Davido turns a simple walk down the street into runway-level monochrome style. He wears an all-white striped relaxed suit with a loose shirt, matching tie and wide-leg trousers, styled with a bucket hat, chunky sandals and an oversized tote bag. It’s part retro, part luxury tourist and completely effortless.
Why This Outfit Works
- Monochrome keeps it clean: Sticking to a full white palette (with subtle stripes) makes the whole look feel intentional and fashion-forward, even with casual pieces like sandals.
- Relaxed tailoring feels modern: The wide-leg trousers and easy-fit shirt give movement and comfort instead of stiff, formal suit energy.
- Tie without a blazer = cool twist: Wearing a tie casually with no jacket plays with dress codes and gives a "fashion-editor off duty” vibe.
- Bucket hat adds personality: The soft hat breaks up the suit idea and leans into streetwear culture while still matching the colour story.
- Oversized tote is the power accessory: The large bag screams “artist on the move” and feels more stylish than a regular backpack.
- Sandals ground the look: Open-toe sandals keep things relaxed and believable for a day-time city moment.
Colour Story
Everything revolves around crisp white with subtle tonal stripes running through the shirt and trousers. Because it’s shot in black and white, the textures and lines do a lot of the work — the stripes, creases and fabric weight stand out. Accessories (hat, sandals, tote) are kept in the same light tone so the look reads as one long, clean silhouette.
Outfit Breakdown
- White Striped Shirt: Long-sleeve button-down in a lightweight fabric with fine vertical stripes and a relaxed fit.
- Matching White Tie: Simple tie in coordinating fabric that keeps the look playful but still nods to suiting.
- Wide-Leg Striped Trousers: High-rise, loose trousers with the same pinstripe effect, pooling slightly over the sandals for that updated 70s feel.
- White Bucket Hat: Soft, casual hat that frames the face and adds texture on top.
- Oversized Tote Bag: Structured, likely leather tote in a light tone with top handles — practical but very fashion.
- Sandals & Accessories: Open sandals and Davido’s signature jewellery stack (watch, bracelets, rings) to add shine and personality.
Stylist's Note
This look is a masterclass in how to wear all-white without looking like you're going to an all-white party. The trick is relaxed tailoring, playful accessories and interesting textures. Swap formal dress shoes for sandals or sneakers, add a hat or statement bag, and keep jewellery layered but not overwhelming. If you're nervous about pure white, start with cream or off-white and build from there.

Recreate The Look
Look for a white or cream striped shirt and wide-leg trousers, ideally sold as a set or in similar fabrics. Add a simple tie in the same colour, a bucket hat in white or beige, and an oversized tote or weekender bag. Finish with sandals or clean white trainers and a few pieces of jewellery. You’ll get that easy Davido street-style energy without needing a full suit.
