Tuks law students seem to be leading the on-campus fashion game! This week PDBY spotted not one but two super stylish and fashion-forward law students that both seem to have mastered the art of looking effortlessly cool.
Unami Ngcobo
Meet Unami: a law student, poet and fashion creative. Unami has been seen flaunting some of the hottest campus looks that are attuned to his personality and daily moods. What sets him apart is his ability to merge different styles and pieces with ease to curate ensembles that are truly visually appealing.
Unami is inspired by some well-known artists like A$AP Rocky and Tyler the Creator, but he also pays homage to his fashionable friends back in Durban. Drawing inspiration from the above creatives, Unami rummages for clothing at thrift stores, hoping to add some more pieces to his “street wear with a huge dose of Grandpa” swag. In his eyes, a white tee is a “simple yet pivotal” item of clothing that everyone needs multiple of.
Unami’s style knows no boundaries and he plays by no rules… except for the one rule passed down from his mother: “Always wear a vest under a shirt!”

Dina
Next up is Dina, whose cute style and whimsical accessories immediately caught PDBY’s attention! Dina loves to stand out and is heavily influenced by the flamboyant styles of gyaru and well-known K-pop artists. The creative styles of the South Korean music group WJSN sits at the back of their mind whilst hunting down preloved gems all over Johannesburg. Dina never looks to just be average and is super keen on throwing on a pair or leg warmers to add some spice and to neatly tie their ensembles together.
This week we caught them in a pink outfit that was purely a work of art. Big fluffy leg warmers, a cute mini skirt and, yes, bunny ears, all tied together to create an alternative fashion ensemble that is barely seen on campus. The head-turning outfit was balanced with white accents on the belt, and their chunky platform shoes finished off a look that was Pinterest worthy! This ensemble exuded a creative but relaxed energy.
Dina’s beloved show Adventure Time also serves as their inspiration when cultivating outfits. They love the colour palette and accessories worn by the characters and often look for ways to replicate the styles with their own twist. When it comes to shopping, Dina’s best friend is AliExpress. It is the perfect platform for them to find versatile pieces to add to an already unique wardrobe.
