I COULD hear the song
playing while I was in the shower and just thought the chorus was rather
catchy.
I didn’t care much for
the instrumentation but the song’s lyrics kept ringing in my head for the next
few days.
It was on Wednesday morning
as I was taking a shower that I heard the song again – it was playing on DStv
Channel 325.
This time I just had to
see the video and quench my curiosity for once and for all.
I had carried around the
lyrics to “I’m a classic man” by Jidenna featuring Roman GianArthur for too
long and was pleased to finally see what this classic man was all about.
The song goes a little
like this, “Even if she goes away…I’m a classic man…You can be mean when you
look this clean…Your needs get met by the street, elegant old fashioned man…I’m
a classic man.”
It was the suits, ties,
pocket squares, watches, shoes, cravats and the clean looking men in the video
that blew me away. Forget the choreography; the wardrobe on the set was simply
on point!
This is the kind of guy
you need to be – a classic man who’s on top of the situation, whatever the
circumstances.
All you need are a few
classic pieces which will ensure your look is fresh and polished.
A blazer is a definite
must have. The cut will be determined by your body shape and height.
You want to have your
first blazer in a neutral colour and then go adventurous as your collection
grows.

But if you’re
charismatic – go for the bold colours and a single vent from the onset.
To pull off the blazer
look well and be a classic man in every sense of the word, invest in a crisp
white shirt.
Every classy woman
loves a man in a clean white shirt!
Your blazer will add
the pizazz to an otherwise boring look.
And guess what; you
won’t need to wear a tie on a crisp white shirt and classic blazer.
All you’ll need is a
good pair of chinos, the perfect belt and shoes and you’re good to go.
There’s a whole blazer
revolution – you’ll find them in all sorts of colours, prints and cuts you’ll
be shocked.
If you doubt your
fashion sense, pair your blazer with a white shirt on any day and you’ll never
go wrong.
The blazer look can be
taken to different occasions – day or night. The secret is in your accessories.
For a polished evening
look, wear your blazer with a pocket square and those who know will appreciate
your sense of style. Take it a notch higher and wear a bow tie or a cravat in a
bold colour.
The secret is making
sure your blazer, shirt and pants hug your body perfectly.
I know he’s a classic
man when he wears a blazer that fits him well, he’s in a white shirt, his chinos
are equally flattering and his belt and shoes match.
If you’re going to wear
a brown belt, wear brown shoes and if it’s going to be black, let it be black
waist and feet.
I know he’s a classic
man because he feels naked when he doesn’t wear a watch.
You’ve no idea what
accessories can do for you. Men generally don’t have too much to accessorise
with so the secret is getting maximum style from the few pieces you have.
You’ve killed the
blazer look in your white shirt and chinos, belt and matching shoes check and
your watch is ticking from your wrist – your fragrance is the cherry on top.
I say “zvenge zvaku maker sense” when a man’s
fragrance announces his presence.
Many people don’t get
this but investing in a good fragrance speaks volumes of your sense of style.
No woman wants to sit
next to a man who stinks.
Perhaps let me speak
for myself, I love to get some “aroma therapy” from the man in my presence.
Ever met men whose
fragrances linger after they’ve left?
It’s not harsh neither
does it harass your nostrils – the scent is nothing but therapeutic. That’s a
classic man.
I know he’s a classic
man when he cares about how clean he looks and how fresh he smells.
