<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">Sometimes our skin needs a little bit of extra help to get it to where we need it to be. Sometimes it’s masking, other times a spritz throughout the day and sometimes we require a serum. For skin irregularity and dark spot correcting, Kiehl’s offers Brightening and Smoothing Treatment Water, as well as the Dark Spot Solution. Bother lightweight and fast absorbing, they offer both on-the-go solutions, as well as overnight opportunities. Incorporate ingredients such as Activated C (a Vitamin C derivative), illuminating minerals and Licorice Root, expect brighter, clearer, hydrated skin.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">Getting dressed up for the polo tends to sound like an exhausting experience, when in fact, it’s rather simple. Start by considering your take on casual chic / smart-casual. Then, possibly move your thoughts a level up: Think garden party, premium daywear, perhaps even formal linen wear. Once you’ve managed to conjure a look or two together, apply some colour dynamics to it. Look at sunburst yellows, blush-pinks, summer blue skies, ivory, and even valley greens. The idea is to add life and delight with the colour and block it in a comfortable manner for a full day of action-packed horse polo and sun-kissed bubbly drinking. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">Menswear is a slightly smaller category than womenswear, with population demographics being one of the reasons for this as well as the fact that women tend to buy clothing more frequently than men. But the segment has gained ground over the last decade. The South African market alone has been forecast to reach R41 billion in value in 2021, driven by a growing interest among men in their appearance and personal grooming. African fashion is seeing growing recognition abroad, and menswear, in particular, has become bolder, more expressive and less restricted by social norms.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">Jason Storey, founder, </span>and<span style="background-color: white;"> CEO of clothing brand Unknown Union proclaimed that fashion in Africa is verging on revolutionary. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
“The African renaissance is upon us. Right now, I think the world is turning its energy and its gaze towards this continent. Walking through the streets, seeing the way people are styling themselves and viewing the designers' work I see limitless creativity, I see fresh interpretations of things, and I see a daring approach to fashion with audacity and boldness that is particular to this space.”</div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Another panelist, creative director and designer of House of St Luke, Mxolisi Mkhize, noted the shift away from the idolizing of European fashion to an embracing of local heritage. He spoke of a time growing up when Italian fashion was coveted and considered superior to locally-made apparel. But this mindset is changing.</div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
“People are embracing their African cultures and traditions. Being different has become exciting and I believe that in terms of design we’re competing on a global level,” Mkhize said.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif;">Gilmore Moyo, a Zimbabwean social entrepreneur, and</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif;"> PR consultant echoed these sentiments. “In Africa, I think we're beginning to find ourselves more, but I think we need to find even more inspiration from each other and not look to Europe or Asia. We're seeing more fashion inspired by African roots and backgrounds and we’re beginning to realize</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif;"> that we need to take our expression to the world.”</span></div>
<span lang="EN-ZA" style="line-height: 150%;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
While African fashion may be enjoying growing exposure globally, one could argue that talent and ingenuity have always existed here. “Look at how our ancestors covered themselves in jewellery and beadwork. African fashion has always been on the cutting edge; it was just never celebrated,” said Seth Shezi, a local PR consultant, writer, and lifestyle brand strategist. </div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
He believes that what’s changed is that people have gained confidence. “People are realizing that who they are and how they feel they want to express themselves is enough. It doesn't need verification. And that confidence is highlighting creativity that’s always been there.” </div>

<span style="background-color: white;">Less bound to the rigid gender roles of the past, fashion </span>too<span style="background-color: white;"> is moving into a more gender fluid space. “There are fewer stores now that have separate men's and women's fitting rooms, and many are mixing men's and women's clothing in the same department,” said </span>Anuell<span style="background-color: white;"> Ahmar, editor-in-chief and executive director at online magazine </span><i>Style Me Strauss</i><span style="background-color: white;">.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
“I visit a store and I find myself purchasing items from the ladies’ section because there are specific garments that I’m drawn to.</div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
“As a South African market, we are pushing boundaries and moving towards a genderless state where men and women are realizing that they don’t have to conform to a style that has been imposed on them by societal norms years prior. We are starting to find our individuality and identity as individuals," Ahmar said.</div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Similarly, Moyo said that current men’s fashion is reflecting a time in history when women controlled the motherland. “I'm seeing softer fabrics used in menswear and skirts for men are appearing on the runway. When we go back to the origin of our continent women ran households are they’re the ones inspiring fashion.”</div>

<span lang="EN-ZA" style="line-height: 150%;"><div style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">While the panel’s attitude towards the state of local fashion from a design perspective was a positive one, the discussion around the effects of cheap Chinese imports on the local production sector was less optimistic. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Deliberating on whether SA’s manufacturing sector stands a competitive chance in producing clothing not just for the local market but for the rest of the globe, many felt that the bulk of responsibility lies at a government level. </div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
But Storey urged local designers to tap into the technical expertise that is lying dormant since the thriving days of SA’s clothing production sector, a time when Cape Town specifically served as a manufacturing hub for a number of global fashion houses.</div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
“The individuals who trained and worked under those experts are still here. They're still alive today. And my experience here has been that when you find somebody who can do really amazing work, they tend to be 50 years old and over.” </div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
He cautioned: “We need to act quickly, whether in the public or private space. The window of opportunity is closing quickly. Once those individuals are gone that expertise is no longer here.”</div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Shezi, meanwhile, highlighted the power of social media in influencing perception around the style and design that exists within the African continent, especially among Millennials and Gen Xers.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif;">“In terms of access, social media manages to catapult or be a catchment for what magazines can’t do. While the print magazine industry is busy dying, social media is there to amplify whatever the young generation is doing,” he said.</span></div>
<span lang="EN-ZA" style="line-height: 150%;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Referencing the Afropunk festival in Joburg, which gathered a crowd of bold, fashion-forward attendees visibly inspired by their African roots, Shezi noted that social media coverage of the event helped showcase their creative expression.</div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
“For kids at that age to be able to feel confident and express themselves to that level is relatively new for us, and it's adding to this pot that is very fertile at the moment for African fashion. It's a good space to be in and I just hope that everyone sees that and harnesses it.”</div>

Continuing with their salute to the newsmakers of the digital era, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/pumasouthafrica/">PUMA South Africa</a> has slipped the SA rapper, songwriter and record producer into the seasonal debut – the RS-X Trophies. The ideology behind this iteration of the RS-X sneaker is to celebrate reinvention of fame in an era of social media and reality television.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

The sneaker, available in a variety of colourways, was innovative and incorporated high-quality cushioning technology back in the 80s. Today, it boasts all that and more, on steroids.

<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">Set in the heart of the Alphen Gardens is the <a href="http://www.kovecollection.co.za/">Kove Collection</a>’s newest gem – <a href="https://incognitobar.co.za/">Incognito Bar</a>. Consider an eloquent glass and steel structure overlooking green landscaping with a pool, perfectly perched on the foot of the mountain – that is exactly what you get when you discover Incognito and its location. Airy, light and architectural, the venue brings a much-appreciated contemporary spin to the more traditional, historic location and boutique hotel structure.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: large;">L’Oréal Men Expert have announced multi-talented American singer, songwriter, and actor, Adam Noah Levine as the new global spokesman for the brand. The Maroon 5 lead singer and “The Voice” judge will be the face of the brand’s Hydra Energetic range. The announcement comes in line with evidence of Levine’s classic modernity: today’s ordinary man, being a great father and husband, living his dream as an internationally acclaimed entertainer, tirelessly striving to always deliver 110% of himself to everything he does – making him the perfect partner for the anti-fatigue range. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: large;">Bold and known for his signature deadpan banter, it’s perhaps no surprise that Levine finds himself returning for the 15th season as a coach on The Voice. But as well as notching up a veteran status on the award-winning show, he’s also used to raising awareness for philanthropic causes and using a platform of loyal followers on social media to speak for those whose voices are less able to be heard. For Maroon 5’s most recent hit; ‘Girls Like You’ featuring Cardi B, Levine persuaded 26 kick-ass women from Jennifer Lopez to Ellen Degeneres – as well as his wife Behati and daughter Dusty Rose – to appear in the video. From social justice activists to actresses, the message of the video was clear; women rock and Levine wants to make sure that everyone knows it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">I’m not sure about you, however, I personally am a sucker for a great bag. Much like most women fall head over heels for a great pair of shoes, I pretty much lose the plot for an awesome bag. The beauty of today’s fashion accessories’ industry is that the variety of ‘man bags’ on the market is extensive, allowing every guy to have a specific style they prefer that works for their personality, budget, and wardrobe. Crossing over from Fall Winter into Spring and now much more Summer in Africa, I’ve identified some crucial bag styles that will ensure your accessory-aura will be centered with your fashion-chi.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">The Crossbody is a hybrid of casual day and sports accessory. Essentially derived from sling bags, the Crossbody has subsequently become a designer take on something small enough to carry anytime, anywhere, while being smart enough for the office too. There is a variety of crossbody bags for different scenarios and moods and also for a frenzy of practical needs. If you’re the kind of guy who wants compact style that can transit between the office and the streets, a well-designed crossbody is an ideal friend. It doesn’t hurt that you can carry it in your hand or slip it over your shoulder as and when you please.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">The Tote was originally a bag made for women by design. As fashion as slowly transited through gender debate, it started developing a more masculine appeal. The shaped and styling remained, but the size got a tad bigger. Its purpose solely moved from housing make-up, smartphones, pocket diaries, and a purse, to incorporate space and placement for minimalist laptops and power banks. What this meant for the tote and for man is that now he can carry it to work and not flinch at the thought of misjudgment. The tote is a small take on a carry-all, and usually comes packed with way more design detail and shaping. The tote, also doubles as an overnight bag, especially to men (and women) who know how to pack like a boss.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">The Shopper is a go-to bag for <i>anyone</i> and <i>everyone</i>. It’s essential. By design, it’s meant to be compact and practical. However, larger than normal shoppers do exist and do have a place on this earth for some of us who enjoy the dramatics. By style, it has evolved from a mundane piece of accessory available in limited colours and fabrications. Today, you can get a shopper to match every look in your closet. When ‘shopping’ around for a shopper, look for classic style lines, fabric with longevity and easy to maintain and clean, and colours that will enter and exit seasons without losing their modernity. Shoppers are generally meant for less formal occasions, yet, if you choose wisely, you could find that your shopper works for business scenes as well as weekend experiences with the pals.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Consider your needs, where you will be using the bag(s) and how often. These answers will assist you in deciding what practical solutions to look out for when acquiring a new bag for the season. Don’t forget to consider backpacks, especially for their ergonomic value. And in case you didn’t know, they make gorgeous designer backpacks these days, even in leather, with a compartment for your laptop and back support.<span style="font-size: 9pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

As much as the thought was appreciated, some guests would have much preferred the closer Stud Club hospitality area from the entrance as per previous years. However, it didn’t matter as soon as guests found each other and enjoyed the day.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">Eyewear as accessories has evolved from its humble beginnings. Modernity has seen basic frame shapes in limited colour wheels mature into a sometimes-overwhelming array of options. From a spectrum of different shapes and sizes to surprising wide ranges of colours. What’s been a welcomed step forward is the take on men’s sunglasses. They have seen themselves step to the front with confidence and provide gents with a great selection of on-trend shades, as well as classic transitional styles.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">Colour has been a rather important factor with men’s eyewear, especially considering the materials used for specific sunglasses. The most popular creations have been all-black or black rims with a dark brown tint. More recently, bold colours have come to the fore, including white, which can be considered more of a statement colour, with a variety of lens tints to match, including polarized yellow. It’s great buying statement frames, however, unless you’re always looking for attention, selecting transitional colours such as black and tortoiseshell will set you far by budget and then up your game each season with one pair of wild frames.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">The shape of your face influences the best shape of frames that will work with your face. Round faces would require more square-ish or rectangular frames; square faces should consider aviators or perhaps something round. Oval shaped faces are the winners as generally, any shape frame will work with their face. When pairing your face to your sunnies, also consider softening the effects by maybe selecting a clear frame and lens or slightly tinted lens or perhaps if you have an oval face, harden the look with a thicker and darker rim and tinted lenses. Of course, buy what you feel most comfortable with, however, do consult sales assistants at sunglass counters as they do get training on how to identify the right frames for the right shape of your face.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">The devil in is the details. Be on the look-out for shades with interesting detail features. These could anything from multiple folding slots making the shades a quarter of their size when packed up to additional side panels for blocking out access light. Try and source sunglasses that have details that add to the frames, their practicality and your personal style. If a detail feels forced to you, it probably is and you’re more likely not to care much for them to wear them often enough – so don’t buy them. Also look into fashion details versus pragmatic details. It is sometimes better to but that which will work long-term for you than what temporarily plays out as a “cool element”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">Many people are under the impression that freckles are bad for you. Like any skin related ‘mutation’, anything could be good or bad for you depending on what it is and how it forms. Freckles, on the other hand, are generally cited as safe. As merely skin cells that have produced melanin in an ocean of skin cells lacking pigmentation. In order words, several dark spots forming on light complexion skin. Taking care of freckled skin is as simple as taking care of normal skin, however, using products that have added protection against UV rays helps.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">Using a face scrub on the regular assists your skin to cleanse and protect freckled skin. The removal of dead skin cells helps the alive cells to generate healthier and safeguard against the loss of the skin’s elasticity. Scrubbing also assists with the removal of dead hair roots in skin pores, opening them up to receive their required dosage of oxygen – naturally – which, assists with collagen production and detoxifies the skin. Best case advice: Try to scrub at least twice a week for effective and visible results.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">No, we’re not referencing the exercise version of the word, although that too is healthy for your skin, we’re talking toners. A chemical and natural extracts balanced product that works as a cleanser and moisturiser, in most cases, for your skin. Toners are a great way to assist the skin in restoring its pH balance. Adding a layer of protection, it also assists with the prevention of ingrown hairs – for those of you who shave. Used regularly enough, a toner can assist in ensuring skin becomes supple and radiant over time with very little effort from moisturisers. Our recommendation: Use a toner at least once a week.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">Moisturising your face and body is a good thing to do. Daily. Great moisturisers combine a healthy dose of natural ingredients with a scientifically formulated aspect for chemically balancing aspects such as hydration, UV protection, and pH balancing. Moisturisers with SP factors 35 and higher should be on top of your list. These carry additional weight towards protecting your skin from harmful sun rays, flaking, and dullness. Learn to moisturise correctly, as well, as this will ensure the lotion is absorbed correctly for better results. Consensus suggests moisturising in upward circular motions. We suggest: Moisturising twice a day with a non-greasy, fast-absorbing moisturiser with a high SP factor.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: large;">Plenty of inspiration is drawn from the African continent. A lot of it resonates with either the land’s vibrant sunrises or seductive sunsets. This post’s menswear style look is inspired by one of those African sunsets as potentially experienced against a desert terrain such as the Sahara. Its base, a neutral layer of beige to golden brown, is highlighted with hints of burnt orange, blood red and dancing dandelion yellow. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: large;">Base your look on the brown family. Pick a neutral base that matches your skin and does not overpower and overshadow it. As you start to decide on the rest of the colour landscape, start considering which complementary colours you’re looking for and then investigate their hues and tones. These will help you find matching items whether in solid colours or prints that complement your look. Sometimes, it’s best to play it standard and do a neutral lower body with a multi-coloured upper layer. If you’re confident in your choices, do the reverse.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: large;">Africa’s tapestry is a myriad of tactile experiences. From soft and gentle textures to rough and sturdy textiles. The fabrications themselves tell their own story of make and maker. Africa’s climate is mostly humid with regions living through rain for most of the year. Some parts of the land experience a fair amount of all four seasonal changes. When selecting fabrications, look for character and craftsmanship. Seek out the textiles that speak to you personally and elevate your own defined personal style. Mixing gentle with tough, heavy with light, sets a tone for your body’s language and allows you to converse with a multitude of people with an array of languages.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

It’s paired with a delicate lace shirt and finished off with a pair of great men’s espadrilles and a straw hat. To ensure your look definitely doesn’t go unnoticed, get the right scent to match the mood, such as Tom Ford’s Oud Wood.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">The politics in fashion are enough to disrupt any government agency from its standard duties. Having said that, Baroque Obama is a recurring theme that is probably taking a new-found essence in the current flood of men’s fashion trends. An intersection between ornate, decorative expressions of gold and silver, sublime lines of sophistication, meticulous attention to details and structure and an influence of hip-hop culture, Baroque Obama, arrives as a style that pertinently allows young money to attempt an old wealth form of fashion appreciation. Think Beyoncé and Jay Z at The Louvre but now walking the streets on midsummer nights.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Granted, if you toned it down slightly you could get away with doing this as an everyday look, however, the idea here is to be noticed – for the right reasons – so where it during the right times.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">Remember to play with either structure or colour/fabrication. If your suit is a standard cut, try and get it in a very tactile, woven tapestry – something embroidered would be perfect. If it has enough structure and cut-design, work with a simple 100% cotton or 100% wool in a classic yet updated colour. Don’t be shy with the accessories – the louder – the more accessible your look becomes to the public. Try on a variety of options and figure out which colours and cuts work best with your complexion and body shape.<span style="font-size: 9pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">In an ocean of season and trans-seasonal trends, keeping your style simple and elegant with a nifty dose of casual is key if you plan on transiting between work and play. Think highlighting what you already have with smart colours – colours fresh for a season that will continue to drive your wardrobe in an alternative period of the year. Our ‘Muted Highlights’ ensemble is just such an example of a look that can multiply itself into other looks by simply breaking the pieces apart and wearing them as separates with other staples or fashion pieces in your existing wardrobe.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">Key in this specific look are the faded peach shirt and the black and white sneakers with the beige highlight. Why? Because these two pieces together create a fresh, updated look when worn against neutral colours such as white, black and grey. In a similar fashion, they can be worn independently, with monochromatic family members. Thus, creating entirely new looks from two items combined with other wardrobe staples of a similar colour group.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

You’ll be surprised to find the vast array of options you have with one specific colour and the variety of composites you can develop from just mixing and matching. Try to always play around with your options during the morning or day, using the natural light to capture an image of yourself for review. Generally, photographic yourself under fluorescent lighting doesn’t result in the best colour interpretation of your look. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Fashion is meant to be enjoyed and your style, evidence of the fun you’re having. Also, consider swapping colours. So, if you look at the example we have for you, consider wearing pink suedes on your feet with a grey pair of trouser or jeans, vest in a different tone/shade of grey and the beige on top as a shirt.<span style="font-size: 9pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: large;">In a world consumed with top layer interactions, false promises of hope and a distinctive stench of broken hearts comes a moment in time to rekindle true love; an essence of innocence and vulnerability in the transparent existence of true affection. Emporio Armani, a diffusion brand created in 1981 as an urban, energetic, positive brand, enamored with youth and freedom, by the designer, Giorgio Armani, has launched the new fragrance line ‘Stronger Together’.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: large;">From the genesis from Emporio Armani fragrances in 1998, comes the men’s fragrance “Stronger with You” for Him. A delicate dance between feminine and masculine that encapsulates a tale of unconditional love drenched in an energy of modernity. The fragrance elicits confident elegance, uninhibited translucency, and surety of one’s own originality. Top notes include spicy accord, a mixture of cardamom and pink peppercorn, garnished with violet leaves. Its youth is dramatically played out by the sage in its heart and all of this is grounded by the sheer sensuality of the smoky Vanilla Jungle essence.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: large;">No man can be blamed, nor judged, for falling in love with this new fragrance. Its magnetism resonates with sugar-coated chestnut accords, reserved cheeky experiences that drip of intimacy inclusions and a barrel of perfectly crafted whiskey or cognac. Generously masculine, this fragrance communicates love, challenges conformity and seduces the romantic at heart. There is yet to be a fragrance from Emporio Armani as enchanting as Stronger with You for Him for men.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: large;">Nwa-Mulamula is the trans-seasonal lookbook offering from Johannesburg-based fashion designer, Rich Mnisi. From the lookbook itself, the four men’s looks present a collection of varying textures and fabrications in a solid dark to monochrome palette with a spot colour of lemon-zest-yellow. It’s regal in its integrity and for a change of heart, offers a much more masculine approach to menswear than his previous collections have. Perhaps more accurately, less drama and femininity…<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

The cuts are close-to-body yet offer a good deal of form-fitting freedom. Much more colour inclusions would have been appreciated, it’s always a beauty to adding colour to colder, somewhat darker seasons.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

The fur trim jacket will get dated in a couple of years but it’s a quiet statement piece for the next two transitional season cycles. The pin-stripe pajama styled suit is gold in terms of wardrobe staples and the zebra coat is a loud proclamation to make when going out, however, it’s definitely going to be one of the moments hosting plenty of longevity.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: ArialMT;"><span style="font-size: large;">On 29th September 1968, the Ford GT 40, sporting the orange and blue
livery of Gulf Oil, achieved its first victory in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Fifty years later, TAG Heuer, a partner of Gulf, revisited the famous race to
celebrate this auspicious anniversary by launching the TAG Heuer Formula 1 Gulf
Special Edition, as well as a 50-piece limited, engraved edition of the Monaco
Gulf.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: large;">Fashion has a life-cycle of
approximately 6 months. This is not always the case with every collection,
especially with designers producing transitional resort collections in-between
the ready-to-wear and couture offerings. This has created an opportunity for
you, the consumer, to adapt in an aptle manner, allowing you to stretch your
budget and style, across a twelve month period without feeling the out-of-style
pinch. In this post, I present to you three transitional macro-turned-micro
trend looks/items that landed during spring-summer 2017 and are likely to stay
relevant going into spring-summer 2019.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: large;">First up, we have the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Boiler
suit</i></b>. Generally called a jumpsuit for fashion purposes, this item is
usually loosely designed and tailored to create a comfy form with a general
one-cut-suits-all fit. In its essence, it’s a great wardrobe essential as you
can wear it to work and on the weekend, based on how you accessories, maximise
and complement it. In the version presented, South African Fashion Designer, Lukhanyo
Mdingi, adds a Japanese-inspired, Kimono-like twist to the boiler suit,
allowing it the freedom to stay casual chic while taking on a high-end designer
aesthetic. With shortened sleeves and cropped tapered legs, it does suggest
warmer weather indulgences, however, you could slip a dinner shirt underneath
with a pair of graphic sock and platform brogues for a more evening-chic look
on chilly days or nights. The idea suggested, is to find a boiler suit in a
neutral cross-over colour, in a hassle-free fabric that has a modern cut with a
finished aesthetic, in order to stay trendy while maintaining modern tastes.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

staple for any man anywhere in the world, is our second offering of what you
should get for your wardrobe to ensure your essentials are in check.
Single-breasted is the formal and standard option, the most of classic of them
both, while double-breasted is considered a much more fashion-focused option.
Also, double-breasted requires a specific physique due to its cut and sometimes
certain bulk body types don’t look appropriate in a double-breasted blazer.
Photographed here, Uthman wears a single-breasted two-piece suit in grey by
David Jones from Woolworths. The key details to look out for are the
centre-darts on each side of the blazer; these indicate that the blazer has
been shaped to cinch closer to the body from your upper waist, just below your
chest. Your lapels should be slim and slightly elongated to give your upper
body additional length and the sleeves should be cropped low enough only to
reveal about 1-2cms of your shirt. Your trousers should four pockets: two on
the sides and two at the back; and your trouser length should be cropped just
enough for your socks to peak through in between your hemline and your shoes.
Start off by buying this suit in a classic colour: navy, black, grey, charcoal
or royal blue. Once comfortable, start exploring bolder colours and prints in
the same cut. Remember to maximise on this look by pairing it with crew-neck
jumpers or golf shirts or even a plain white or black tee for a more
smart-casual look.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Sports Luxe Jacket</i></b> is our final offering for this wardrobe essentials
segment. The athleisure or sports luxe trend has been gaining momentum more and
more ever since the world realised wearing yoga pants in public was a thing.
Now, brands the globe over are increasing fusing high-fashion design principles
with practical, technical sportswear techniques. One of the best pieces to come
of out this has been the sports jacket. With its versatility in any territory
unparalleled, it continues to prove its pivotal role as a wardrobe staple for
any season. In this picture, Uthman wears a silver-coral sports luxe jacket
from DIESEL. Its cut is based on a standard baseball jacket, its finish on
technical specifications for longevity and practicality and its style on the
growing trend for fusing fashion with graphic elements as a post-modern take on
bridging the dive between millennials and Gen Xs. The great thing about a
sports jacket is you can wear it on its own or pair with a formal look to give
it a bit of street cred. Also, if combined correctly, your sports jacket could
form part of a formal ensemble for chic evening gatherings. Or you could just
pair it with sneakers and jeans and go bowling with the boys.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: large;">Remember: Fashionable doesn’t
always mean seasonal and neither does trendy. Be a little over critical and ask
yourself, ‘as trendy as it looks, will I be able to wear this three years down
the line without second-guessing myself?’ If you struggle to come to an answer
or you agree you won’t wear it in three years’ time – don’t buy it. It’s always
great to have fashion pieces that you use as talking points but no one wants to
have a clogged up wardrobe with items you never wear because they are past
their wear-by date. If you’re keen but unsure, ask a friend or get it in a neutral
colour to avoid complicating your wardrobe. It’s easier to dress up something
plain, modern and classic than it is to dress down couture.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

cousins. These are all people that form such a crucial part of our family
structures and people we love. It is a privilege to be asked to add my
