A Day With Champion SuperSport Commentator Phumudzo Manenzhe
Hosting a sports show on one of South Africa’s most prominent sporting TV channels requires a balance between hard work, passion for the game, and killer style! In collaboration with top notch commentator Phumudzo Manenzhe, John Craig has officially launched ‘Diary Of A Gentleman’ in a truly sophisticated manner by a truly sophisticated, style savvy gentleman.
“I love fashion and sport because I love life, and life has a little bit of both in it.” – Unknown.
It’s not every day you get to meet one of South Africa’s boldest sports commentators. And it’s most certainly not every day you get to witness what goes into styling a look that earns accolades by this World Class presenter! We are impressed, just as we know you will be too. Watch what it takes to dress the gentleman look that ties in perfectly with the sports commentators role and a day in his work life!
Diary Of A Gentleman – Style by Phumudzo
The stylish and sophisticated Phumudzo was gracious enough to visit our John Craig store in South Gate to show us just how we would put together his look in our new series, Diary Of A Gentleman. His knowledge and dress sense were effortless when he presented to us, and you, his ensemble and just how he dresses for his show, being the icon, he is both on and off the set!
Look 1 – Day at the SuperSport Studio
Classic and sophisticated was the name of the game with this ‘Diary Of A Gentleman’ mission. The Polo Bradley Travel Suit in black is perfect for men and adorned the athletic frame of Phumudzo. The suit lends an air of classic sophistication to an already uber stylish gentleman. The Polo Bradley Travel Suit is custom fitted, button cuffed, with functional flap pockets, and is available in both Navy and Black.
The Shoes
The Pierre Cardin Lace Up Men’s Sneaker in white gum perfectly sets off the dark Polo Bradley Travel suit and gives the outfit a casually elegant look while emphasising a touch of modern flair. This casual leather sneaker is clean, simple, and comfortable, it’s silhouette lends itself to many styles and occasions.
