Ebuka Obi-Uchendu Does the Pinstripe Suit Differently

Ebuka Obi-Uchendu attended the 12th anniversary of StyleVitae at Nomaada Lagos. The dress code for the event was “stylishly you,” and Ebuka understood the assignment and delivered accordingly, which is no surprise given how well he is known for his exquisite and creative approach to fashion.

Ebuka arrived in a deconstructed, oversized navy-blue pinstripe suit. The double-breasted jacket had sweeping, dominant peak lapels and a dropped shoulder line that enhanced his frame without looking stiff. The jacket was left open to reveal a low-cut white tank top, which he wore underneath. He paired it with matching trousers that defy the traditional suiting way by flowing into a wide-leg, simple-flare silhouette that dropped down to the floor.

He styled his look with a classic black wool beret worn over his forehead, and two large layered white fabric orchid corsages pinned boldly on his left peak lapel, this accessory acts as the highlight against the dark pinstripe fabric. He also wore clear-lens aviator glasses that added a hint of vintage charm to his face. Peeking out from the pooling hems of his flared trousers were sharp, dual-toned black-and-white pointed dress shoes. The bright white detail on the toes matched the suit’s stripes and floral lapel pins, pulling the whole look together from head to toe.

Pinstripe has always been a classic, but Ebuka made it feel like his own thing here. The beret, the floral corsage, the open jacket over a tank top, none of it was accidental. This was different compared to the teal suit and dark loafers he wore in late March, which had a much more relaxed feel to it.
