Fashion – Men’s Wear at Carnival Fetes

Our post for “What to Wear to a Carnival Fete” for women was such a hit that we decided to help the men out also. I’ve partnered with Gavin [IG: @gbvision] on this feature to give you a man’s perspective. In Gavin’s words, here is what you need.

CARNIVAL ESSENTIALS

Gavin recommends buying staple pieces, known as your carnival essentials so that you can put together your look.

ASOS/Uniqlo – The recommended website for all things basic and functional. If you’re looking for fast fashion with moderate price points, ASOS and Uniqlo is your one-stop destination.

Cos/J. Crew – These brands offer Premium basics in modern silhouettes. Whenever you need that key piece to complete your look, without breaking the bank and compromising quality.
