OC Ukeje, in Lagos for the long-awaited homecoming of Brazilian-French film Shine Your Eye at the LCA Festival , which also screened at the Berlinale and the Red Sea Film Festival, took his leading-man style to the BN at 20 High Fashion Icon festivities. The Saint-Pierre actor reminded us exactly why he’s been missed on the red carpet, stepping out in a sharply tailored DÈJÌ ENIOLÁ look. Anchored by a longline jacket with black brushed velvet sleeves and a metallic, almost bark-like jacquard front panel. The texture does the talking, catching the light in shades of pewter and charcoal, while the deep V neckline keeps the silhouette elongated. Paired with fluid, wide-leg black trousers and velvet loafers, the overall styling is uber-contemporary. What we love most is the restraint, there’s no unnecessary layering competing with the fabrication. The relaxed trousers are especially chic , giving the overall look a directional feel. Altogether, this is OC at his best, polished but not predictable and we hope we see more of him this year.

One of the beautiful things about fashion is that you get to make your own rules and explore your personal style as creatively as you’d like. So, who says women can’t experiment with menswear silhouettes and make them their own? Yes, we have staple pieces designed with our different body types and proportions in mind, but that doesn’t mean we have to limit ourselves to them. From oversized shirts, blazers and tailored trousers to denim or bomber jackets, there are plenty of ways to play with traditionally masculine clothes while still making the look feel distinctly yours. Whether you prefer polished, boxy or relaxed outfits, styling menswear as a woman is all about finding what works and putting your own spin on it. Here are some tips to help you explore: Play With Proportions Menswear presents the perfect excuse to step outside your usual proportions and experiment with shape. If you want to wear a boxy double-breasted oversized blazer or a relaxed pair of trousers, balance the volume with something more chic and fitted. Pair blazers with a crop top or mini skirt, and style the wide-leg pants with a tee. The idea is to create contrast between looser and […] The post 3 Ways To Style Menswear Silhouettes As A Woman appeared first on BN Style.

The ones who seem to have a distinct visual language, where every print, colour, silhouette and accessory feels intentional without ever looking overly calculated?
