• Actor and filmmaker Yomi Black has opened up on what influences his fashion preferences and his decision to follow trends
• In an interview with Legit.ng, he also spoke about his most expensive fashion accessory
• He further revealed how he likes to keep his hair while noting that maintaining long hair is quite expensive

Nollywood actor and filmmaker Yomi Black disclosed that the way he dresses is influenced by pop culture, red-carpet events, and what he reads in local and international magazines.

In an interview with Legit.ng, he also revealed that though he doesn't like to disclose the price of his fashion items, his wristwatches are expensive, among other issues.

Trends influence Yomi's fashion style

Speaking on what influences his sense of fashion, the actor, who was once dragged by media personality Toke Makinwa for questioning the source of her lifestyle, said:

"It is mostly influenced by what is happening around pop culture, especially when one looks at red carpet events, movie premieres, and what people are wearing on social media. There are also some fashion magazines with reputable fashion trends both globally and locally. They influence my fashion style."

Asked about celebrities repeating clothes, the actor said clothes are expensive, so it would be difficult to wear a different dress every day for 365 days. He also disclosed that his most expensive fashion accessories were his wristwatches.

"I think what some celebs meant is not repeating clothes at public events but when one is going to the store or visiting friends in the neighborhood, clothes will be repeated. It is pretty expensive to wear one outfit a day. That is 365 outfits in a year. In terms of expensive fashion accessories, I will say they are my wristwatches."

What Yomi thinks about keeping long hair

According to the movie star, he has a lot of hair and doesn't have any plans of braiding it. He said:

"I have a lot of hair but I don't know if it can be described as long because I don't braid it. It is like an afro. I don't see anything wrong with men keeping long hair. I think it depends on one's taste and choice. That is if the person can keep it long and tidy because it is quite expensive to maintain long hair."

Speaking about fashion trends, Yomi said there's no item he cannot wear as an entertainer.

"The question I ask myself if it fits me. If I think, I will say that I am not deeply into using shoes. I am pretty much okay with other fashion trends."

Yomi Black lends opinion on politics

Legit.ng earlier reported that Yomi was not sure that one of the popular presidential aspirants, Peter Obi, would get into power with his strategy.

According to the filmmaker, Obi's ambition is being fueled by the delusion of social media, a mistake other popular people made in the past.

Black also added that as a filmmaker, he learnt that audience reaction is easy to predict once the content is free without stress.
