Dos and don’ts...

 
Dos and don’ts
Quick everyday tips……
Dress the ways you want to be addressed. Your dressing sells you so... There isn’t a second chance to give a first impression. Things to consider when dressing:
1.       Wear weather appropriate clothes- This is very important because Nigeria is a country were you see someone putting a blazer on under the hot sun or using a sunglasses at night. Biko which sun are u protecting your eyes from at night abi moon don dey blind person ni...
2.       Dress according to the occasion: whatever you wear must tally with occasion say for example when attending stuff a business gathering, an interview or the like a suit would be appropriate…
3.       Always iron your clothes- Even with our electricity problem in some parts of Africa notably Nigeria we should always try to avoid putting on rumpled cloths.
4.       Avoid wearing dirty clothes- This one ehn.. don't even get me started on my experiences with people who put on dirty clothes in public transport. Pls avoid other people enjoying the stench coming from your clothes. I think we all know when our clothes are dirty and not to be worn.
5.       Always have a neat haircut.
6.       Avoid wearing your trousers below your waist (sagging)- All I have to say about this is 'Are you a prisoner?'
7.       Always use a perfume or body spray- Pls this one sef join all my body odour experiences with people in this country. We must always try to smell nice at all times.
8.       NEVER wear stripes on stripes nor pattern on pattern- This is a mistake most people make mixing the same patterns or wearing striped clothes on eachother. Although their is a new trend on how to mix strips (We would make sure we communicate that with you) but pls avoid strips on stripes. You really don't wanna be looking like a Zebra
9.       Always polish your shoes and please do use leather cream
10.   Never wear ill-fitting clothes- This is just putting tight clothes on and on this regard we should always try to dress according to our weight.
                                                                                                                           
Random extra stuff to complete your freshness
1.       Brush your teeth well plus remember to clean your tongue too as failure to do so would cause some embarrassing scene.
2.       Air your shoes often. This helps take care of any foul odour, just imagine you have got to take off your shoes (for whatever reason) and as you take them off a foul odour accompanies…just imagine.
3.        Always carry around a clean white handkerchief.
4.       You may just decide to take along some minty sweets they serve as quick fix for not so good breath
5.        Its good to have a pocket perfume which would ensure freshness at all times.

Hey there, this is welcoming you to the best fashion and grooming tips ever. No matter your stature there’s something that can show forth your good looks. This is a continuation from our last post and we are really sorry we went back on our promise and took a long break.

11.   A t-shirt
12.   A tie
13.   A pair of slip-ons (palm slippers)
14.   A pair of shorts: and yeah everyone can wear shorts. Gone are the days when it was WRONG to wear shorts anywhere outside the beach. As long as them are not too mini.
15.   Countless underwear (either boxers or briefs): sure you question the fact that underwear should be countless. ‘As guys one or two should do’, well the thing with that is it wouldn’t take long before they wear out. Ideally you are to wear two boxers a day to keep good hygiene.
16.   A wallet(to help keep those naira bills in good condition)
17.   A polo shirt(it can take you anywhere)    
                                                                     Others may include:
18.   A wrist watch
19.   Cufflinks
20.   A bow tie
21.   Suspenders or braces: most appropriate for loop less trousers
22.   Sun shades
23.   Card holder
24.   Snap back or pone cap
25.   Hand wears such as hand bands, hand beads etc.
These are the necessary things you should have. If you have most of these things you are good to go.
