Style Muse - Mboko Ndima Mobutu

Hello there...... how is everyone doing? 

Just the other day I was asked to blog more on mens fashion and decided we will  balance it out from now so the men can also be inspired just hope they take notes.

I honestly do not know why it took me ages to blog about his dapper style but hey here it is.
With being a regular on street style  blogs I stumbled  across Mboko Ndima Mobutu, it seems his pictures are cropping up on nearly every menswear blog. 

23 year- old Paris-based contributing stylist/editor for monthly french magazine Be ( Lagardere), menswear fashion editor for online monthly publication Ghubar...such a mouthfull for a young one, how inspiring 

He discribes his style as " playfull, refined and gentlemen-like" and protrays exactly that  in every outfit,  truly owning it everytime you come across him.

What I love about his polished style is that its never dull or monotonous and his attention to detail is immaculate. Its quite obvious that he has a fetish for accessories with those colourful socks,penny loafers to modern oxford lace shoes, signature clear glasses, wide brim stretson hats, stacked bracelets/watches,  and always having a fabulous tote/portfolio to carry. you must understand that being well dressed takes time and effort, ist a natural gift to Moboko as he always looks effortless.

So I hope our male readers have taken  pointers or were inspired by Moboko Ndima Mobutu style and would love to hear what you think of his style so please  comment.

Thank you for stopping by

#Trending----->> The Man Bag

Hey Fashion Freaks

We all remember the scene from Hangover,The Movie with Alan saying " Its where i keep all my things, i get alot of compliments on this. Plus its not a purse its a Satchel"
Over the years there has been controversy around the man accerssory but it seems to be accepted now being popular on the mens runway. Recently been a burgeoning trend in men's fashion accessories to make life on the move rather easier and cooler than ever before and thats the Man Bag, The Murse ( Man Purse)  The Tote, The Satchel, The Duffle, The Messenger and even the Clutch.
Europeans have taken this trend by storm and its even come to the point where an outfit is not complete without this necessary tool and style accessory.

 

Fashionista, Socialite and fashion blogger Jerri Mokgofe

This trend works so well with all types of men and they don't have to get their pants all bulky especially the ones that have more than one mobile phone, ipad\laptops, keys, wallets and all those extra things that they carry.

So for those uber masculine men who aren’t sold on the man bag yet  below are celebs rocking Falls biggest trend.

Rapper Jay-z

R&B Singer Usher rocking a matching brown tote

Its no longer just a ladies thing so lets not judge the next time you see a guy carrying his bag and lets welcome this trend with open arms
