Tiggs da Author

Follow him:@tiggsdaauthor

Tiggs da Author is one of the hottest new artists to emerge from London and has already rubbed shoulders with big names such as Tinie Tempah, Nines and J Hus - but he's all about embracing his own style.

He was born in Tanzania but moved to London at the age of eight and so this is reflected in his style and music - with an urban meets soul vibe. Sharp lines, distressed leather, strong headwear and an easy to wear base layer are what makes Tiggs' style so fun to try on for size.

Steal Tiggs da Author's style

• Distressed leather jacket - a leather jacket with strong shoulders and a tailored finish is a good choice but you should also look for something that appears well worn. Or you could even have a go at distressing it yourself.
• Strong hat -Tiggs da Author always finishes off his look with a statement hat - whether that's a good looking beanie for casual days or a wide brimmed fedora when performing.
• Button down shirt -you can't go wrong with a classic and this rising star understands the importance of a good tailored shirt. Opt for a darker, easy to wear colour that goes with everything.
• Black jeans - grab your fave slim denim out the wardrobe.
• Trainers - Tiggs da Author likes to finish off a polished look with a bold pair oftrainers. Go for fashion focussed styles over sports tech.

How to distress leather jackets

Here's how to distress your leather jacket to capture Tiggs da Author's style - if yours is a little too clean cut.

You will need:

• Rubbing alcohol - pick up a bottle of surgical spirit (isopropyl alcohol) from a beauty store, such as Boots or Superdrug.
• Sandpaper - this is great if you don't want to distress your leather jacket too much.
• Wire brush - this is for if you want to go to town.
• Old rag - to apply the rubbing alcohol safely to the leather.

The method:

1. Grab that rubbing alcohol and dab this on to the places you want to create the distressed look. Think elbows, collars, pockets and shoulders that come into contact with things more. Ensure the area is completely soaked.
2. Take the wire brush and start running this over where you've put the rubbing alcohol - you'll start to see it change colour. Keep rubbing until you get a colour and texture you like.
3. If you want a smoother but still distressed look use the sandpaper instead. This will stop the leather from looking too roughed up.
4. Wipe over where you've put the alcohol with water to get rid of any leftovers.

Tiggs da Author's style is the very definition of smart casual - so pair your tailored shirt with a more distressed leather jacket to nail those vibes.

• Headphones - Grab a pair of oversized headphones to wear while out and about. Play your fave tunes at all times and know you look good.

How to get space buns like Nadia Rose

Nadia's go-to hair look is two identical buns on either side of her hair and it looks incredible whatever she's wearing. Here's a quick 5-step guide on how to replicate the look:

1. Brush your hair out then part into two sections on either side of your head - aim for a semi-neat line down the back.
2. Grab one side and gather this together, pulling it to the top of your head - secure with a hair tie.
3. Twist your hair then twirl this around the hair tie to make a round bun shape and secure with hair grips - do the same on the other side.
4. Pull down two strands of hair to frame your face - Nadia likes to create plaits with these but you can leave them loose.
5. Finish with holding spray - this should stop any loose hair from sticking up and ruining the look.

How to wear a beret with confidence

If you love Nabihah's look, remember, anyone can embrace the beret but here's how to ensure yours looks as good:

• Pull on the beret and wear to the side -shimmy the beret to the side slightly and ensure plenty of material is on show.
