What do you style guys step out in?
Since the pandemic 90% of the shirts, ties, suits, wholecut loafers are in the back of the closet.
I keep 1 white shirt, 1 glacier blue, and 1 suit ready to go just in case, but I'm like 99% casual in 2024.
These last few months
Monday-Sunday -
Late 70's/early 80's dancehall style (Aka my Dad back in the day).
Lots of military surplus with righteous accessories
^Michigan and Smiley.
If I took my time to curate my look, I could go overboard with this. Wooden rings, a little bit of gold, leather pendants, Red Gold and Green/Red Black and Green all the time and all over. It'd be like college all over again, "Yo, you got some weed bro"...
If I'm actually gonna socialize - the last really nice joint I put together was
- Fro tamed a bit, blowed out a bit.
- Shaved face for the most part
- Baby blue cashmere sweater from J. Crew
- the fuzzy kind that people want to touch
- Navy blue slacks from Dockers
- Crisp white sneakers
- pop of non blue to break up the blue ombre.
Had some random college girls* stop me and big me up. I was kinda feeling myself, cause that don't happen as much as it used to.
*I could be your father!
The thing that I've learned about dressing, style, looking good etc - it's damn hard. It's rare that I see someone in DC that's actually dressed well. Suited up or suited down, man or woman, Black or otherwise.
