Where, oh where is the hip urban gent to get his threads? UP picks the best spots in Nairobi to get fashionable menswear.
This is where the crème de la crème in Kenya shop, including Kenya’s President Uhuru Kenyatta. Little Red is known for their precise fittings and for their array of international brands including Ermenegildo Zegna, Armani Collezioni, Brioni and Stefano Ricci.
Locations: Kimathi Street CBD, Yaya Center
With a description like “The Sign Of Distinction” they are setting high standards for the quality and style of their garment, but Barton & Melablooms have managed create an edge for themselves in high end men’s wear without insane price tags. Stylish and modern, the clothes have a particular lifestyle in mind — when you buy your suit you feel the urge to own a Bentley to go along with it
Locations: Prestige Plaza Ngong Road, The Village Market, The Junction, Westgate Mall
Have you ever walked into an Avilas store? If not ,you better keep an eye out for them. They have fashionable formal/casual clothes, shoes and accessories. Their prices are fair and they have regular offers, which means if you are lucky you can get some cool stuff at a bargain.
Locations: Garden City, TRM, Kimathi St.
This is a more laid back store but the line is edgy with a particular style, kinda reminds this writer of the BMW for some reason. And do remember not to go with your partner or girlfriend as they will probably end up shopping for themselves.
Locations: Lonrho House, Valley Arcade, Garden City
When you need to send out a statement, even during dress down Friday, there is no better way to say it than wearing one of the Bonk signature t-shirts. They are best known for their killer designs, and every Nairobi man needs one of this in their wardrobe.
Locations: Junction Shopping Mall
