1. How would you describe your style? Kanye West, mixed with John legend. I love to pair Creative Recreations with a dress shirt and a tie and blazer.
2. How did you become so stylish? The area I grew up in, Prince George’s County Maryland (Richest African American county in the U.S.), everyone dresses like they are about to be in a photo shoot, lol. I am inspired by the kids I work with, they have to have a stylish guy to look up to.
3. What advice would you give someone trying to find their personal style? Pick the most random thing in your closet and rock it! Wear stuff that is very very hard to find, limited edition type stuff.
4. What’s the best clothing advice you’ve received? Well I would say to keep a clean shape-up (once every other week). Lastly, Buy a nice pair of hard shoes.
I must admit… the dude is pretty fresh.
So fresh…so clean!
VSH
OMG!!!…your a celebrity now. Can I have your autograph? Oh yea by the way you look FANTASTIC!!!…LOL
That dude is pretty fresh!
But, I wouldn’t expect any less from him! LOL
That’s my homie… so fly! The new John West!
‘Lij,’ way to go!!
You are a star!
You always look good boo
Alija Is by far one of the flyest guys I know in the P.G area hands down!! Keep doin your thing hun!
This look is fly. His taste is impeccable; indicative of sartorial influence. Though the monochromatic palette he employs is definately on point; this look would be over-the-top with a splash of color (and a hat).
Definitely a young man on the come up! Nice to a young black male with his stuff together. You definitely have “swagga to burn” babes!
“To whom much is given much is required.”
Dude is definitely fresh with admirable aspirations…props !
