Style Diaries – 3rd Week

Photo-journals from Oxford’s most stylish students.

| UPDATED

This week’s Style Diaries features Tam Guobadia – second year Univ lawyer and vice president of The Oxford Cocktail Society. He says, “Personal style should be liberating and edifying, and I don’t believe in holding back”. Follow his style throughout third week as we upload a different look each day.

Monday

Tam starts the week with a colourful T-shirt and fun bowler hat. For a dinner at Malmaison, he wears a bespoke navy blue suit. He explains, ” I got this suit made in Nigeria where bespoke clothes can be made in good quality for a low budget”. Bringing his own twist to the look, he accessorizes with a golden Baroque print scarf and velvet loafers.

Tuesday

Tam calls this look ‘Triple Denim Tuesday’. The jeans take centre stage in both outfits. Throughout the day, Tam keeps the look subtle with a muted white and blue palette. For the evening, he’s ‘gone all out’ with a knock out blazer and print tie.

Wednesday

Tam’s casual day look shows that stash can be stylish- given the right pair of violet jeans. For an evening out at House cocktail bar, Tam wears a luxurious velvet blazer and a retro print snood- proving that a formal look can still look fun.

Thursday

Both of today’s looks are bold choices; from Day Glo during the day, to a Rocky Horror inspired outfit for Halloween. Tam says, “Halloween is the one day a year when a boy can dress up like a total slut and no other boys can say anything else about it”. Amen.
