I first saw this outfit recently on Denola Grey of
denolagrey.com on a TV show EL Now
. The first ten seconds of seeing this
on him I couldn't decide if I liked it or not. Thought it to be an
experiment and maybe the belted jacket session will end with him on that show. Fast forward to several weeks later during the
Heineken Lagos Fashion and Design Week I spot more guys rocking the belted jacket.
Well it's not a new creative idea but it's one I am critical
of. Though it looked good on Denola Grey during the GTB Fashion Weekend,
I personally think its meaningless for a
man to put a belt on his
jacket/blazer ''on his waist''. For a woman,
it accentuates her cures but to a man it's just there.
Most awfully it will looks like a military officer getting ready to jump off a plane in a parachute to help end the war in Syria.That's if styled wrongly.
I do agree that the men's fashion scene in Nigeria is
evolving and the belted jacket might just be part of the evolution. But, I wouldn't be incorporating this trend at least
not now maybe when I get to Denola's level of ''fashionability.''
