Fellas, Tired of a Bland Carnival Monday? Make some Male Monday wear!
For years I have hit the road on carnival monday, content to wear just some abs, a pair of shorts and a smile. Well, my carnival chat is awash with female monday wear option that look great for the ladies.
What about us men?!
I want to wear something more than just a tight shorts. I want to have a little bit of (manly) carnival fashion.
What are our options?
Several brand name companies in Trinidad have male Monday wear for sale, including
And
But what if you want your own unique design.
Well, you could pay a designer to do a ting for you …….OR do it yourself.
My plan is to find appropriate shorts and match it to carnival appropriate accessories for a colourful manly carnival look.
Shorts
My preference is either 4 way stretch material or light and thin running shorts material. Both are light and cool and dry quickly, allowing sweat to wick off and keeping you dry. MY personal preference is 3″ inseam cause I suffer too much on legs day to hide them with long shorts. Its also WAY better to have zippered pockets
The challenge is to find a nice colourful pair on popular sites like Express or on Amazon etc.
Accessories
Next is to find something to compliment those shorts. By far the easiest item will be some sort of necklace. Something smooth that won’t scratch or irritate your skin. And with all the colours to match the rest of your ensemble.
All it takes is a little bit of effort.
