Double denim chic...reflectors, pout and all.

'Casually relative'. Gold Rayban reflectors, tan Mulberry bag (a classic winner), nice touch with the gold watch and necklace all toned down with classic all star Converse. She could not have sent summer off in a better way.  





2 weddings and a few dapper friends...summer round up.

Good touch with the lilac pants, paisley pocket square to add some colour to this ensemble, gold buttons on the DB to match the gold embroided scorpions on the loafers and a velvet bow tie to top it all off. Dapper Tope had this one sewn up beautifully. 




Loved the beaded sleeve and waist dress on the Mrs as well. Elegantly killed with the Valentino studded heels. Style and Grace.

Last day for light colours till the sun comes back around...goodbye summer.

 Some blues just before the winter / bad weather sets in. Well matched and worn.

Something for the ladies...

I run into ladies all the time and they tell me they do check the blog but they never find any women post. I like womens style and fashion too, not the 'rowdy' type but the elegance of simplicity that translates into class, style, grace and just pure baddassness! Here are some of my favourites below. 
Double denim and nude pumps a sure fire winner. Simple yet stylish and graceful. CLASS.

Camel coat (a wardrobe staple for both men and women) on double denim and animal print heels. Great fit with those jeans and loose denim shirt. Love it.

Pink suit elegance with a blue stripped shirt, nice heels and a fedora. You will have to know what you are doing to really pull this off.

LOVE THIS! From the bottom to the top, patent loafers *winner* the pleated bottom and sleeveless denim top on this dress is pure unconventional style. The hat kills off the whole pose. win win win! Its getting cold so throw a navy double breasted coat on this and you are good to go to that party.

A TALE OF THE HIGH HEELS, THIGHS, SKIMPY FLORAL NUMBER AND THE TOP HAT. Whats not to love? 

ANKARA COUTURE. Very well put together and innovative. Wish I knew the name of the designer to give them credit.

Brilliant colour play, I like the demin shorts. Casual but stylish, she looks like she knows what she's doing she also looks very baddass! WIN!

Nice denim overalls, lovely touch with the bow tie and hat.

How last saturday was worn...

Nice weather saturday at a friends wedding reception somewhere far away in the woods of Hertfordshire. Linen blazer, light cotton v neck tee, silk pocket square, linen blend pants and a decent pair of blue suede loafers, yep that pretty much took care of the business. I like 'simple' for the most part.   



Just for fun...Spot the difference...lol

Keeping the tradition alive.

Salute to designer / stylist KING HAKBAL (Hakeem Balogun) for carrying on the fashion tradition of our fathers. The Agbada prestige must never be lost. Thank you. To see more of his work visit kinghakbal.com he makes great suits as well. 


PERFECTLY tailored, coloured, detailed and fitted.

 Great detailing with the white buttons on the blazer and even greater round up with the tan suede loafers, its right up my alley. P E R F E C T O!

STYLE STITCH.

Didn't realise Berluti made such nice threads. I put together my favourite ensemble from their new collection...fantasy...dreaming is still legal last time I checked. Alternate the off white pants with the blue tailored jeans with those gorgeous suede loafers, I call that the ultra billionaire casual. No faults here.


Gotta love this whole get up. Make two outfits out of these, linen suit with baby blue fringed tassle loafers or just the stripped linen shirt with the pants.

The Casual Tux look...

Live a little why so serious go casual with the tux, v neck tee or a light linen blend jumper underneath.



How about an all black tux done casually with these Versace x Superga trainers, something colourful to brighten up the black plus its just plain fly I love them.
