STYLE INSPIRATIONS FOR GENTS
Most Stylish Gentlemen! The Best-Dressed Men Of The Year
KOBI KOACHMAN’s Most Stylish Gentlemen of 2018: From the beginning of the year 2018, there have been exceptional men – extraordinary gentlemen, who have inspired us by their various achievements, lifestyle, success and above all their personal style.
2018 was indeed an interesting year for men’s fashion. A lot of dapper-looking gentlemen upped their Style A-Game for the world to be inspired while maintaining their unique personal style.
I also know 2018 was a roller coaster with so many challenges and expectations to live up to and being a stylish gentleman in this modern age is not easy. But a lot of you gents still understood the importance of style and continuously strived to do well, live well and dress really well – maintaining all the traits of a true gentleman, despite the setbacks.
Friends! I salute you all.🙌🏼🙏🏻
Now the year 2018 is finally over, we thought it would be nice to give you something to start the new year on a stylish note – a list of gentlemen who raised the bar style-wise in 2018!
You might ask – How did we make this Top 10 selection? Here it is:
In line with the style gospels we’ve preached over the years here on MR KOACHMAN we’ve clearly stated that – “A stylish gentleman is one who holds himself with dignity, has high standards of proper behavior and understands the importance of looking his best, however, a stylish man is more concerned about how he looks.”
And as our Almighty Formula for Gentlemen’s Style goes:
STYLISH MAN – GENTLEMAN TRAITS = A STYLISH MAN
STYLISH MAN + GENTLEMAN TRAITS = A CLASSY MAN
A CLASSY MAN = A STYLISH GENTLEMAN = A TRUE GENTLEMAN
Sidenote | Just in case your lifestyle doesn’t completely fit into any of the equations above, then read this to learn how to be a stylish gentleman!
And now, without further ado, gentlemen, here are KOBI KOACHMAN’s Most Stylish Gentlemen of 2018. I hope they inspire you to continue your style journey this year 2019. Happy New Year!!!
KOBI KOACHMAN’s Most Stylish Gentlemen of 2018
#10. Oluwabankole Wellington
Popularly known as Banky W, the singer turned actor is always well put together. He has a very cool style that is in between smart and rugged. Banky has an eye for detail and loves to wear sunshades, scarves, and hats.
#9. Uti Nwachukwu
Former Big Brother Africa housemate who has made a good name for himself, Uti Nwachukwu is known for his classic fashion style. He is always making a fashion statement with his trademark dreads, well-tailored suits/shirts. This talented gentleman brings a unique feel to the table, his confidence strongly reflects on his style – this makes him look effortlessly stylish in anything that he wears.
#8. Ozzy Agu
Actor and TV host Ozzy Agu is another daring style enthusiast, with a mix of pre-modern and contemporary style, he knows how to light up an outfit. Ozzy gave us a healthy dose of all his best looks last year, making him one of KOBI KOACHMAN’s Most Stylish Gentlemen of 2018.
#7. Noble Igwe
Noble Igwe is definitely one of the most stylish and best-dressed gentlemen in West Africa. The style influencer knows how to mix simple, casual, and urban style that works well for his personality.
A modern classic gentleman, Noble sure knows how to slay it in any kind of outfit and is not afraid of wearing bold colors. He is also no stranger when it comes to breaking or altering certain menswear rules for the sake of style as he knows how to expertly push the limits when it comes to menswear styling without going over the edge.
#6. Ric Hassani
This stylish gentleman is known for his music and his style. The artist who is very enthusiastic about African prints gave us a lot of stylish looks this year. He mixes African prints and corporate designs to create a unique Modern African look. Ric Hassani appeared on so many lookbooks, constantly feeding our eyes with his flamboyant style.
#5. Ik Ogbonna
IK Ogbonna is Nigeria’s very own David Gandy.
He has a suave fashion sense that reflects a cool, calm, and collected attitude. His style is usually a never-dull mix of streetwear and statement tailoring worn without looking like he’s trying too hard. He is very daring when picking bold colors, he is also no stranger to Sprezzatura.
#4. Igee Okafor
Igee Okafor, a Nigerian born and US-based Fashion and Lifestyle blogger is the definition of a classic gentleman. Not many people wear a slim-fit suit better than Igee. His style is classic, but with a modern twist, often elevating simple tailoring beyond the typical 9-to-5 business suits, which ultimately gives his look an effortlessness that’s hard to copy.
#3. RMD
Some consider him as Nigeria’s very own Irvine Randle, here at KOBI KOACHMAN we consider him as one of the most stylish gentlemen in the world that are above 50.
The forever young actor Richard Mofe Damijo, RMD is the definition of an extraordinary gentleman, a charismatic style icon of ageless grace. This year like years before, he gave us looks that were drooling worthy from suits to Native attires to Casual looks. He truly is a stylish pro and definitely an icon.
#2. Ebuka Obi-Uchendu
Making it to the second Most Stylish Gentleman of 2018, Ladies and gentlemen, Nigerian’s hottest male celebrity for 2018 is Ebuka Obi-Uchendu. His unique style has obviously turned heads in the industry. Ebuka is a professional slayer when it comes to his style. He’s got a great body too and will look good in anything he wears. This male fashionista is not afraid to set trends, he is a good ambassador of the phrase “dress to kill”… and he does it with a lot of confidence.
#1. Jidenna
Taking the whole showdown, Jidenna, the classic man himself is KOBI KOACHMAN’s Most Stylish Gentleman of 2018.
The singer and rapper reek of simple style, yet sophisticated elegance with a blend of the Nigerian Culture.
Always looking 50 shades of African wherever he goes, he effortlessly slips into—and between—custom-tailored suits and traditional native attires with a mix of the two – creating altogether what I would call a Sprezzatura style for African Gentlemen.
A master of men’s style in its best form. He could dress like a regular dude and still stand out from the crowd. The classic man is obviously proud of his roots and is never afraid of incorporating it into his style. He is not a follower of a trend, he is a trendsetter!
