self respecting man that claims to be style inclined should have at least 5 crisp pristine white shirts always ready to go. Black, white and off white/cream very well done by Lolu.

 Never underestimate the importance of good tailoring. More white shirt magic. They are so essential.

A 'Silver Fox' in bright pants. 

 This 3 button linen blazer is pure heaven. Double cuff on the high waist cream pants to sit well above the loafers no socks ofcourse.


Colours well put together for a bright sunny day. Peep how the pocket square brings it all together. ACE.

FONTAINEBLEU aka COOL RELAX BLUE.

One of those few colours that capture the whole essence of summer is the powder/baby/sky BLUE.
Sky blue shirt, off white pants, tortise blue lense Retro super future 'racer montana' shades and the Crokett & Jones tassle loafers. This is so South of France...not that I have ever been there but my imagination says this will fit right in with the St. Tropez set. No?   

Any of these two get ups would go well with this Del toro fading two tone loafers. White, Blue and wood brown. Great lite colour combo.

How about this ensemble...

It all started with the DB...


Choice of four shoes, find a well tailored pair of black high waist pants and you are good to go to that wedding reception (no socks with the shoes by the way) gauranteed head turner.

 Moroccan loafers by Tangerine shoes.



'Precision Mickie'...he is surgical with his STYLE.

My good friend Mickie Noah, one of the very few people that I know personally that really and truly know what they are doing when its comes to precise and intricate styling. I have watched his style and wardrobe grow a lot more sophisticated over the past decade with no sign of slowing down. Salute to a man of true STYLE. 

 A tale of the Borsalino and the double monk...the TANNING.

Those tortise shades...hard!


You can't be a well rounded Yoruba man of style If your AGBADA is not of prestige status. Simple.

A New York Rangers sweat shirt could never look cooler on anyone else.

I know its just a sweat shirt but I have always had a special thing for a well cut one and what's stamped on it. Here is Nas spotting a NY Ranger one. This dude just won't age the older he gets the better he looks. Some NY niceness for you.


I figured any of the below would suffice with the sweat shirt, the nike lunar, 577 new balance, adidas zx700 or the 1600 heritage blue new balance paired with a PRPS, RRL, Edwin or Denham well cut jeans.   


I present to you Sir Stan...

It is not all the time that you find a man that is actually well rounded when it comes to real individual STYLE. Stan Mukoro truely is, a man of immense and impeccable style. 'Surgically' tailored long sleeve bubba and sokoto with the Tom Ford bow loafers it really doesn't get anymore subtly daring than this. Salute.    

Agbada prestige with the 'Oga Madam'. Say hello to Mr and Mrs Mukoro. That lace Agbada is so vintage money! Intense.

Revisting the GREEN...the road less travelled.

  


Michael K Williams makes this peak lapel green wonder even look better. The picture above shows you how beautiful the fabric really is and that silk pattern pocket square is bliss. Personally I would wear this with a dark brown Berluti or Santoni loafers with no socks and a 2 inch cuff on the trousers with a bit of a high waist...not to take anything from Michael he killed it still.

 Same brand different approach. No peak lapels on this one but this is excactly how I would like the trousers. You get the idea...

Wish List featuring Deltoro...

It was love at first sight with these babies. The Deltoro mens multicoloured chevron raffia high top chukka sneaker. Bright enough for the summer fly enough for the colder months. Check out deltoroshoes.com for more niceness.



Hello LUPI...

The ever so colourful Lupita. I like this casual semi dressy number on her. Sight for sore eyes.


The Weekender...

Sometimes you just have to turn it down for the less is more attitude. Throw in some bright colours with the classic navy and you are good to go not looking too shabby for a friday/saturday night. Seersucker 3 button suit with a draw string waist trousers (very light breathable fabric), long sleeve stripped polo RL tee and Soludos espadrilles for the feet (very comfortable). Comfort galore all the way.


Monochrome ensemble in mixed linen and cotton fabric well tailored coupled with covered sandals...you get the idea.
