You may be curious about what the caption means but let me explain.  “Where Sam at” was a quick little phrase big homie Ceej used to let those know he was back on his soil.  Another well-known entrepreneur through fashion Ceej is starting to get Bay Area recognition for the clothing brand he created.  The name Beautiful Struggle derives from his upbringing in regards to not having what all the other kids had growing up.  He stopped chasing after what everybody was into and decided to style himself in a way others may be intrigued by.  His brand shirt is companied by the flannel which also matches his selected beanie.  He plans on expanding from just shirts and hoodies to full jumpsuits which are booming in the fashion world right now.  Until then he will keep expanding his following and creating new connections in hopes that another big brand will pay him to collaborate with his merchandise.

Above is an outfit that may seem simplistic but actually speaks out in volume.  The color combination from shoulder to toe compliments each asset of the outfit.  Another worldwide brand that can help you structure your outfit is Tommy Hilfiger.  There was a negative conniption behind the brand for some time but after Tommy, himself corrected the rumor he didn’t like young African Moors.  It has increased in popularity again amongst the youngsters.  Both the Ferragamo belt and Apple Watch compliment certain parts of the outfit that you can examine on your own. Though the denim may look like it doesn’t belong to the outfit, it actually coordinates well if you could see the tee underneath. And lastly, another staple show amongst all right now is the Nike Air Maxes.  Also referred to as race runners because people like Slick, who is currently racing to money and simultaneously parlayed back for an Instagram hit.

I know the importance of fashion has been important in my previous postings but this outfit serves another purpose.  Being a part of the: most cracking, lit, and Owtest fraternity means you got to dress accordingly when you step out on that hype.  By that I mean you’ll never catch a Que dressed up more than my prophyte with the OPPF hat on.  I kept it simple since I was setting owt marches in the hot ass Palo Alto sun. Nobody trying to get clean just to get the whole outfit sweaty so I threw on some PRP brand jeans with the classic vans and called it that.  I intentionally didn’t wear denim and shoes to correlate to my frat shirt cause I knew it was going to come off during some point of being outside with it.  Was not really a fitted cap type day so I threw on the bucket hat and sprayed sucker repellant and called that the fit.

A staple brand sneaker is worn by most millennials in North Oakland also referred to as “Ice City” are Jordans.  Though Jordans were made with the intent of hooping in, they have gained significance in the fashion world.  I personally vibe with the structure of the outfit being that the black pyramid top has Jordan’s number on it.  Slim fit true religions so you see the emphasis placed on the #13’s.    If you look closely, you can see the Louis Vuitton belt.  Not trying to boast and show off like some people intentionally try to but its there if you catch of glimpse like now. I think that we unintentionally express to the world what matters in regards to our interest. By that I mean our choice of fashion directly correlates to how we want to be perceived. Grade A student-athlete approaching the dream of playing in the NBA and eventually the goal is to have future millennials wear his shoe.

Another young mogul in the fashion game is Jayyybills. understanding what styles of denim go with shoes is one of the biggest problems people have according him. It is the hardest part and Jayybills like to think from the bottom up since that is how he is getting to where he is destined to be. Steady taking trips, meeting people and making new connections is all on the agenda as of now. The biggest focus is chasing after the bag so he can physically man handle the industry his passion is so strong for. But till then, AF1’s are one of the easiest shoes to style around according to him. Bend but do not break because sooner than later he will be assembling outfits for somebody you look up to in main stream media. Until then, Jayyybills a be doing his dash until it is time for the ball to start rolling.

When stepping out to a formal setting, you should always dress to impress and above is a prime example on how to do so.  A Givenchy tailored suit but some may underestimate the tailor because of the simplicity to it.  All the way down to the cherry red gissepi sneakers that solidly the complimentary suit.  Again I mention that D man, the baby of the 1c is a big stepper when it comes to fashion.  A pivotal icon in the San Fransico Bay Area that has gained recognition from his peers because of his style. And a way he displays his style in the fashion and other aspects of life is through his own platform of social media being Instagram and other sites where he has a decent following.

Rule number one to fashion is making yourself feel outstanding. The world is a melting pot filled with ideas. Taking flavors from other and incorporating it into something you find special is something we should not over rate. If you feel as if you have not reached your fashion peek, do not panic. Nothing is perfect the first time, continue to work on your craft and it will match your standards. Steel sharpens steel and by saying this, I want to make it clear that it is nothing wrong with asking for help or ideas. Having too big of pride is something that limits many from reaching their full potential. Like all things in life, if you want to see improvements in something you have to apply your all to it. By that I mean you can not expect your fashion style to become better if you half care about it in the first place.

I spoke with young fashion mogul JDub also referred to as JayBills by some who is increasing in popularity for his unique style in fashion. He is in working with several people behind the scenes in the fashion world who many people idolize like the brands VLONE and VastMerchandiseCollection. Both brands originate in New York and he has selected elements from all over to incorporate into his clothing line he will soon drop here in the bay area. In the brief conversation we had, he mentioned that most people often have it all wrong in regards to fashion. He then went on to say you do not have to have all the biggest named brand items to seem cool. “Don’t get me wrong, big named brands out there can give somebody drip but assembling outfits with what you have in a way somebody else couldn’t is more unique in my eyes.”
