Some of the biggest conversations in the world in recent times have been about inflation and the rising standard of living. Literally every day, the price of daily necessities keeps hitting all-time highs and when it feels it has become too expensive, it reveals that it is only just beginning.
As a result of the way these prices have been changing like breakup emotions in recent times, one can not but wonder if steeze is even still possible in this economy.
If you’ve been having these thoughts, well, you are not alone. The average Nigerian is daily in a heated battle to keep their steeze, just like you. However, there is a good news. You can maintain your steeze without breaking your pocket in this economy! Here are a few tips to get you started.
TIPS TO KEEP YOUR STEEZE IN THIS ECONOMY
1. A Good Haircut
Never, I repeat, “Never underestimate the power of a good haircut.”
Aside from benefits such as better scalp circulation, promoting hair growth and just generally keeping your hair healthy, a good haircut also eliminates untidy appearance, accentuates your features and keeps you looking fresh always. A good haircut, on a guy, carries the equivalent of a full makeover session for a female. So if you haven’t visited your barber in a while, today is a good day to do so.
2. Shower and Shave
A good shower means a clean skin. It takes away grime, sweat and dead skin cells off of you. It is therefore a no-brainer that showers should be taken regularly. More so, showers help with stress management by elevating the overall mood. So perhaps the next time stress is dampening your steeze, that weekend vacation may be outside your budget, but a shower most definitely isn’t.
And while you’re at it, just shave too would you?

3. Ironed Outfits
Imagine watching an interview of a prominent politician and their outfit is rumpled. Whilst the consequences might be less costly for you, the impression you leave is equally as terrible. Believe it or not, the presence or absence of creases on your outfit impacts the perception of others towards you — your steeze. If a dry cleaner might break the bank in this economy, just pick that iron up and do your steeze a favour; straighten those creases.
4. Deodourant
This is self-explanatory. Deodorant makes you smell nice and leaves a good impression in the mind of anyone walking past you and what better way to elevate your steeze than to announce it from a mile away?
5. Shoes
Having a good pair of shoes is an absolute necessity. Why is this important? You might ask. Failing here is equal to failing all around. You wouldn’t want to have kept your steeze from your hair (literally) and then have your feet looking like a total disaster! So you need a pair of shoes that complements your efforts and takes your ‘gentlemanliness’ to a whole new level. The concern here becomes the cost. However, KARPOS offers a wide range of befitting shoes that prioritise luxury, elegance and comfort without breaking your pocket. To check out our variety of options, just click here
