Black Man Ting

Dear brethren, been a while I’ve been on here, apologies for not dropping any content for a while now. I’m back and back with a bang! And yes I’m going to overcompensate for my absence with this fire post.🔥

‘A black ninja from the extinct wave clan’ ✊🏿

Fear not for I come in peace. 👼🏾

In this post I’m wearing my favorite color BLACK ! ⚫️
to me it represents more than just a color and transcends hue .
It’s an IDENTITY.

image

Quick run-through about the look on today’s post.

In this look I styled a hand painted jacket customized by my fav Pop/graffiti artist CRUISER with same color straight cut denim and the special turtle neck that adds a certain bang to the outfit like a ninja ⚔
This outfit comfortably goes with a pair of sneakers as seen in the styling or boots. 💯

This is my Black!

Hohoho ⛄️🎄

Merry Christmas lol 🎅🏾 , its that time of the year we start seeing all the decorations and people are extra nice , making new year’s plans and all , well for me I see the season in colors ,for me, this season the colour is white ⚪️, evident from my pictures , my favourite colour is white , I mean lets take a moment to appreciate white as a colour , so underrated.

In this post ‘white December’ I have styled white in a very easy going way 😎 , make sure to take a couple of tips from it. 💡

I’m rocking a classic white tee, round neck , with a white collared shirt , this can easily transform from day at the beach outing to an evening with the boys🤘🏾 , I mean it’s christmas season there’s things happening everywhere , soo 10 points for functionality. 💯

image

I’m putting on a pair of ash grey jeans , a bit ripped , cause manswavy like that, 🌊

image

Then my cyclops gear lol , the cobains 👓, I’m sure you’ve seen me style them in previous posts , I just can’t get enough.

Finally, Rocking grey new balance with neon highlights and white laces , I advice if you’re ever going out this season🎄 , dress comfortably😎 , wear a comfortable shoes ,and these newbalance are comfortable as hell. 👟

image

I hope I’ve inspired you a bit and you’re ready to take one or two things from here: 💡

First tip : let your matching attires be the same shade of white , no one likes different shades of white , and yes white has shades!

Second tip: even though white goes on everything , try not to be too loud about it.

Third tip: because white is very bold and gives life to an outfit or style, make sure you make a nice fashion statement about it.

Fourth tip: and lastly because white is a very clean colour, styling it you must be very clean with it.

Thanks for reading and God bless , drop your comments and style tips as well.

Fusion

Hello people! It’s been a while and i know everyone is doing real good. We are in the month of September already and I pray as 2017 is gradually coming to a close; by God’s grace we shall all witness the end of 2017 and more years to come.AMEN

It’s right about time I, your favorite style junkie Esan take you guys on another smooth ride on today’s blog post ‘Fusion’.

I can tell you all have been silently waiting for what mans will be dropping next; well here it is ‘Fusion’. Before i go on, I’ll like to quickly appreciate everyone of you for your continued review,criticism,advise and head-up on how to make the contents and blog a better one. I am very grateful to you guys. Thank you and God bless.

‘Fusion’ as defined by Wikipedia is the process of combining or blending two or more distinct entities or materials into a new whole or form.

That take us back to the conceptualization of today’s fashion styling which is centered around the title ‘Fusion’. Simply in the sense that I decided to go back a little in time to the 80’s by rocking the iconic “bib-and-brace overalls’ popularly called the “dungarees” nowadays. Then blending this 80’s dungaree vibe into a new skool vibe to give the look a groovy and cool one.

image

Big ups to Cruiser craft for the lit hand painted dungarees and custom made neck-tag. Too Fuego! And also big thank you to Jaquesglam for the cool cobaine shade.

No long talk, let me quickly run through the details about today’s fashion styling for ‘Fusion’.

image

As you can see the way i chose to rock Cruiser craft’s handpainted dungaree and the custom made neck tag; then blending and mixing it up with the new skool vibe of: A plain ash sweat shirt combining with the custom L.A baseball cap in pink from Pharsyde on a white cobaine shade from Jaquesglam plus a plain white socks into a black & white vans of-the-wall sneaker.

image

And just because we are still in the spirit of that summer vibe; makes the look a perfect and chilled one.

Taking a closer glance at the selection of colours that make up this look, we can see that the colours of the outfit choosen are well placed to give the look more life.

image

Regardless of the fact that some fashionable outfit may go off-trend but with a perfect blend and fluidity in style, this fashionable outfit can be brought back into the new skool vibe and still be able to flow with the new skool trend as seen in this post ‘Fusion’.

I personally love the dungarees and i think I’ll start rocking them more often now.

image

I’m sure you all enjoyed the ride today because I did and this is where I’ll stop the ride on today’s blog post ‘Fusion’. Till the next post, make sure you keep an eye on the blog for the next ride and also keep them reviews coming.

I’m still your humble style junkie Esan, till next time. Peace!

BornOfColour,ManOfValor

Hello people, i trust everyone is doing great. Let’s get ready for a nice and wavy collab editoral i had with two of my creative bros; Photographer  Kelechi (@czars_image) for the finessed visuals and Creative Writer Fatai (@alhajifatai_) for the deep words. Let’s sit tight as i unveil the nice piece of the editorial.

BornOfColour,ManOfValor

 

“My post for today is one I feel a very personal attachment with , its intertwined in what most young black men are going through out there.
It is a visual representation of how I feel a young black man is treated, feel free to decipher the pictures through your own view of the world , comments and thoughts are always welcome.

image
In the conception of this project, my aim was to set out to explain the complexities of will and circumstance.


As a young man you have to take care of yourself , struggle and strife , you’re born with enough responsibilities , and you’re already at disadvantage with the world never giving you much, but would all from you in a minute, down at your lowest , you either summon all the melanin in you,get up and go give your hardest, or dwell in your natural disadvantage and watch the world trample on you.


Born of color , Man of Valor , there comes a time you must embrace all it is you stand for as at only that you can get an identity. As you lie In the dirt, take It all in, embrace in and sink your roots, eventually you’ll stand tall one day, like an oak in the forest , you’ve gone through many testing times, now youre here brandished in the colours of victory, your victory chant resounding, you are the Man.

image

 

I will love you all to drop your reviews and your take on the editorial.  I appreciate you all past reviews amd critic. I’ll stop the ride here for today’s post, see you guys till the next post. Peace!

Golf Ready.

It’s swang time! Hello everyone. How are y’all doing? I trust y’all are doing great. I’m back again but this time I’m swanging. Definitely you all can’t wait to see what’s in stock for today’s post because I can’t too.

Let me use this opportunity to wish everyone of you a blessed month of June and also to thank everyone for your constitent support and review on the blog. May God enrich us all with good tidings [Amen].

So for today’s post ‘Golf ready’; it’s just simply about the look actually, the idea was to style myself looking like a young dude ready to go play some golf but not forgetting to stay comfy and wavy at the same time. The only thing missing out was my golf ball and stick, but then I’m still swanging on you all Lol.

Basically ‘Golf ready’ showed the key fact that i can decide to look all sporty but still be able to cement a finessed fashion statement overall.

Without no long talk, let me run through the details about my styling for today’s post;

A white ‘yeezy for president’ shirt will always look gallant on a plain wine ‘shane jean’ short worn on a comfy ‘new balance’ sneakers with a plain white pair of sock. Not forgetting to juice the look up with the addition of the ‘rayban’ shade and ‘nike fani-pack’ plus the silver custom nose ring.

Paying more attention to the colour combination; it’s looking more like a flag overall; white, wine, white. No weird colours cladded in the outfit.  I like this look so much because of the comfort it gives, no irregular or unpleasing feels whatsoever.

Since the outfit is a more sporty and casual one, it apparently can be worn to a casual date, turn-up and chill-up.

Before I drop my pen on today’s post ‘Golf ready’, I’ll implore you all to always drop your reviews both criticism too. And also style yourself up in this exact look if you really love it but make sure you tag @styledbyesan on Instagram when you do.

Do have a blessed day and a blissful month of June. Keep swanging!

Style Essence.

Yo! Everyone, hope you all are doing great. It’s been a while and I’m sure y’all been waiting on what man’s been cooking. Well here it is, another opportunity for everyone of you to come on board with me on another wavy ride about today’s post.

Before i go on, I’ll like to wish you all a happy new month of May, 2017 keeps going and I pray by the end of this 2017 eveyone will have a great testimony to tell.

So back to today’s post ‘style essence’. Basically, the idea of this post was the need to style myself up looking all simply finessed and cool. To show how simple i can actually decide to style myself without so many details cladded-up in the outfit overall; is the reason this post ‘style essence’ just like the name, is very essential and a major key.

Style essence pointed out the key fact that I apparently don’t need so much details in styling myself up before i can make a unique and finessed fashion statement.

image

Let me quickly go into the little details about my styling for today’s post;

A simple plain wine sweatshirt never go wrong on a black skinny & pencil-like denim jean, bringing out the look to live was the addition of the plain white pair of sock worn into a clean and comfy old skool ‘off the wall’ Vans.

image

Taking a closer look, both the sweatshirt and denim skinny jean are both cladded in a dull and boring colour; but then i lit it up with the plain white pair of sock and the Vans sneaker clad in both white and black.

you can see how chilled and wavy the outfit looked overall.

Another chilled fact about this look is it’s flexibility for occasions. It can be worn to a red carpet event or a turn-up and it can also still be worn to an official outing/meeting.

image

Okay so I’ll stop the ride here for today till the next post which you guys should also be on the watch for. I’m very sure y’all enjoyed this ride ‘style essence’. Your reviews are highly appreciated and also you can go on this look for yourself but make sure you tag us @styledbyesan when you do.

Get the look from @pharsyde_inc on Instagram. You can send them a DM. They’ve got you covered.

You all have a lit day and a blessed week innit. Peace!

Yo! People. As Christmas keeps coming closer day-by-day with the anticipation for episode 2 of “imperial style junkie” keeps popping-up. I know y’all can’t wait to ride with me as we continue from last week coupled with the fact that I’m also very eager to start this ride too straight away.

But before then, I’ll love to use this opportunity to thank everyone of you for all your nice reviews in the past and the ones that’ll still pop-in, I’m very grateful and I appreciate you all so much for the support ☺️. Gracias!

So to today’s post as we already know it’s episode 2 of the creative article “imperial style junkie”. But before i go into details about today’s outfit which is a very unique one. I’ll first like to drop a write-up to further broaden our knowledge and let us see the actual essence of the idea “Imperial Style Junkie”.

Imperial style junkie

The world has got a couple of fashionistas,
You get to see a wide variety of styles,
Painting different pictures,
Representing different personalities,
But there’s a fashionista amongst them,
Whose style comes in handy,
He has got a distinctive style,
He has got innovative designs,
In his style you get to see creativity at it’s peak,
He blends old school with new school,
And the sight of it is beautiful and commendable,
In the fashion world,
His style surpasses others,
He has a royal style,

A kind of style that depicts a man with an imperial spirit,

Which he is addicted to,

He sees the fashion world as an empire,
In Which he aspires to be the emperor,
He is an Imperial Style Junkie.

Write-up credits @b.r.a.i.d.e


Yeah! That’s what’s up. Now you all have a better picture of my kinda fashion style.

Going back to the details of today’s outfit.


It is a retro plus urban kinda style. Retro in the sense that i chose to go way back by styling myself in a vintage shirt with a vintage tie to match, tucked into an urban denim crazy jean trouser, a pair of matching socks on a pair of classic brogue shoe.


The idea of this styling was to fuse together old skool with a new skool vibe to create this imperial and distinct look 🌟. The look can be rocked to a dinner and also to an official/corporate meeting.


Paying a closer look at the outfit, we can see that the colours choosen are all well blended and mixed together to make the outfit simple but still on peng 🔥.


The vintage shirt is an off-white with blue prints that combined well with the blue denim crazy jean. With the vintage tie having about 4-5 colours(red,orange,blue,pink,green…) combining very well with the pair of socks and brogue shoe


I’m sure y’all are already loving this look, you can choose to style yourself in this look too and make sure you don’t forget to tag us on Instagram when you post @styledbyesan.

Vintage tie from @i_slay_pieces

I remain Esan, your humble “style junkie”. Stay tuned for the last episode of “imperial style junkie” you don’t wanna miss it.

This is where I’ll stop the ride for today. And don’t forget to turn-up as much as you can because it’s the season with Christmas this Sunday. Enjoy the celebrations and stay blessed all day. Till next time. I say goodbye. Auerovior!
