The simpler the better

There is this amazing quote by style icon Cary Grant that goes like this, “All it takes are a few simple outfits and there is one secret the simpler the better”. This quote right here says it all about your personal style that in whatever you decide to strip on keep it simple.

Have less details in your formal wear

If you like formal wear just like me and you want to look sharp in formal style yet you want to keep things simple. I suggest wearing a fitted suit or a dress shirt with a formal suit trouser without the suit blazer since we are fast approaching spring season here in Swaziland so a formal style like this one above is simple yet stylish because of the fit hence fit is king. Details such as sunglasses are just fine, having too much details such as bringing in a cane or an additional lapel pin yet there is a pocket square makes the style too flashy.

Have less details in your casual style

If you opt for a casual wear ensemble just like this gentleman below pulling off a simple smart casual style. I suggest for hot weather conditions you wear a hat and for the outfit wear at least one bright color such as all white , it is simple, fresh and clean style which makes keeping things simple evident. Even the shoes match with the hat thus having at least 2 colors in your style that match each other is another way to keep the style low key.

    You clearly enjoy and have a taste for men’s fashion Mthobisi. I tried to dress well for a few years in my 20s, but these days I’m all about simple, cheap, and comfortable. πŸ˜‹

    Cool and amazing. Mostly I’m in my scrubs at work and active wear when outdoors, but I hope to be more stylish and wear nice wardrobe one day. Thanks.
