Superfine: Tailoring Black Style for the Modern Man

Three modern men stepped onto the Met Gala carpet, showcasing their interpretation of the theme through impeccable tailoring that explores dandyism.

Keith Powers

Keith Powers presented a sleek yet extravagant look, playing with proportions and patterns (as I've mentioned before, prints are in for the guys!). He mixed stripes with polka dots in a monochromatic color palette, and the tailored fit of his jacket, combined with the elongation of his pants, creates a taller appearance. Wearing a custom suit from BOSS, paired with light accessorizing, this ensemble perfectly fits him and embodies the essence of the modern man.

Damson Idris

Damson Idris made a bold statement at the Met Gala with a unique entrance. He arrived in an F1 race car and made his way onto the carpet while wearing a tear-away racing uniform. This revealed a striking, rich red suit jacket paired with bell-bottom pants, adding flair and shape to his outfit. His right arm featured a plaid striped print, and he accessorized with a bedazzled racing helmet, light accessories, and racing gloves, which completed the look perfectly. Everything came together to make this custom Tommy Hilfiger suit a standout success!

Edvin Thompson

Edvin Thompson steps out in a velvet suit jacket paired with velvet pants that transition into a leather-like material. He completes the outfit with a shirt and a black tie, which would have been enough on its own. However, this Jamaican designer added an enlarged and vibrant flower on his right shoulder, an oversized checkered hat for an extra touch of flair, and a black coat to enhance the overall richness of the look. This emphasizes ways to enhance an already crisp base layer and transform it into something more sophisticated and thematic.

Draw inspiration from these Met Gala looks by incorporating specific pieces, textures, prints, and silhouettes into your everyday wardrobe. These three men exemplify the pinnacle of an elevated modern man's look.

The Power of $1,000

When money stress hits, it’s easy to think the solution is total financial freedom. But here’s the truth: many people aren’t really stressed about being rich—they’re stressed about not feeling in control.

Here’s a little magic trick—keep $1,000 in your bank account. Don’t spend it. Just let it sit there, looking pretty. Suddenly, life feels... lighter. Your brain chills out. You’re not rich, but you’re not panicking either. You’ve got options.

That $1,000 says, “Go ahead, life—throw a flat tire at me. I dare you.” It’s not about freedom, it’s about feeling like the boss of your own money. Like you're driving the car instead of clinging to the bumper.

So yeah, maybe you don’t need a lottery win. Maybe you just need a little breathing room—and a balance that makes you feel like you’ve got this.

Money can't buy happiness, but a financial buffer? Pretty close.

Quick Happy Boost!

Take a 5-minute joy break! Step outside, breathe in fresh air, or listen to your favorite upbeat song. Even a short walk or stretch can refresh your mind. Try smiling—yes, even if you don’t feel like it. It can actually lift your mood. Text a friend something kind or funny; spreading cheer brings it back to you. You could also grab a small treat or doodle something silly. Little moments of happiness recharge your mental energy and help you face the rest of the day with a lighter heart. You’ve got this!
