XL’s Featured Tribesmen Of The Week Rahsaan Donald

1. What are your biggest fashion obstacles?

Finding clothing that doesn’t wear me………(just because it’s on doesn’t mean it looks good) ….Everyone doesn’t have the same body type …..so what may look good on someone else may not work for me……..So I have to try on multiple sizes and styles until I achieve the look I wear well …..not the look that wears me.

2. Where are you from and what are biggest fashion trends in your city?

I am from Saint Louis, Missouri (The Show Me State) aka “Da Lou” …A few of the biggest fashion trends that I see in “Da Lou” are the “Vintage” look and the “Classicman” look.

3. Tell us about your biggest fashion nightmare and if it came true do explain. (attach a picture if you can)

I’m can’t really say I have had a fashion nightmare…..(laughing)….. because I am so conscious of what I put on……. but this is how I think….when you are apart of “XL Tribe ” you stand out and your very presence will command attention…..with that in mind….This is the question that poses: “Do I want people to remember me as sloppy dude or a well put together dude?

4. What are some of your biggest style inspirations?

I’ve coined my style as the “flashy conservative” look…….So a lot of my styles are inspired by Burberry, Banana Republic, Calvin Klein, David Britton, Buffalo……these brands have the neat conservative look I go for but can also be flashy or on the edgy side.

5.Where do you see yourself in five years and how do you see yourself accomplishing it?

Potentially owning a men’s clothing store catering to the “XL Tribe” …..My sister has owned a women’s boutique in Saint Louis for the past 6 years and I’ve worked closely with her on this journey where I believe she has the knowledge and experience to help me get this venture off the ground and be successful doing it.
