NIPPA

Tottenham's Nippa – who's worked with Craig David and superstar producer Boi-1da – flexed a tonal masterpiece for the event. A touch of gorpcore, a flash of formality – if we didn’t know a faux-fur jacket goes so well with a shirt and tie before, we do now.

MUNYA CHAWAWA

Talking of comedians, when Munya Chawawa isn’t nailing spoof impressions, he’s nailing two-tone tailoring. This look is giving us all the bright ideas for any formal plans we have coming up and it looks like loafers are here to stay as well.

ANTSLIVE

North-London based rapper AntsLive is taking coordination to the next level in this Balmain two-piece. For anyone thinking that the logomania wave has officially ebbed, maybe it’s time to reconsider. Could this be the return of a monogrammed moment? 👀
