Menswear Basics

I spent the afternoon with recently launched online fashion & lifestyle brand -87ORIGINS, at their Lagos based home, where they were kind enough to have me over for fittings and a mini photoshoot.

If you follow me on Instagram, which you should, I discovered them not too long ago at their launch event. I was pretty amazed at how aesthetically pleasing their site is and most importantly, how affordable and of great quality their clothing is.

In returning back to Nigeria, I have been blessed to find businesses such as 87Origins, that are restructuring the fashion industry here and giving us all a great place within the country to shop to our hearts content.

87Origins makes wardrobe staples accessible to everyone and anyone.

I styled some of my fav menswear tops, available on their site, showing you how versatile their pieces are.

Styling Bold Eyewear

For someone that is really not into accessories, I always have to remind myself to put on earrings.There are a few pieces that I am automatically drawn to, no need for deliberate reminders, and that is bold statement eyewear.

In today's post, my eyewear is provided by Dap Mod - A Nigerian based line. I was instantly drawn to their pieces that had so much character.
With my minimal ways when it comes to accessories, it was the perfect match.
I always love when I have at least one statement piece that calls for your attention. Dap Mod is that piece today.

I combined my love for bold eyewear with a random bandana and sports bra, for the first look. Then,went for a deep v jacket for the second look.

          Oh yeah, I am currently in braids and I am loving it.

Details!

Sometimes, I love leaving the detailing to my bags.

 I paired my Zara Vest and Shorts with these ankara bags from Y'Ray Designs.

These are perfect for adding detail to any outfit and with lots available, 

it was pretty hard to pick out these three.
