When did you become a Muslim...

This year, I've altered my wardrobe by adding bow ties to my neck wear collection. I'm mostly known by how I wear my neckties (full Windsor knot). So when people started seeing me wearing bow ties, I was often proposed with the question "When did you become a Muslim?". Which became pretty funny... Anybody that knows me well knows that I'm a Jesus Freak! Nonetheless, being from the Chicago area majority of the men that wear bow ties are affiliated with the Nation of Islam. So I'm excited to be a part of the distinguished "Chi City" gentlemen that are eliminating the stereotype of black men and bow ties.
Men have being wearing bow ties for years. Most men that wear them are distinguished. More importantly, they are identified as being trendsetters.
So the next time you are attending a function (banquet, dinner or even church)and are looking to standout choose to wear self-tie bow tie. It will definitely set you apart from the rest. Until next time..

Can't wear skinny jeans cause...

Jay-z (rap mogul and husband to Beyonce) said in the song Swagga Like Us "Can't wear skinny jeans cause my knots don't fit".... Some of us need not to wear skinny jeans because our thighs, butts and stomachs are too big. Skinny jeans are not meant to be worn by everybody! This notice is especially for the MEN! If you are over 200 pounds you should fall back from the skinny jeans faze. Let the teenagers and young people live out their swagga through that expression. By the way, some women should stay away from the skinny jeans craze as well. However, I will leave that commentary to my sister Tami at www.ExclusivelyStyled.com to handle that. As I mentioned in a previous blog, know your style and more importantly your lane. Don't try to wear everything you see in GQ, Vibe, The Source, Details, Complex and etc. Keep it original and more importantly keep it YOU! That means do what feels and looks good on you. Until next time...
