Ok Guys, I stumbled on a post by Denola Grey on Party from Daytime to Night Time in Style with these 6 Fashionable Tips, so I decided to share it here. Hope you find them inspiring. Enjoy!
Over time I’ve become a fashion
anthropologist – trying to save earth by eradicating one bad outfit at a
time. Recently I’ve noticed some growing trends in the party scene that
need to be addressed as soon as possible and we will be treating them
today. From how not to dress when you’re partying at night with the
crew to heading out in the sun for a brunch or social event, here are
some key tips to never forget alongside your car keys and wallet.
Partying the night away in style – Tips1. Slippers and clubs are a no-no
Guys, while I appreciate the enthusiasm we have for the casual laid-back
style, we mustn’t take it too far. Since my move back to Lagos, one
time too many I’ve seen men wearing slippers to the club. Don;t get me
wrong, I appreciate the confidence and gusto it takes to walk into a
broken-glass obstacle course like SIP or Escape, but it’s really not
appropriate. Velvet Slippers are an easy substitute or even tassel
loafers. Your feet thank you in advance.
2. The tee should be the right size
To everyone that has recently joined the
#fitfam and #gymflow movement, I applaud you! Get your fitness on! But
as you’re getting more built, it might be tempting to show off your
biceps and packs and all, don’t take it too far! Refrain from buying
Tees that are two sizes too small. It is never a good look. Don’t cross
the line between looking ‘swole’ and looking flat out ‘SWOLLEN’. You are
not interviewing to be a bouncer at a club or an extra in Magic Mike.
3. Shorts are not a bad thing
Listen, Nigeria is hot!!! I never really liked wearing shorts before
because; I was quite self-conscious about my knees. When I moved back
however, and I was killing myself daily by wearing denim and thick
chinos, I quickly got over that insecurity. Guys, it’s okay to wear
shorts! Granted there is a time and place (i.e Don’t wear shorts to a
the club), but you can still wear them and look suave. Wear it with a
nice tee and a blazer over it and you look like you fit right in at the
Hamptons. Everyone loves a good Hamptons comparison. Now, for those of
you who want to wear shorts but can’t because you keep missing leg day
in the gym, its time to get it right. Word on the street is that girls
appreciate guys with nice legs too. Who knew?!
Daytime partying never looked so good – Tips
Have you ever been faced with this
problem? You’re invited to a brunch or a party during the day and the
dress code is ‘semi formal’. Lord knows I have had mild anxiety on
Saturday mornings looking for an outfit that wouldn’t make me carry last
among the guests. I have since developed an easy formula to help me
when getting dressed for such events.
There are three things to know when dressing up for a daytime party.
1. White is your friend: A white shirt is a good base that goes with any light or earth tone blazer. White trousers are also good too.

2. Avoid heavy
materials: Don’t wear corduroy blazers or heavy denim. Opt for light
chinos or even cotton/linen blends for the trousers. You don’t have to
wear a tie either. Keep all the materials to a light breezy minimum.
3. Loafers, Boat Shoes
or Light colored velvet slippers are the footwear of choice: Coffee
brown tassel loafers are always a good choice of footwear. It says
formal and casual at the same time.
