What's going on guys.
Welcome back to Arccway a new direction of modern man.
So Memphis currently plays for a French league called the Olympic Lyonnais.
That is in France and he is a forward.
So in this video, I'm going to be styled, breaking down three characteristics of his
style that you guys should take away from this video to elevate your game to the next
level.
Let's go.
So if you guys new to his channel, make sure you guys describe the channel first and foremost,
hit the thumbs up on his video and share the content.
So I just want to mention one thing before I start.
What I might start doing now is giving you guys a little more history about the person
that I'm still breaking down.
Cause I want you guys to.
Understand why people wear certain things.
There's usually a core connection between clothing and emotion and in between that is
life experience.
So why don't we start doing now is providing you guys a little more background history
of the person and you'll start understanding why they wear certain pieces.
So this is actually quite interesting because what I realized about Memphis as I started
doing a little more research, listened to his upbringing, his stories, and for a guy
who's only 26 years old.
It's quite incredible to see a lot of parallels that I've been through from his, his own story.
So why don't we do here is explain.
Why he's wearing certain things to you guys.
So from his life experience, if can understand that this gentleman is quite a closed off
person and he dealt with a lot of things in his past, I'll advise you guys check out his
book so you can actually see the personal experiences he's been through.
Interesting to see that racism in North America is quite covert to a certain extent.
Don't get me wrong.
There is the extremes, but then you see it within sports in Europe that is quite overt
where you see fans having like banners and stuff.
And it's quite normalized in.
In those areas and who it's a different world, let's just say that it's a different world.
So one thing I want to get into regarding Memphis, his style is that he wears a lot
of selective high end fashion.
He has a lot of pieces that is quite unique and individual and rightfully so because it's
really describing him as a person, as an independent.
A person.
And from what he's been through, you can see that he just wants to be the stinked and himself.
This is really cool because he has a leather jacket right here, all black leather jacket.
Okay.
And then it's actually painted in white profanity is actually pretty cool because this is like
a personalized piece.
And that's something I actually encourage you guys to check out with when it comes down
to selecting personal pieces.
It can be from a luxury end.
It can be from like a semi luxury to like a street wear look, but for something that's
personalized or you, which you guys can purchase yourself, those Jack overall looks pretty
sick on him and you can actually see skull shirt underneath it.
So kind of complimenting the contrast there as a sick outfit.
So you can actually see within this milk right here, it's kind of like an outrageous jacket,
but it's loud.
It's, it's powerful.
As a statement is showing that he's here, the King is here.
And it's interesting because he's wearing the same jacket.
That's similar to Michael Jackson.
Michael Jackson has something that he used to wear back in the day.
They both just wear it in their own personal style.
He's presented himself as a King he's here.
Next thing I want to get into, I noticed about Memphis is that he wears a lot of smart, casual.
Now wanting want to get into this factor of the little bit of lounge wear and a smart
casual looks.
I'll start with the lounge wear.
So you actually see Mike wearing like a velvet.
Jumper from head to toe.
It's obviously quite different from anything you will pick up here in North America.
But if you look for something distinct and unique, you can find a lot of different pieces.
So you can just see how the design pattern on the shoulder is.
It's showing how this jumper is different from anything else you experienced even comes
down to the parents.
This is a very simple, you do.
You'll have to go to a high luxury place to do it.
I saw her friend that works at banana Republic.
And he introduced me to a lot of velvet pieces.
I was at first, I was a little standoffish about it because I never wore it.
So get yourself into more velvets because when I put that on from his advice, yes, I
was just like, you start seeing yourself in a different manner.
And actually the way you wear velvet jacket can actually look really, really good for
you guys.
So, one thing I do want you guys checkout is checkout the arc way, Instagram, because
I'll be posting content on a daily basis.
What you'll be seeing is from anything from fashion to style, to culture, to art, anything
that really inspires arc weight as a brand, you guys will just see it from there.
And then that way you guys can pick up what you guys like most about it, and then apply
it to your own style.
Your own life, your own culture, your own fashion.
So it was smart.
Casual look is that you great?
Go-to if anyone is going to be traveling or you want to prep yourself up a little bit
and in a professional setting, but it's relaxed, um, you can actually wear like a polo, like
what he's wearing right now.
And then you got the white shorts within as well.
And then actually want to jump into this picture, which is quite sick.
This is a picture of when it's like a, more of a casual, everyday type of look where you
guys can actually style yourself in that fashion as well.
This is in a setting of a street environment.
It's a smart, casual look again.
He has a crock pair of pants.
He has a loafers and he has the loafers matching his shirt and he actually has the blue over
the shoulder man bag.
That's just normal.
There's no other way to say it.
And just to show you one more look of a smart, casual look, you guys can actually incorporate
in your own look as well.
So this is interesting because he's collaborating the lounge look like I mentioned before with
the smart, casual.
So he has a tailored sweat pants, but the great thing about this, he has the jacket.
I believe it's a zip up.
You can't tell from here, cause scarf is covering it, but he has a scarf over his jacket as
well.
So.
It kind of has a balance of smart, casual with the lounge wear look, and I, those are
actually blends yoga shoes.
I can tell, but yeah, the whole look is quite clean.
So the last characteristic, which I want you guys to embrace about Memphis here, Memphis
is actually going in into more of his roots.
Not only that he's a Dutch, but he's also gardening.
And so he's really going back to who was African roots here, and you actually see it with what
he's wearing right here.
So he's wearing a all.
White actually pinstripe, uh, African attire.
So this is quite normal within Africa, uh, standards of fashion.
So this is great to see someone doing this, right?
Uh, this even styling in their own way, especially it has the African scarf around his neck as
well.
You know, the great thing about fashion is it's a great way of connecting people because.
Sometimes, if you go to certain places in the world and you're in a business suit, you're
not relatable.
As much as you could be from there is not going to be accepted as a person, right.
You're going to be accepted as a figure of, of like demand or our dictatorship.
It's great to see and go back to Ghana and how the relationship it's with the people.
That's a great thing, not only building relationships, but knowing and understanding people's stories.
So the fact that he's wearing the African attire in this environment, it is adds to
the whole story a lot more better.
You can see right here with more African attire, he has his watch on as well.
Which is really cool.
This is inspiring you for me to even like, see this, even for me, man.
This is something that I want to connect myself back to within my own culture of being a Jamaican
in Nigeria.
I think it's so important just to connect back to your home country.
Your environment, the clothing you wear, just eating the food, the culture, experiencing
the culture is very, very important for anyone of their nationality.
Definitely for me, I definitely see myself going to Africa and Jamaica, definitely connecting
with people out there and this kind of sharing the experience of people as well.
So I hope you guys enjoy this video as much as I did, because I feel like this was actually
a really good one that I enjoy doing.
And, um, I hope you guys enjoy it as well.
My name is Tolu.
I'll see you guys in next video.
Peace. .
