Suit-Up

Attending a wedding this summer but don't know how to suit-up? Well make sure if you are wearing a suit or a tux it fits properly, that the colour complements the shoes and shirt, and that you don't over accessorize. Be careful of dark colour to avoid discomfort, wear something different, be out-standing. A well chosen suit/tux flatter the body, the main thing you should really be wondering when what to wear at a wedding, is whether you should opt for a tux or a suit. Both are acceptable, but each one gives off a slightly different vibe and finish. Our colour selection is grey. Grey works for formal occasions, and you easily pair one with a classic white shirt and for a bit of brightness, some brown leather brogues or customize your look with white plain sneakers and no tie.

Fashion (Boots)

The brogue was once considered an outdoor or country shoe and not acceptable for formal occasions. The brogue style has been refined without losing any of its sturdiness and although the classic brogue is designed in brown leather, there are now multiple colours, styles and material available. The versatility of the shoe means that it can be worn with various different outfits including everything from slim jeans, chambray shirts, chinos to two-piece pin-stripe suit.

Cars

Wheels for the week- 2017 Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG Edition 1.


A 45 AMG arrived in 2013 and became one of the most desirable hatchbacks in the market, an all wheel drive that does 265kw and 450 Nm of torque. 3 years later Mercedes-Benz gave it a facelift and also modified the engine, with the new body kit that looks sexy as ever. AMG fettled with the A45's 2-litre motor and got a few more horses from it. Still just 1991cc (2-litre), the revised ( and still hand made) engine now produces an extra 15kw of power and 25Nm of torque, meaning outputs of 280kw and 475Nm. The super hatchback's zero to 100 kph acceleration time has improved to 4,2 seconds. With a claimed fuel consumption figure of 7,3 L/100 km, one would expect the A45 to be quite economical.

Street Fashion

Bonga Magaqa Staypler gives us a little taste of his summer collection, keeping bright colours to control the heat and stay cool yet looking classy and alluring. Gents should stay away from dark colours this summer, your black, navy or brown colours absorb too much heat that will make you uncomfortable and will make you want to leave the event early. Try staying away from scarves unless its lightweight scarves cause they make perfect fashion sense but beanies are a no-go area, rather go for straw hats.
