Hello  everyone, Hope you had a lovely weekend, mine was really lovely and fun filled.I am very sorry for my delay in on bringing up a post, i have just been so busy with school and some extra classes which you will know about very soon.To the business of the day, Is it just me or have you also notice the return of Chelsea boots or classic mens boots as i call it.The Chelsea boots flocking everywhere from the offices to campuses even on the street and it's definitely back in trend.
     Firstly, for people who don't know what a Chelsea boot is, Chelsea boot is an ankle high boot with an elastic panel by the sides.The origination of Chelsea boots dates back to the 80s firstly made for Queen Victoria of the great Britain.It's firstly called the J. sparkle-hall's patent elastic ankle boots [named after its inventor]. It later became popular for horse riding and later gained more recognition when the legendary band THE BEATLES started wearing them in the mid 90s and the Chelsea boots are even called Beatles boot back then . Chelsea boots could be unisex [worn by both men and women] though we have the one with raised heels specially made for the ladies.
Chelsea boots now comes in different forms:
1. PATENT LEATHER CHELSEA BOOTS

 This is best worn for your formal events like weddings, birthdays etc.
2. SUEDE CHELSEA BOOTS


 If you are looking for how to kill your smart casual look with the chelsea boot the suede type is the best.
3. THE BEATLES BOOTS

 This is the type my brothers from the east[eastern Nigeria] loves to rock and this is best worn by tall men. P.S If you are short or average height like me don't go for this because it will look ridiculous on you.
4.BROGUES CHELSEA BOOTS

This is my favorite and i will be using it a lot on my upcoming posts. This is just the perfect classic man boot.
5. SNEAK-CHELSEA BOOTS

I am very sure if you have read about Chelsea boots anywhere you will be wondering what type of Chelsea boots are this again. Anyways this boots are made by a Nigerian urban fashion designer MOZE APPAREL[i respect this brother a lot]. This particular designer gives the whole Chelsea boots a new look with its sneakers sole and gives it that urban vibe that you want to rock forever.

BOY 1: I just can't be in the law department.
BOY2: But why?

BOY1: I just can't be wearing black and white all week ...its just too blank for me.
BOY2: Yeah  me too... it's just too boring.

This is like the everyday discussion when people want to talk about the law student. Yeah its true most people can't stand seeing their wardrobe "MONOCHROMED" . This doesn't apply to only law students, i just discovered most people have to wear black and white to work from Monday to Friday.
 Though physics doesn't regard black and white as colors i still think this are the basics of all colors. So am making this post on how you can style the same black and white from Monday to Friday and not looking the same way and note that this are all office looks so enjoy and be inspired!!

MONDAY: BLAZER
The blazers has  become one of the basics of the mens wardrobe because of its versatility and the blazers always gives the dapper look finishing and it also gives you that Gents look. I decided not to use a black blazer because i don't want to make the look too formal. A Classic cardigan or jacket[ not a bomber jacket]will do great too.
TUESDAY: THE SUSPENDERS

All thanks to Albert Thurston who invented this little but great fashion piece. The suspenders known as an alternative for the waist belt which have been in existence for like 300 years now is never completely out of style.The suspenders is simple yet a stylish piece and it always gives you this 80s look that will even make some forget you are wearing the same white shirt  and black trousers as yesterday.
WEDNESDAY: BOLD/VINTAGE TIES

Bold/vintage tie gives your everyday black and white combo that afrocentric touch and makes your look so lit. Fancy/bold socks can be combined for more stylish look.
THURSDAY: THE WAIST COAT
I think this my favorite style. The waist coat is never outta style and this like a distraction from your everyday uniform. For a more stylish look i will prescribe its worn with a matching socks.
FRIDAY: THE CASUAL
 TGIF!!! lol you might wanna loosen up a bit and roll up your sleeves and open a few buttons. This look could be killed with a pair of sandals and a hat to spice it up.
P.S. A "monochromed" designed shirt will be so cool too.
You can actually combine two or more of this looks together to give a dapper look.

Hello everybody, its obvious am not a fan of valentine but am a believer of LOVE and i believe it should be expressed and shown everyday. My schedule this days are kinda tight so i will just drop this video tutorial i made  for stylish men. You have plan for valentine dinner, show, outing etc. and you want to look dapper. Since fashion is define as a way of expressing yourself so why not put a touch of love on you. its the TRUELOVE tie knot style.
I apologize in advance for the quality of the video. This is a different knot style from the everyday Windsor knot style and i see  it as a way of proposing love without even saying a word. I could have made the tutorial in pictures but it will be easier to get with the video. watch and use the comment box below. HAPPY VALENTINE

This is one of the cool stuff 2015 brought back into the fashion world rocked by different celebrities from red carpets to music videos. Septum ring can be traced back to the native Americans in the 70s. There are different type of septum rings and they have different meaning in different culture. This was actually a feminine thing but as time goes on both male and females rock it and thank God for the fake septum ring that enables people like me to rock it without any piercing.
