Derek's been one of my biggest supporters for years.
How's he going to take it when he learns I developed an athleisure addiction and dress like a sombre goth?
Help me; I'm frightened.

Dressing well was also not limited to the rich and famous. A reader sent me pics of his grandpa, born in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) to a working-class Chinese family. He immigrated to London and then Canada, where he worked in an auto parts store and by installing light fixtures.

I want to first dispel some myths.
Contrary to popular belief, people didn't look better because they were slimmer. We see many corpulent men in the past who dressed better than the average man today. It's not true you can look good in anything if you have an athletic body.

Personally, I think it's more interesting to shop from skilled, independent artisans who make things the old way. Many represent a dying breed of craftspeople who have turned their back on machines. Not only are their products more affordable, they're higher quality.

#WhatsTrending: On April 14, 2025, Nigeria submitted its ECOWAS Tariff Offer at an #AfCFTA meeting in Kinshasa, DRC. The country pledged to remove import duties on 90% of African goods. Backed by President Tinubu, this move signals a deeper push into intra-African trade, but success hinges on reducing non-tariff barriers and energy inclusion.

9. He was asked why he allowed blessings for same-sex couples.
Watch how he answered:
Not with judgment.
