THE STREETS ARE MY RUNWAY: FEATURING KEABOKA MOAMOGWE

In a city where the majority of men don't consider being fashionable as something important, it's rare to find fashion loving guys with fresh, head-turning style and swagger. Don't be fooled; this isn't the overused swagger definition that's given to ill-deserving guys. This is one of the times when fashion, style, culture, and of course a bit of swag/ger really mean something.

Over the past year of knowing Keaboka Moamogwe, I can say without any reservations that he is as real and genuine as they come. With effortless style and swagger, he definitely uses the streets as his runway to express himself and tell the world his story! Take a peep at his lookbook below....

Day 1


Inspired by the sailor look on a summer day, Keaboka stays cool with the use of suspenders to create an element of maturity.

What he wore:
Sailor hat - Street vendor
Striped t-shirt - Mr. Price
Jeans - D.I-Y
Anchor neckpiece - Mr. Price



Day 2


We all know that the perfect in-between winter and summer clothing article is a cardigan and when mixed with formal pieces results in a smart, well put together look. Keaboka's travel bag adds a little bit of youthfulness to wrap up his look.

What he wore:
Cardigan - Markham
Checkered shorts - Markham
Boat shoes - Markham
Travel bag - From his dad
Vintage belt- From his mum


Day 3


Mid-week is always the most boring and so simple is the way forward. Keaboka amplifies his casual look with a graphic print tee and accessories. Laid back, cool and without a care is what this look is all about.

What he wore:
Mona-Lisa t-shirt - Jay Jays
Grey primsoles - Mr. Price
Shorts - Jet
Accessories - Some bought, stolen, and exchanged



Day 4


Preppy meets urban youth. We know temperatures rise during the day and a way to work around a smart-casual look it to wear shorts instead of the banal long pants. Not only does this keep you cool, but also shows a fun side to smart-casual pieces.

What he wore:
Blue shirt - Mr. Price
Suspenders - Markham
Black pants - Jet
Wayfarers - Street vendors


Day 5


What he calls his 'money' pants, Keaboka dresses up a bit knowing that it's Friday and night time will definitely be buzzing. The Do-It-Yourself tie is the highlight of the look, as every fashion lover should be able to create their own pieces from time to time.

What he wore:
'Money' pants - Mr. Price
Black shirt - Woolworthds
Cardigan - Markham
Adidas shoes - Studio 88
Polka dot tie - D.I.Y



Thank you for taking a look.

An interview with Keaboka will follow soon.
