I love seeing guys open to experimenting with various styles of clothing and having appreciation for the cultivation of a great sense of style. If a man can put continuously put together a dope ‘fit, pull it off with ease + a signature flair, and not lean solely onto the hypebeast trends of the moment, he has my instant respect!

Enter Micah Davis—generally known by his stage name Masego. The Lady Lady artist’s style is as smooth and lavish as his signature sonic sound. ​​

​He credits designers like Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen and Gucci as a few of his favorites. He loves the 1970s vibe that Gucci has, and the influence is extremely present in his style of dress. Whether he's being styled for a shoot or pulling together looks for an appearance or performance, there is a distinct energy about him that radiates through. He exudes an aura that is fun and lighthearted, carefree, electric, positive and dynamic. There's a cool confidence about him that I absolutely love.

While the "Tadow" singer has a handle on his signature style and can dress the way he wants to, there were a few moments of clarity he experienced before truly developing his fashion ethos. In an interview with Vogue, he shared that he used to dress like an "old man," and that he "always looked like he was about to take a nap." He goes on to say, "I thought I was cool until I left the country. I went to Tokyo, and I was like 'man, why am I wearing these jorts?' I've always loved fashion, but when you're broke, you're wearing whatever your dad gave you." A true and dedicated creative, when presented with a choice between style and music, of course music was his first priority. It was up until he began dating who he describes as "one of those Fashion Week every week women" and wanted to match her energy that his style began to blossomed and take form. 

Nowadays, the "Trap House Jazz" musician has traded in his old man garb of yesteryear for billowing silk tops in a wide range of colors and motifs, leather jackets, immaculately patterned ensembles, dope sets of vintage rings, perfectly fitting pairs of trousers (his personal favorites are by Vivienne Westwood), unique pairs of sunglasses, his signature saxophone chain and so many more elements that make up his fawn-worthy and aesthetically pleasing method of dress. A true style chameleon, and I’m honestly just here to stan. "There's an upper echelon to my style but not in a belittling way. 'Cause I'm hood. I'm from the hood. I love there being a grit to it."

Throughout his sartorial journey, the hip hop + jazz multi-instrumentalist learned that a great outfit comes together when you know how to pair things, putting them together with taste, more so than just rocking the trendiest pieces. And, of course, the statement piece here and there is always a necessary touch. He's a fan of mixing consignment finds with designer pieces, as a well-executed high-low look is never not a good idea. Dope one-of-a-kind finds really make a look hit differently!
Whew! A man after my fashion-obsessed heart! Uncle Sego can definitely teach the guys a thing or two. And he can serenade me with his saxophone playing anytime!
