People of Africa- Fall issue

People of Africa: What is your personal style mantra, and how do you incorporate it into your daily looks?

Jordan: When you dress well, you feel good. And when you smell good, you gain the confidence to take on the day. It’s the perfect hack combo.

How do you dress for a night out with friends versus a formal gala?

Jordan: The first thing that always comes to mind is to differentiate myself from everyone else. It’s not about outshining others but about leaving a statement of being different and comfortable in what you wear, kind of being a trendsetter for the next gala.

How do you accessorize on different occasions?

Jordan: Every occasion has its own look. But with a pair of sunglasses and a nice timepiece, you’re ready for any event, no matter how overdressed or underdressed you are. These items already tell a story about you. The cherry on top is the footwear.

What are the essential items every African man should have in his wardrobe?

Jordan: A Bible, good cologne, a watch, nice sneakers, at least three pairs of formal shoes, and outfits for every occasion.
