How-To-Look-Very-Demure-Befitting-Style

How do we look demure, mindful, and cutesy as a non-minimalist? Demure is defined as reserved and modest in the Webster Dictionary. Jools Lebron recently popularized the word demure when referring to her nails on TikTok and it sparked an interest in many as people started to wonder what is demure about other forms of beauty such as makeup and fashion. As a non-minimalist, I don’t think being demure applies to me. For my girls who don’t like to keep it simple but still want to look demure, here are…

The Power of Consistency – Green Crop Top + Polka Dot Maxi Skirt

Green-crop-Top-White-Green-Polka-Dot-Maxi-Skirt-Befitting-Style

I’m so proud of my consistency with daily workouts. Wearing this green crop top with a white and green polka dot skirt revealed to me that my hard work has been paying off. Results don’t happen overnight but eating right and exercising often truly has incredible benefits. Self-care in this manner is very demure and it’s the secret sauce to life’s elevation. I’ve wanted 6 pack abs for about 10 years and still don’t have it. For the past 7 months, I’ve been working out 6 days a week and…

Kamala Harris Style For The Presidential Race – 10 Elevated Looks

Oyinkan

In true Befitting Style fashion, it’s only right that we discuss Madame Vice President Kamala Harris’ style and what I’d love to see as we progress in this presidential election. The presidential candidate dresses like the average politician but how do we take it from average to extraordinary? It’s not every day that we get a woman of color as a presidential candidate in America. Of course, Harris’ style is not as important as the policies that she proposes but why not look exceptional while running this presidential race? Policies…

Neutrals for Dinner at Manuela DTLA

Oyinkan

I had the pleasure of having dinner at Manuela in downtown Los Angeles so I kept it neutral with a beige crop top, beige and white stripe skirt, and brown heels. If you’re not new to Befitting Style, you probably already know that brunch is life but once in a while, I indulge in dinners. Filled with excitement, this was my first time eating at Manuela and I was excited to try a bit of as much as my stomach could manage. I started off with the delicious cream biscuits…

Graduation Guest Dress – Floral Midi Dress

Oyinkan

What do you wear to a graduation when you’re not the one graduating? As a graduation guest, it’s important that you put your best foot forward. I find that graduation guests keep it casual as many opt for denim and t-shirts but I’ve always believed that graduations are an important affair. It’s not every day that your loved one gets a degree so put the t-shirts and jeans to the side, grab a dress, and show up like you care. I believe the more important the event, the greater the…

DIY Pink Crochet Jacket – NYFW FW2024

Oyinkan

If you’re not new to Befitting Style, then you know this is not my first crochet jacket. The other colors look so good that I had to create a pink crochet jacket! As a pink lover, I’m surprised I didn’t do it sooner but here we are. I crocheted this jacket 5 years ago and didn’t think of wearing it anytime soon but I knew whenever I do decide to wear it, the full look would be incredible. What else do I wear in the middle of winter when heading…

I had the pleasure of joining Black In Fashion Council’s third installment of their networking event. It’s my first BIFC event and it was held at Soho Works where the light bites were yummy and the Viarae prosecco was flowing. I’ve been pretty lowkey lately but when I heard about this event, I knew I had to go! About BIFC Led by Editor in Chief of The Cut, Lindsay R. Peoples and Founder of Sandrine Charles Consulting, Sandrine Charles, BIFC is a safe space for black people working in fashion.…

NYFW 2022 Kickoff

Oyinkan

I kicked off New York Fashion Week at Long Island Sports Cars. I’ve never attended a Fashion Week event held in Long Island so I was excited to see what going out east has to offer. I decided to attend the event very last minute so I grabbed the grey crochet jacket that I crocheted a few years ago and paired it with a brown suede dress and blue thigh-high boots. I must admit that I was a bit (definitely more than a bit) skeptical as most NYFW events are held in…

DIY Crochet Jacket – Brown

Oyinkan

I’ve been creating Crochet Jackets for a few years. It started off as a design that I challenged myself to create because, to my knowledge, these crochet jackets only existed in my brain. Over the years, I’ve created this crochet jacket in several colors. Although I started creating these jackets a few years ago, it’s always fun to work on a new color. My auburn box braids inspired me to create a brown one. Crocheting is my favorite pastime. Once I begin creating, I have to see it through. Finishing it becomes so…
