Csquared Menswear

As our Csquared man-on-the-ground, we asked #TOPSWAG Style Icon Winner Mvelo Ncube to share his thoughts on the looks and trends from this years Durban July…here’s what he had to say;

This past week saw the great annual migration by the who’s who in the S.A entertainment and fashion to Durban…bags and suit / dress cases all in hand. A horse race event more popularly known for the fashion and who wore what by whom than the actual horses.

Some took the theme, “A Material World”, more seriously than others, encompassing the use of synthetic fibres and promoting the going green natural and organic initiative. 

For those of us who weren’t as brave to but wished to show an understanding of the theme a floral printed shirt and a green jacket.

The event is formal in nature, and the theme doesn’t necessarily have to be followed, best dressed guys there were in classic black, navy or grey suits. Musician Stoan went for a Csquared Checked Jacket and Da Les who was also dressed by Csquared wore a white shirt and navy suit. 

And there are those who missed the memo and thought it was the “Dubai July” and some whose main purpose was just to arrive.

All in all it was a great day, with beautiful people (mostly), heres to the next !!

The Durban July lived up to every expectation and exceeded it WOW from the fashion to the live music oh and races too. After having experienced the Peroni SkyBox, I’m convinced, no I actually know FOR SURE that there is absolutely no other way to experience the July, VVIP treatment from the get go. 

The first night at the hotel we were greeted with welcome drinks and ushered to a pre-party so guests could get settled in anticipation of the big day ahead the following morning.

Heeeello 7th of July, the big day that promised great memories at the end of it had finally arrived. Dressed in my Csquared outfit I was ready to head out to the Durban July and get the party started and man oh man what a party it was.

The Peroni SkyBox was exactly that - a Box in the Sky over looking the entire event. On the one end of the box you had the best view of the races, not entering into any discussion regarding bets and how disappointed I am with a certain horse (Jackson) no relation to Michael and Janet so I should’ve known better. And on the other end of the Box was music stage.

Celebrities in the SkyBox included Da Les, Stoan, Tumisho Masha. All dressed by House of Monatic and other celebrities in the box were Lunga Tshabalala and Lulo Cafe.

As the night came to an end the day had offered tons of laughter, new friends and great viewing pleasure.

There is absolutely no better way to have experienced my very first July.

Csquared Menswearwas featured in the April 2012 Issue of the elite men’s magazine Blaque.

The SAMAs are South Africa’s biggest music event. It’s a chance for the stars to dazzle their fans. The questions on everyone’s mouths are who is going home with an award? But the bigger question is what will they wear? Blaque Magazine has music superstar Da L.E.S

Da L.E.S wears a Csquared Menswear Jacket in the top picture.

What has us even more excited about this spread is that is was styled by Csquared #TOPSWAG Style Icon Search Finalist Thabo Mafisa. Good job bruv!
