I’m not particularly attached to any pieces - Kagwe Mungai talks about his style

 Kagwe Mungai

Pulse: Describe your signature style...

Kagwe: Every day is different. Since I began my journey in the industry, my music, personality and style have continued to evolve. Previously, I was really into prints and now I’m mixing it up a bit. But simply put it’s African, fun and effortlessly cool.

P: Of all the pieces in your closet, what can’t you get rid of?

K: I’m not particularly attached to any pieces. If I feel something needs to go then it probably does.

P: On a lazy weekend trip to the mall, you will be caught wearing...

K: Keeping it simple is key. Overdoing it tends to be most people’s downfall. You’d probably find me in a T-shirt or hoodie, some simple pants or shorts and boots or high-top sneakers.

P: For your last concert you wore?

K: To my last gig, which was the launch of my new music video Give it to Me, featuring King Kaka, I wore a black trench coat, a white tuxedo shirt, a couple of gold accessories, black pants, a watch and Timberland boots.

P: A well dressed woman is one...

K: Who is self-aware. She knows who she is and knows exactly how to portray that through her dressing.

P: Good hygiene to you means?

Kagwe: Washing your hands! Also, I’m quite keen on smell. A person that smells good is immediately somebody you can have a warm conversation with.

P: Which is the most embarrassing trend you have ever worn?

K: None. Every trend I wore, I once believed in and still stand by to this day. Without those trends my evolution would have been missing certain chapters.

P: Which trend needs to die now?

K: You know those suits that have the sleeves cut off at the elbows? They must be abolished.

P: Which accessories would you splurge on without thinking twice?

K: Probably shoes. But truth be told, if it looks good, is comfortable and I really want it, then I will have it!

P: Which statement piece can’t you leave the house without?

Kagwe: Before I could never leave the house without a scarf. Now it’s a smile and a watch.
