I came to inspire …
When H&M contacted me for a collab I was as excited. As joyful as I was back when they emailed me to be a Balmain x H&M ambassador in Belgium. The first thing I did was going through all the packshots and campaign images. Just to make sure once again if there were pieces I completely felt comfortable with. Because that’s how we men think: comfort above everything. How crazy the outfit might look.
( bomber jacket €399 – boots €179 – jeans €99 )
Of course the very unique and surprising jungle themed collection was totally Jon. The prints reminded me of an african wax my grandfather used to wear. At that moment I was certain I could handle this collection. Whether I would wear it very basic or extravagant. I knew I could give it a personal twist à la Jon. You can too by the way!
Listen carefully …
mix and match! That’s all we really need to do. If you follow these 4 golden style tips you might be crowned the king of the fashion jungle:
- – Be creative
In general men often can’t seem to be creative when it comes to clothes. Pulling up your jacket sleeves to flaunt your shirt to show your layering skills is a clever style hack.
- – Match two similar layers
If you agree with my first tip, than the layering part should be easy. Make sure the shirt, sweater or t-shirt matches the jacket. Based on color combination.
- – Match with some denim
Here’s a trick that often works for me. If you see some blue in your outfit? Denim can almost always be a huge help. Blue and denim are practically always a match
- – Mix it with some black garments
Black is never a villain. Any black garment always works. Imagine if all the black was replaced by red for instance, Kenzo x H&M would look way too extravagant. So mixing with black to take away the attention is another style hack to note on your list.
