7 THINGS YOU SHOULD NEVER WEAR TO A WEDDING.

A little disclaimer before we begin. This beginner’s guide is not for the traditional Indian wedding with the traditional desi attire.

Most people believe that only women turn to bridezillas or zombie vampires as they fuss over every aspect of the wedding especially the way they look, whether it is their own wedding, their best friend’s, office colleague’s, relatives near or distant or they are just a plus one. But this belief does not imply that the men get a get-out-of-jail free card and are let off the hook to DRESS and behave as they please.

Men too require to plan their ensemble depending upon the location, venue, and theme of the wedding and their relationship to the happy couple. Of course the general tone is formal but still it is better to consider all scenarios while preparing.

TO HELP MEN TO MAKE MORE RATIONAL AND WISER DECISIONS WE HAVE COMPILED A LIST OF 7 THINGS YOU SHOULD NOT BE CAUGHT DEAD IN AT A WEDDING.

1. JEANS:

However low key the wedding, even your most expensive, uber cool and super stylish denims won’t make the cut. Not even with a blazer or a sport coat. Go for dress PANTS instead.

2. TUXEDO:

Confused. This is because the Groom and his guys in the wedding party are generallyDRESSED in a Tux. It is like girls can not wear white to the wedding. The bride should be the only one wearing it. Same rules apply here. Go for a formal suit instead. It would be really cool if you can enquire in advance what colors the wedding party is sporting on the wedding day and avoid those too.

3. SHORTS:

Even if it is a breach wedding please avoid wearing shorts. If the weather is too warm or the wedding is at a beach then opt for linen PANTS or light weight chinos.

5. SWEATPANTS & HOODIES:

Avoid joggers too. I am sure you can stay without them for a day. However athletic or fitness freak you are abstain from flaunting it. Even runaway brides are DRESSED elegantly.

6. AVOID ALL BLACK:

The monochrome look is a classic but all black is best reserved for funerals and other grave occasions. It is a wedding for heaven’s sake, lighten up and add a dash of color to make your monochrome look pop.

7. ATHLETIC SHOES:

A strict No No. Go for DRESS SHOES, brogues, and loafers.

3 Places In The World That I Want To Visit.

Traveling has been on my mind for months. Being able to change locations and live somewhere else around the world is life changing. People that travel often have a lot to say about it, traveling is one of the best feelings. Now that there  is social media people are able to see travelers from around the world show their experiences to millions of people. Most people spend half of their life traveling and working at the same time, being able to do this in this day of age is amazing and I feel that more people should start traveling more frequently. A few months ago I started considering traveling soon. I have been in California my whole life and the only place that I have been out of state is Las Vegas, but I live in Southern California so going to Las Vegas and back isn’t quite the adventure that I’m looking for.

Places That I Want To Visit 

Tokyo, Japan

Japan has been on my list for a while, actually ever since I was a kid I had always wanted to visit Japan. The culture is amazing to me and I’d love to be a tourist one day in Tokyo, I had many friends that have been there and they always tell me that it’s one of the greatest experiences they had.

Paris, France 

Paris is every travelers desination, I would love to visit soon and even live there for a few months. I learned the French language so I would be able to communicate with people there.

London, United Kingdom 

Growing up, I watched a lot of tv shows based in London which made me fall in love with the UK. Traveling around the UK has always been a place that I knew for sure that I would love to visit in the near future.

Visiting other countries around the world is something that I really have a desire to do. Many of my friends and family have traveled, I don’t think that it would be long until I will be able to start traveling and really getting a chance to see and experience the world and learn new things!
Have you ever wanted to travel is traveling?

Burst of Colours! Onwuchekwa Releases SS17 Collection tagged ‘Eclectic’

 

Onwuchekwa by Chikezie Daniel is a proudly made in Nigeria high street brand that focuses on changing and reinventing the way men and women should look. The Onwuchekwa collections features mix and match, clean lines and pops of colours.

In this brand new Eclectic collection, Onwuchekwa creates a classic look from fabrics of silk, neoprene, crepes and a beautiful Intarsia knitting of birds in different positions. The looks are also with bold print details of fuchsia pink, black, mint green, cool grey and monochrome.

A true minimalist as Chikezie Daniel who is the creative director of the Onwuchekwa brand is a strong believer of Eclectism, hence the inspiration behind this collection is “ECLECTIC “. Chikezie recalls how he loves the vibrant burst of colours and the power they possess to make people burst into smiles.

Chikezie Daniel who is a 2015 Lagos fashion and design week Fashion focus finalist adds that “with this collection, I want people to learn to embrace their weird side, for I believe the weird side people try to conceal is actually the realest version of them”.

The collection gracefully re-echoes the words of George Elliott that said “it is never too late to be what you might have been”. Onwuchekwa is a platform for realism, a movement for self-actualization.

The Eclectic collection is a ready to wear for every alpha male (and girls who dress like boys who crave attention just like girls).
