Look of the Day
Sibusiso was spotted at Sandton City donning the sophisticated and refined urban look. He looks stylishly casual in a cream jersey, beige scarf, brown leather jacket, fitted jeans and dark brown shoes.
The "Refined Gentleman" is one of the key looks this season and Sibusiso is a prime example of this.
To get this look, go for leather jackets, trench coats, scarves, hats (we love fedoras, newsboy hats, ski caps and bowlers hats) and vests worn over button-down shirts. Try stick to neutral colours in your key pieces, but you can throw in a splash of colour in your accessories.
Versatility is the main essence of the look and it lets you go from the office, to the mall, to evening drinks and dinner in style and looking "the part".
Woolworths
After months of hiding under layers of jerseys and coats, it's finally time to come out of the winter cocoon and try out the new spring fashion trends.
If you’ve been feeling nervous about channeling 80s tannies who sported gold anchors on their red jacket lapels, fear not.
A Parisian style staple – do we need another reason? – ballet flats remain summer’s go-to shoe for urban stylistas on the move.

This year, Father's Day falls right in the middle of you-know-what, which may result in plenty of side-tracked people leaving the gift-buying to the last possible minute.
We’re not ones to forsake a pair of heels for the option of sporting a pair of sneakers, so we have steadfastly resisted buying a pair of Superga flag sneakers for months, despite desperately wanting
We’ve never been one to shy away from a bit of an oversized accessory – especially when that accessory is a slouchy shopper or some arm candy!
Okay, even we had to suspend our Sex and the City Fest to pay our respect to the new June issue of Vanity Fair (newly landed at Exclusive Books and CNA).
Despite the fact that hundreds of British housewives were up in arms earlier this year thanks to new supermarket rulings that they couldn’t wear their PJs to do the groceries, we don’t even think you
There we were musing over the fact that we never get to write about menswear and now we’re clocking up two days on the trot.
Most Wanted
We love this season’s off-duty look. Call it chic combat or utility, the stores are awash on olive green and khaki for a very fashionable army.
We love Woolworths’ carefully edited selection of key items and the cuffed trousers and combat palette of their new summer must-haves had us running for the rails.
While you’re there hunting down your slub cotton teeshirts and casual trousers, don’t forget to check out their new collection of statement heels.
They are hot off the international catwalks and prices start at around R300, which is super fantastic in anyone’s book!
