Five Men's Fashion Tips for the Day


I’m sitting here scrolling through my phone, trying to get the creative juices flowing for this next article. Since Nigerian men and teens especially make so many fashion blunders, I thought I’d give you guys something you probably don’t see too often, a quick list of some men's fashion tips.

Here are 5 Quick Fashion tips:


1. Fit is King – The most dramatic improvement you can make in your style is to make sure everything fits impeccably. Most guys wear clothes that are too large or too tight. Make sure everything you wear is almost hugging the shape of your body – without being tight. Bad fit is an epidemic that you should cure yourself from.

2. Keep it simple – You want a wardrobe that looks great on you, but don’t overdo it. Don’t wear more than three pieces of jewelry or more than three colors; if possible, no jewelry at all. Don’t dress like WizKid if you're not performing at a show. If you want to be flashy, a simpler but stylish look would be sporting a black striped dress shirt with a white blazer, a dark pair of jeans, a dressy belt, and your sharpest dress shoes. You could also add a flashy watch or a simple accessory like an interesting necklace, but nothing more.

3. Change the way you see casual – casual doesn’t have to be boring. Have fun with collared shirts, or take some inspiration from those who approach casual a bit differently. But your safest bet is a round or v-nect tshirt, jeans and sneakers.

4. Pay attention to your supporting pieces - Some sweaters are lean and others are big and chunky. The first rule of thumb is that your top and bottom halves need to match. If you’re wearing a big, chunky, rugged fisherman knit sweater, your bottom needs to be rugged, too. Don’t wear a fisherman’s sweater with a beautiful silk-and-wool suit pant. Instead, wear it with something as casual as cargos or jeans, or dress it up with a Harris tweed blazer.

5. Never go shopping alone – Nigerian guys would probably be like 'WTF' at this one, but better safe than sorry. Never trust the sales people telling you 'Oga, e fit you die' because they just want make their market move. Shop with a friend who will give you their honest opinion.
