HNOWStyleCrush: The Debonaire Douchebags

The Debonaire Douchebags are a collective of gentlemen who carry the responsibility of staying at the top of their game whether it's education, entrepreneurship, culture and most recently – fatherhood! Thankfully for us, The Douchebags are also masters of style.

I met The Douchebags and photographer, T ayo K uku at the Blew Smoke Cigar Room, a black-owned smoke shop in Brooklyn, New York. Travis, Sam, Marcus, and Jelani blessed me with a few tips for every mans wardrobe during my behind the scenes peek at their annual fall photoshoot. This years theme was inspired by the "Resevoir Dogs" film and The Beatles' iconic "Abbey Road" album.

HNOW: Style rules every man should follow:

1. No douchebag's shirt should be the same color as his tie or pocket square, however his tie and socks should match and/or compliment each other.

2. Every douchebag should own suits in blue, black, and grey.

3. Douchebags should own a white collared shirt along with a blue. Never invest in a colored collared shirt nor should one's shirt ever be darker than his tie.

Travis founded the Debonaire Douchebags and introduced their annual summertime social mixer, Blowing O's.With inspiration from of Diddy's "Luck Be A Lady" Ciroc ad, Travis successfully created an enviroment for a "few Rihanna's and a couple Diddys" to flourish for the past 3 summers in New York City. In 2016, Travis also produced season one of "Cigar and Whiskey Talk", a talk series where "no topic is off limits".
