You could make the argument that dressing like a contributing member of society could keep a certain criminal element away :manny:

We don't have control over the circumstances/area you're raised in, but once we're adults, it's on us to better ourselves and trive more like our parents intended. But you have to look the part if you want to sit at the big boys table.


Good quality fabric makes all the difference wallahi. Certain pieces can be a little costly, but they'll last for years. And it's not like they cost more than the gaudy flashy shit people already spend money on anyway.

I agree. The environment you live in plays a role. I remember the first time I started leaving the ghetto area I grew up in and going to different areas around central London.

Its a whole different world.

Those man are rich on snap but live in the flesh; they're broke. It's sad. So many of the guys I used go school and chill with are bums now. :reallymaury:

Tuugo/gang-bangers are never rich, they wear all the money they stole. Only dumb teen girls and adult ciyaalo suuqads are into that thing.

I remember reading Freakonomics and this part was interesting;

If you had a job paying $3.30 an hour, you'd be bunking at home too.

Appreciate this thread. Do you have any advice on the ideal haircut/hairstyle/particular fades we should rock as well as a Somali man in the professional world?

Not neccesarily insulting. But you will definitely stand out like a sore thumb. Especially if you are under 25.

The uniform is usually a Nike tech, Canada goose, and LV hat lol.

Maybe keep some of those items and underneath wear normal clothes. Zip up coat when you enter the ghettos.

When is the cut-off age for wearing designer t-shirts, jeans, puffer jackets or 'athletic' or branded/gaudy trainers? I have acquiantaces (some of whom are Somali) approaching 30 still dressing like teenagers. It's embarrassing wallahi. Espesically at networking events or seminars. It's either wagie office attire or North Face jackets and jeans with these lads.

Granted it's their choice & some of these guys are brilliant & insightful nonetheless, but you can see certain (important) people at these events visibly recoil. The UK's still very much classist and your outward appearance/personal conduct carries alot of weight. This isn't Silicon Valley waryadahey, you can't get away with looking sloopy.

For those of you who give a shit and are in the mid 25s approaching the jeans and Tees "cut-off", here's my advice:





  • Try wearing Pleated trousers or a pair of Chinos. If you must, a pair of plain black jeans.

  • Try a reverse collar polo, zip polo, an oxford shirt or a plan white t-shirt (if you're wearing slightly more 'smart-ish' trousers). Something more toned down in colour/pattern.

  • Footwear wise, AVOID anything overtly branded or gaudy like your life depends on it. Stick to sneakers with one colour, I'd recommend white, grey or black. You wanted to be remembered for your talking points and how well you've sold yourseld/your ideas, not for wearing Neon coloured Jordans. These people aren't trashy council estate girls you're trying to get head off of. And don't be a dickhead who does the whole "no/insible" socks shit either. You're not some South Korean K-Pop twink.

  • For jackets, this will vary on the weather, but if the events outdoors you want to avoid puffers jackets & the like sxb. You're not climbing up Mount Everest stick with a basic Harrington jacket, or a more toned down bomber jacet. But i'd personally recommend simple Suede jacket.

Im taking notes, I will be closer to 30 then 25 this year. I have been dreading this moment for some time. It will be hard to say goodbye to my Northface puffer jacket and my Nike Airforce 1s. These soldiers have served me well. Atleast hooyo will be happy I look classy in my trenchcoat and boots but at what cost?

You can have a classy work clothes and more β€œcasual” everyday clothes. I wear formal trench coat to work but puffer jacket etc. otherwise.

You need to impress the right people at the right time but otherwise f*ck them.
