Don’t you just love when a fine gentleman steps out in traditional wear that matches his charm? If “gentlemaness” isn’t a real word, maybe it should be — because Fireboy DML embodied it this weekend.
He arrived in a refined four-piece lace outfit: a flowing, floor-length black agbada layered over the classic buba (top), sokoto (trousers), and fila (cap), all in deep black. It’s a familiar traditional look, yet he gives it a fresh, well-put-together feel.
What drew our eyes instantly was the embroidery spread across the chest of the agbada — a stunning arrangement of geometric shapes in gold and bronze, woven together with touches of red and burgundy. The closer you look, the more artistic it becomes, almost like a crafted piece meant to be studied. Against the black fabric, the detailing really comes alive.
His accessories added a contemporary edge: aviator sunglasses, layered silver chains around his neck and wrists, rings on his fingers, stud earrings and sleek black shoes. Everything came together neatly without taking away from the richness of the outfit.
This look is truly one for the books. It is clean, stylish and confidently put together. Whoever said black lace couldn’t shine in traditional menswear hasn’t seen this. If you’re a groom-to-be or you’ve got a December event lined up, this is the kind of look that places you in the right light. Fireboy’s photos say it all.
