Kola Omotoso Breaks the Menswear Rule in a Pink Suit

Kola Omotoso recently shared photos from his 30th birthday shoot on Instagram wearing a double-breasted pink suit, a colour not often seen in classic menswear. He captioned the post, “Good morning, 30,” alongside the hashtag #ThirtywithKola.

He chose a pastel pink double-breasted suit paired with a crisp white dress shirt. The jacket featured white buttons and peaked lapels, while his high-waisted, wide-leg trousers flowed down to the floor. A large cream-coloured bow-tie scarf at the collar became the standout detail of the outfit. The suit was designed by Emmy Kasbit, while Yomo Daj handled the styling.

His hair was cut in a faded buzz style with a clean lineup along the forehead. He accessorized with rectangular rimless sunglasses featuring blue-to-purple gradient lenses. A metallic ring, gold bracelet, and watch completed the look. He paired everything with dark burgundy leather dress shoes finished with a simple square-toe design. The images were captured by photographer Chuchuojekwe.

Beyond the photoshoot, Kola has also been making public appearances. Last week, he joined fellow former BBNaija housemates Doyin David, DJ Flo, and Uriel at the media launch for BBNaija Season 11, where they discussed life after reality TV. During the conversation, Kola said the show gave him visibility, but staying relevant afterwards takes hard work, passion, and consistency.

Since leaving the house, Kola has secured partnerships with brands including Budweiser, Singleton, Itel, and Bet Naija. He has also walked the runway at Lagos Fashion Week.

Just days before sharing the birthday photos, Kola posted another outfit from TKO Lagos, wearing a white tie-neck shirt with black trousers and captioning it, “Just me and a clean fit.” Compared with the birthday look, the styling was much more restrained. Side by side, the two outfits highlighted his ability to move between casual and statement-making looks.
