I love the fact there is a story behind this image, and it’s evident; there is a narrative that is left for you to build and work forward to. This look isn’t polished, nor is overly dishevelled, however it’s real, as opposed to perfectly pampered faces we are used to seeing through these current weeks in fashion. It isn’t perfect, yet in an odd perspective, it is…
Love combination of the denim shirt with the leather suspenders. However, too many accessories: the bandana, the cap, the sunglasses, the thick watch and the armbands. With a little bit more relief of skin this look will be perfect!
I like this outfit very much. I wear it myself quite often with other details and accessories but I understand his look exactly. It’s sturdy and refined at the same time. Beautiful sunglasses and watch.
Greetings from Amsterdam.
he looks kind of awesome at first. the shirt is beautiful and he’s super good looking. but so many accessories! belt + suspenders + bandana + bracelets + watch + sunglasses + hat. too much.
I love everything about this guy’s look!He looks comfortable in this stylish combination he is wearing. I like his sunglasses too and the gold buttons on a denim shirt!
I wonder, after reading the comments, whether the trick to looking this good is all in the details of the accessories. After all, an ordinary denim shirt, blue jeans, but then, add, add, add.
That guy looks sooooo cool! I can’t find any words for his entire outfit! I like his accessories too, nothing like a guy who knows how to add a little umph to his outfit!.
I know …. rules are meant to be broken. But wearing suspenders AND a belt is like wearing a bowler AND a baseballcap. For me this leads nowhere. A dead end end indeed.
Agree-the belt is overkill and unnecessary. What’s the saying, “Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and remove one thing.” Should have done so here. Otherwise, a great look.
Keino Benjamin is the only one that can pulled off suspenders with a belt. Depends on what type of belt and suspenders. He got the right Kiel James Patrick Croffix belt and Diesel denim suspenders and connected them great. Get with it guys. Creativity speak for itself !!!!!
oh gosh. enough with the championing of fashion dogma! so he’s wearing a belt and suspenders – and pulling it off better than somebody in an ironed everything with a matching everything and a shiny everything. you think he doesn’t know that rule? didn’t look it square in the face before blowing it to smithereens?
HE. LOOKS. AWESOME.

Lose the belt! Suspenders with a belt cross the line from useful aestheticism to aesthetic silliness. Love the rest of it.
