he prefers garment that fits and looks smart on him. Just like him, wear
something you can comfortably move around in.
Eclectic
is it
His style is eclectic. He says, “I'm not a lover of convention.”
Comfy
all the way
You need to feel comfortable in what to wear.
However, this should not be confused with sloppy and unkempt look. He
says, “I don what gives me some comfy.”
CK
rocks

masculine edge over others.
Coordinate
your red carpet look
When it involves coordinating his red carpet looks, the actor works with
his image consultant, Debbie Ibinola of Demeanor to put together what suits his
personality. Another important thing he works with is, the theme of the event.

my teeth, my ipad and my wristwatch.”
Shop
eclectically

and I buy. I can buy anything I like from anywhere,” he says.
Go
with Kors

Sobriety works wonders
When the look is forced, when we stress on it too much, it
looks like a fancy dress. Keep it simple to avoid any fashion nightmare.
Go beyond
You have to look above the trends in order to better
understand the right elements to adopt. Men’s fashion should be a place of
personal freedom.
GONE are
the days when style is said to be a synonym for carnality. In recent times, few
pastors have proven that they are not just stylish, but trendsetters too. Some
of the Clerics are even listed among the best-dressed men in the country. One
of such is the accountant and editor-in-chief of Timeless Newspaper, Pastor Ituah Ighodalo.
Anointing,
class, style, poise, sophistication and fashion, Pastor Ighodalo has got it
all. He is arguably one of the most stylish men that know what suits him and
how to carry it with confidence.
Just like Pastor Ighodalo, know that the most important thing about clothing is
comfort and style and in order to achieve both, you must wear clothes that fit
properly and feel good.
Knowing what to wear and how to wear it, can be of great benefit to men, and
with a little bit of knowledge, can also be very easy.
Here are some tips on how to achieve the Ighodalo simple and classy looks.
Be
natural
Try to look good, naturally. Make an effort to look good when you go out. It’s
more about your attitude rather than a set of codes. It lies in the details and
what you are wearing.
Know
what suits you
Get to know yourself, your body type, what suits you. Following and liking
fashion do not necessarily mean changing your wardrobe every season. You need
to know what works best for you. Everything is not for everyone.
Don’t
get trapped
Never trap yourself in one particular look. You should dress according to the occasion.
Making your own signature style is better rather than looking like a clone
everyday. You should experiment and feel comfortable in carrying out different
looks for different occasions.
Rock
it simple
A
simple look can also work wonders for you. It works wonders if you are wearing
the right pair of jeans with a right kind of shirt or the right suits and
accessories. Pastor Ighodalo says, “my style is simple, flowing and easy
going.”
Pay
attention to details
Looking good isn't a complicated science. There are some basic rules all men
should always bear in mind, like keeping things simple, taking good care of
your clothes and buying clothes that fit. But to appear even more effortlessly
stylish, paying attention to little details can make a big difference in your
appearance.
Feel
good, look good
There has to be a perfect blend between inner and outer elegance. To look good,
you should be able to feel good.
Watch
Out your Wrist
The most common wrist accessory for a man is a gold or silver-coloured watch,
which can be an excellent accent piece to any outfit. As long as it is clean
and functional, watches are hard to go wrong with. Another option for the
wrist, which has been growing in popularity, is the leather armband.
Jack
(et) it up
Many men are indifferent to the weather and may only have one jacket for every
season. Adding several stylish jackets to a collection can help a man expand
his fashion options.
Emmett
it up
One of the best ready-to-wear English shirt makers is Emmett. They pride
themselves on the quality of their tailoring and their colourful extravagant
style. Their shirts are finely finished with a slightly Italianate
style, collars,
cuffs and seams are just that little bit crisper than many other brands.
They also have some quirky stylistic touches. With all these qualities, you
sure need to have one of Pastor Ituah’s favourite designers in your wardrobe.
Emmett is the only designer that gets Pastor Ighodalo’s cut perfectly. For shirts
and ties, he undoubtedly rocks this brand.
Hermes
all the way
For
belt and scents, he goes for Hermes. He loves the cologne, Terre Hermes. Hermes
is recognised for their sturdiness and high quality. Their belts discount is worn with distinction by quite a few fashion
icons all through the long time. Replica Hermes belts make it possible for any
fashion conscious person to be decorated like his heroes and turns heads. It is
truly is often double-sided. Hermes belts are also high-priced but worth
buying.
The
love of Gray suit
A great suit is like armor: when you wear it, you’re unstoppable! There is
something in the fact that you’re wearing an expensive piece of clothing that
skyrockets your belief in yourself. When it comes to suits, Pastor Ighodalo
doesn’t go for the known names, he prefers ‘cut to measure.’ He says, “some
tailor make my suits.” Speaking on his favourite piece of clothing, he says, “it
is my Gray suit. It is easy for me to take it along with me.”

shops are Brooks brothers, Ermenegildo Zegna, Ties Charvet and Canali.
Sky is
blue, snow is white
