Hey my name is Olav Arthur and I am a denim and print addict. If there were AA meetings where one could get help for loving denim and prints, I think I would have subscribed to it a long time ago. Well don't get me wrong, sleek sharp suits are also my cup of tea but denim and printed shirts are my drug when it comes to those casual stylish days. One can easily transition denim pants to look very sleek for any event (but not a black tie event).
In this post I am wearing blue denim trousers from Levi's which I matched with maroon Converse sneakers , printed short sleeve shirt and black sunglasses. What are your casual trails style made up of?

The sun is always amazing but sooner or later I start missing the cold weather where by I get to wear my jackets and trench's. Don't get me wrong a little rain isn't bad since it clears up the pathways from dust and you get cool air but so much rain on the other hand scares the s**t out of me. Who wouldn't want to snuggle up at home during the cold season and watch Empire or Scandal... I know I would love that.
Due to the mix weather we are having (one time its raining plus cold and the other moment is sunny) I try to wear semi warm clothes that can easily be transitioned when the weather gets warm. No one would like to get caught in a warm trench coat when the weather suddenly turns warm and sunny. Thankfully, I hit the jackpot on a cozy quilted deep navy blue boomer jacket from Mr Price which I matched with my solid staples pieces which are blue denim skinny trousers from Levi's , maroon Converse shoes and a polka dot shirt to finish of the look.
I personally love how the jacket transforms the outfit to a modern stylish look. Having solid staple pieces in one's closet is very important as one can be able to look dapper without much effort.

Every time I say that "Its going to be sunny today" I am sadly corrected by nature. Its like a constant joke as one time its sunny then the next few days are followed by chilliness and frigid weather. I opt for a little layering on those days where the weather is all gloomy and cold. Yesterday I braved the weather to shoot this look for you and to my surprise am happy the pictures came out well  as the light was playing tricks on us. I don't own a lot of scarves in my closet meaning I had fun styling this white linen scarf with some of my favorite pieces.
I paired the white linen scarf which I got a while back from JOOP! with a light grey long sleeved shirt from Imperial Landhaus, dark grey slim fit trousers from Marks and Spencer , Chuck Taylor classic sneakers from Converse and rings from local artisan here in the city. Their is nothing spectacular about the styling of this look but it’s very “me” – clean, classic, and casual.
Have you tried this look before?

I'm a sucker for shades of green this past few months. I discovered my love for green a few months back when the sales person told me why don't I try the green shirt on, and to my surprise I ended up loving it from there onwards. I have learnt to mix that obsession with other colours so as to get the best out of each.
With the change of weather that we are experiencing in the city right now I decided to wear an asparagus green coloured trench coat which I matched with an oxford stripe short sleeve shirt from Ben Sherman , blue slim fit denim trousers, white handcuff from Ndau collection and black Converse shoes.
Are you in love with the green colour? Which colours are your favorite ?

I know we are in February just in the beginning period of the year and experiencing hot weather like never before but sooner or later May will hit us and the cold weather will creep in like darkness does. This is to mean that we shouldn't forget to keep stock of our warm wear pieces and what better way to do that than to invest in a nice woolen overcoat.
The overcoat is a long-sleeved coat that can be either single- or double-breasted, and usually has a single vent at the back. If we’re being strict with semantics, the overcoat always extends below the knee, but you’ll find that modern day styles rarely do, given the impracticality of long outerwear. Am sure if you Google street-style for the current fashion weeks that just concluded you will notice that majority of men are embracing the overcoat culture and what better time for you to also embrace it. I was lucky enough to get a black woolen overcoat in my thrift journeys and it was a good investment. I always buy my coats in black colour first because they are easy to style with anything before I get any other colour. I matched my black overcoat with a coral pink shirt from Ezze wear, white slim fit chino pants, Converse shoes and framed wayfarers.
Just remember this look is versatile and an easy way to take any look up a notch, the overcoat is a fundamental part of any well turned-out man’s wardrobe.
P.S I am participating in the Hello Food  an online food delivery service in Nairobi blogger contest which is in partnership with my good friends blog The Kenyan Fashionado by Lucia Musau. Take a look and get involved with them :)

This being my first post this year on the outfits section, I wanted to feature the most known trend which is denim on denim. I know their is a rule on how to match denims together so as not to look as if you are trying too hard but I always do what I think is right for me sometimes. One thing that I know is that for this look to come out beautifuly you must match the two denims differently. Go for either white denim with blue or black denim or one lightly coloured denim with one deeply coloured denim.
I went for the second choice which is one lightly coloured denim with one deeply coloured denim( I hope the pictures show the difference...lol ). The top buttoned denim shirt has palm tree prints all over it making it quite unique and different. I matched the top buttoned denim shirt with light blue slim fit denim trousers from TOPMAN, Converse All Star rubber shoes and black framed wayfarers. Have you tried this look before? I think its quite an interesting look to go for if your a person who loves denim :).
