Style and Fitness

November 5, 2015 By in Fashion Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , 12 Comments

Looking fit and bang on trend is so very important to me. If you a regular reader of Fashion and Style Police, you will know I take my sense of style and fitness very seriously, I don’t mess about with them, which is why the quality of my footwear is very important. I like to feel comfortable and chic whenever I am out running, in the gym, or just going for a walk. Comfort and chic go together when it comes to my style, you won’t catch me rocking any uncomfortable piece or accessory. Life is way too short for that.

I fell in love with Sketchers in 2008, I remember that year because that was when I moved to Bristol for my masters, and if you know Bristol well enough, you would know walking in the city is a pain due to the many hills. I lived on one of the famous hills (Blackberry Hill), so getting out and about was  pain. My good old black Sketchers Bikers Hot trainers (below) was my lifesaver.

7 years after, and this fantastic slip on trainers still lives on in my footwear collection, and I still wear it. I now have my eye on two new pairs to add to my collection, and I hope Santa is reading.

Here they are:

Sketchers Womens Bravos Snow Melt Trainer Boots Wheat £57.00 £45.99

I love this rugged pair, it will be great for snow and it looks so trendy as well. I also love the nice discount, cool bargain.

Sketchers Womens Go Walk 2 Spark Slip On Trainers – Taupe £49.00 £42.99

Now this is a very different type of trainers, and that is what I love about it. The relaxed, effortless design is a no brainer really, and it comes in other colours as well, like black, blue turquoise, and hot pink. This is a great pair to rock this autumn/winter season.

Which do you prefer? Drop me a comment let’s chat.

Style Icon: Jidenna

Jidenna-2015-BET-Awards-Style-Picture

The Classic Man aka Jidenna is the Style Icon for the week, and that should come as no surprise because this dude got style. He wows me every time I see him.

I love the fact that Jidenna is so confident in his skin, he dresses the way he wants, regardless of what is in vogue and he always looks amazing. He has this ‘old school’ vibe I love, and that should come as no surprise since most of his pieces are vintage or custom-made, Whippa Wiley, his manager and creative director, co-designs most of his pices.

Jidenna’s style icons are Malcom X, Ozwald Boateng, and Janelle Monáe, and I can see a lot of their sense of style in him.

Here is an excerpt from an interview he had with Esquire earlier in the year:

I think that necessity often times dictates creativity. I used to go thrifting because I couldn’t keep up even with the hip hop fashion. A cap is $30, you can get a pair of jeans for like $100, and then some t-shirts cost like $50-60. I got tired of it so I started thrifting. Through thrifting, I found a lot of suits for very, very cheap and I paid tailors to customize them to fit me.

As that evolved, I started designing bespoke suits, but it all came out of not really being able to afford it as a young man and as a broke artist at the time. That’s the beauty of it though, when you don’t have things you make do with what you do have and create something special out of it.

This dude has his head on his neck as far as music and style is concerned. He is like a breath of fresh air. What do you think of Jidenna as a Style Icon? Drop me a comment, let’s chat.

Thanks for reading.
