Born in Nigeria, educated internationally fashion blogger Igee Okafor has overtime grown to be quite an authority in the men’s fashion and grooming industry. The New Yorker’s distinct approach to style is probably the one thing that keeps him apart from the rest of the bloggers and influencers, it’s simplicity and down-to-earth nature which seems to mirror Igee’s own personality is quite appealing and intriguing. With several years in the business there are few people better than Igee to take notes on menswear from so here are five things you can learn from Igee Okafor by merely observing his style!

 

1. Simplicity Is Key


Less is more and better! Igee’s ability to look extremely good in very simple ensembles proves this and proves this is exactly the way to go!

2. Tee Shirts Works With Everything

"use strict"; var adace_load_672992dfd967b = function(){ var viewport = $(window).width(); var tabletStart = 601; var landscapeStart = 801; var tabletEnd = 961; var content = '%3Cdiv%20class%3D%22adace_adsense_672992dfd95ae%22%3E%3Cscript%20async%20src%3D%22%2F%2Fpagead2.googlesyndication.com%2Fpagead%2Fjs%2Fadsbygoogle.js%22%3E%3C%2Fscript%3E%0A%09%09%3Cins%20class%3D%22adsbygoogle%22%0A%09%09style%3D%22display%3Ablock%3B%22%0A%09%09data-ad-client%3D%22ca-pub-2233808518455682%22%0A%09%09data-ad-slot%3D%221717524128%22%0A%09%09data-ad-format%3D%22auto%22%0A%09%09%3E%3C%2Fins%3E%0A%09%09%3Cscript%3E%28adsbygoogle%20%3D%20window.adsbygoogle%20%7C%7C%20%5B%5D%29.push%28%7B%7D%29%3B%3C%2Fscript%3E%3C%2Fdiv%3E'; var unpack = true; if(viewport=tabletStart && viewport=landscapeStart && viewport=tabletStart && viewport=tabletEnd){ if ($wrapper.hasClass('.adace-hide-on-desktop')){ $wrapper.remove(); } } if(unpack) { $self.replaceWith(decodeURIComponent(content)); } } if($wrapper.css('visibility') === 'visible' ) { adace_load_672992dfd967b(); } else { //fire when visible. var refreshIntervalId = setInterval(function(){ if($wrapper.css('visibility') === 'visible' ) { adace_load_672992dfd967b(); clearInterval(refreshIntervalId); } }, 999); }

})(jQuery);

A tee-shirt is always a great idea especially because you can dress it up or dress it down depending on your mood and the occasion, here we see Igee looking stylish as ever and a tad formal in this simple tee.

3. Don’t Forget Your Turtleneck

Turtlenecks are wardrobe essentials that you shouldn’t shy away from because they can absolutely turn your outfit around.

4. You Need A Suit!

Every gentleman needs a well tailored suit! It is probably in the fashion constitution. A suit, when worn right is a very simple and fast way to look stylish and exude masculinity and few people do it as well as Igee!

5. Outerwear Is A Style Hack You Shouldn’t Ignore

A trench coat just might be overdoing it especially if you live in the tropics like Nigeria but outerwear like jackets and sweaters are definitely easy ways to look and dress stylish!
