My approach to style is simple. The goal is to stand out, not blend in. Style should be an extension of who you are and part of the image that you want to portray out into the world.
By definition, the word “style” means the manner of doing something. So regardless of your age, where you live or what you do for a living, your style defines who you are. Your unique sense of style is a part of your personality and your appearance is the outer interpretation of your self expression.
When styling the men for this edition of Karjaka magazine, I thought about each of them as individuals. Each one of them is a successful creative, artist, and innovator in their own right and their style should reflect that. Regardless if I’m styling a 40 year old or a 90 year old, I’m only ever thinking about one thing– how their style is going to represent who they are in the world.
Your style is like a book cover, you’re giving the reader a snapshot of what’s inside. So it’s important to know what they stand for, what they are known for, and what impression they want to leave people with. Then I help them craft a style that communicates exactly that.
And after working for over 20 years as a NYC based designer and stylist for some of the top fashion brands like Calvin Klein and Nautica and dressing celebs like Drake and Ne-Yo, it’s fair to say, I know a thing or two about dressing men. The key to men standing out is all in the details. It’s the cut of your jacket, that bolder color choice, or the unique accessory that adds a bit of personality and finishes off your look.
You might feel a bit intimidated by the idea of this and think you have to become this uber stylish guy or dress like someone you are not. I hear this from a lot of men, by the way. The truth is, style is not about being the most fashionable man in the room nor is it about changing who you are. It’s about bringing out your most confident, authentic self and learning how to dress better so you can look sharp & feel sharp
