Published

Davido wrapped up his 5IVE Alive Tour in Guinea six days ago captioning his Instagram post “And that’s a wrap. Thank you, Guinea! 48 shows. 4 continents. Hundreds of thousands of people. One movement…” While this message showed gratitude for the global run, his fashion choice for the final performance was equally worth noting.

He wore a carefully tailored dark blue pinstripe two-piece suit that immediately stood out because it mixed cultural elements with modern tailoring. Something you wouldn’t expect to be worn by an artist. The double-breasted blazer gave structure to the outfit, while the loose fit of the trousers and blazer made it unique.

What really pulled the look together was the use of patterns and cultural appliques. The blue traditional cap added a unique blend to the outfit. Instead of going for a regular suit-and-tie appearance or a causal artist-like look, he chose a style that reflected both luxury fashion and Nigerian identity.

The detailing on the suit is worth highlighting. The embroidered designs across the chest and pockets broke up the pinstripes nicely and added more detail. He kept his accessories minimal. The sunglasses, wristwatch, and bracelets blended in naturally.

The white sneakers also added a unique touch. Some people may see them as too casual for the outfit, but they softened the seriousness of the suit giving it a simpler finish.

As African artists continue gaining global attention, fashion has become part of how they communicate identity and influence.
