Wrangler's New 'Greensboro' Fit!

Wrangler is proud to introduce a signature fit from their 2014 Winter range – the Greensboro fit. Named after their spiritual home Greensboro, a city in the U.S. state of North Carolina, the fit marks the direction of the brand and the new “Standard” – ensuring a key fit for the quality and casual style.
The fit is regular in the rise, with a higher back than front to offer a comfortable yet modern look and feel. Through the thigh, the fit is regular for comfort and a trim look. Key to the Greensboro’s look is a slight taper from the knee to the bottom hem – giving the impression of a slimmer leg, for a modern standard fit.

The Wrangler new fit Greensboro is available at Stuttafords Stores.

Augustine Autumn/Winter Collection 2014

It’s a pretty difficult task probing for great winter pieces with the intent of spotting something you really admire or an item that resuscitates a feeling you get right after putting on that summer clothing piece, which instantly activates your confidence on to a wildly exorbitant place that only you know of. We try hard as much, I know no one ever says this but we do or maybe it is because of my naturally skinny body that I was once proud of now annoyed at? For the first time ever, after contemplating Augustine’s latest autumn/winter collection on Facebook that also showcased at Mbfwj to add on, really changed the way how I view men’s fashion in winter, It really gave off that summery-excitement joint feeling the extreme, risky and edgy way of dressing was the main threshold of this collection. And you really can’t blame the assortment of these wintry fashion pieces when you have two cool ladies Marea Lewis and Justine August who faultlessly serve us with great menswear fashion trends all round.
 Situated in Parkhurst, Johannesburg where all the magic works happen, this fashion enthused duo keeps the same vision that it always had of detail, the fabric and excellent tailoring and this comes up often on to their latest collection, with a culmination of three main genres that played a mandatory role on to their complete collection, displayed all that Augustine is all about through a selection of great photographic images. I salute the team on yet again a dope collection!

Denim Apparrell for Winter!

Denim has been around, and it is one of the most coveted fashion pieces that everyone should have on their closets, And with winter all up on our grillz (Literally, I dont have grillz, I wish I had.) its time to gear up for this cold season. Denim is imperative for any fashion enthused individual because you find that you want something that's either ripped or has two tone colours which we call ombre, something that adds a bit of edge to your dry dull wardrobe and denim plays that role especially if you have the perfect denim that you feel comfortable in. So here I present to you outfits to try this winter featuring this fashionable piece that never ceases to run out!

Ephymol SS14 - SAFW

Ephymol has been a household name when it comes to menswear here in South Africa, showcasing since 2002 at SA Fashion Week, this year’s showcase was no different, the same aesthetic that Ephymol has kept over the years of elegance and class was still featured in the entire collection. I’m always on the line to see the growth and development of menswear and fashion designers and what each of them bring to the fashion industry. The past few years menswear was not that popular as much as it is now but through mediums like MBFW and SAFW it has evolved and will keep on evolving.

Ephymol’s SS14 collection was all about a fashion-exploring man, a bold man draped in Ephy prints whilst still maintain the standard of looking classy and elegant at the same time. The main focus was the prints, the retro assurance as well as the luxurious fabrics. Whilst the 50s and the 70s era being the backdrop inspiration of this collection, the pieces are beautifully curated, understated and speak volumes. Words can never be enough to tell how beautiful something is, Thanks to Jerri Mokgofe for the images.

Fashion Week || Laduma Ngxokolo - MaXhosa Knitwear #MBFWJ

Mercedez Benz Fashion Week (Johannesburg) has come and go,  and we have seen every trend and every designers perspective through their collections for A/W trends and how these should be articulated. What I admired wholeheartedly so at this year’s MBFWJ was the impeccable precision when it came to detail, The patterns, fabric, textures, the ambiance and just the general feel  on how the show pans out.  And one designer who fitted all this in was  Laduma Ngxokolo for his Xhosa patterned brand:  MaXhosa Knitwear. The splendor and spark of this collection certainly left a mark on South African fashion, specifically on the menswear side of things.  It’s quite evident that Ngxokolo’s collection were top-noch due to the positive feedback it has received right after its showcase, I for one went nuts when I first had a look at the images on Jerri Mokgofe’s blog .

In his words – “ My jouney into Maxhosa by Laduma knitwear started in 2010 with a thirst to find knitwear design  solutions for amakrwala  (Xhosa initiates)” The vision behind the brand can be encapsulated in a way where Ngxokolo used his love of Xhosa bead work, patterns, symbolism and colours to create suitable Xhosa inspired knitwear for Xhosa initiates..  which has now changed into creating designs admired by people of all cultures and races.

How ironic that I’ve been writing mainly of Xhosa-Inspired work  as of late. I love my culture!

Fashion || Winter Menswear Fashion Trends!

Well if you thought I'd get away without posting about menswear trends, you figured it out all wrong. Menswear is very dear to my heart and I often have to face incredible urges of posting about menswear, But what I find is that there's not much to post about when it comes to menswear, and when posting about menswear nigga's aren't really interested on the latest trends, They just want a fashion piece for its value and how it fits into their lifestyle regime. My aim is to inspire guys to have a different perspective when it come to clothing and investing on to a few cool winter, summer or spring fashion staples for that matter. I mean there are stylish guys out there - that I even know of, BUT there's still a minority of those nigga's who dress exceptionally well and are always on point. MINOR aint better than MAJOR, right?

Invest on Raglan Raincoats: 

It doesn't have to be the exact coat, but if you have a cool one as awesome as this, then that's perfectly fine.

Black and White -

 Monochrome is still is one of my favorite trends, I feel like its one of those trends who will forever remain relevant, mainly because we all have one or two black and white pieces, besides that Monochrome is minimalistic and works well when you want to pull of that formal wear look.

Orange Is The New BLACK:

 Bold colors make long-lasting impressions, therefore nothing beats having to stand out on to a fashion crowd.
