Zim Jam Signal - These guys have swag |
Who are the best dressers in the Zimbabwe music industry? Between Sungura, Dancehall, Hip Hop and other music types, which group has the best dressing artists? Which Zim musicians have swag?
If you have observed the dressing style
across music genres in Zimbabwe, you will notice a specific pattern among
various artists. Normally, the dressing style is associated with the type of
music that the artist sings, for example Rappers may wear bling bling (big
chain necklaces, gold teeth), baggy jeans, hoodies, sneakers, basketball
shirts, sports jackets, track suits and orange prison garb. Regardless of the
music background, there always will be artists who dress better than the other.
These are artists with swag and style, the trend setters. There are music
genres where artists are known to have a good fashion sense and categories
which have some of the worst dressers.
In Zimbabwe, the most popular types of
music are Sungura, Dancehall, Hip Hop, Urban, House, Afro Soul and Pentecostal Gospel
music.
Without a doubt, Sungura music has one of
the best dressers in the country, thanks to the smart and dapper Simon Chimbetu
(Mr Viscose), who always had a large collection of suits and shoes in his wardrobe.
His influence can be seen in some of the succeeding generation of Sungura
singers. Like the Transporter (a famous movie), Sungura artists such as Leonard
Karikoga Zhakata and Sulumani Chimbetu are always looking good, clean shaven
and sharp in high quality suits.

Not to be outdone are Afro Soul /Urban/Pop,
RnB and House singers. The likes of Zim Jam Signal, Ammara Brown and Tytan know
a thing or two about swag. These guys always look presentable for a red carpet
photo shoot.
The Gospel music genre, especially the
Pentecostal groups have smart and presentable dressers among them. This
includes Fungisai Zvakavapano, Pastor Mahendere and Zimpraise. Fungisai
Zvakavapano is an outstanding fashion diva.
Zim Rappers and Hip Hop artists are
supposed to be up there in the swag game, but a lot of them are so disappointing.
If you know smart and stylish Hip Hop artists such as Pharrell Williams, DJ
Khaled, Nelly, Tyga and LL Cool J, then you will realize that Zim rappers have
a long way to go in terms of swag appeal.
A lot of Zim Dancehall artists, as expected,
do not dress to impress, and therefore they are at the bottom of the list. They
are not into swag or style, preferring the robe and ghetto attire instead. Winky
D is one Dancehall artist who tries his best to look good and stylishly
different from other artists with his colourful and matched signature costumes.
In this age, there is no reason for Zim Dancehall musicians to dress like the Taliban
or average man in the streets. Some of the greatest Jamaican Dancehall artists
such as Sean Paul and Shabba Ranks had style and swag.

They say pictures speak louder than words.
Here are some of the best dressed musicians in Zimbabwe, who always raise the
standard. Judge for yourself, but these artists make it a point to look good on
