    MYSTYLE | Conor Maynard

    We caught up with pop prince Conor to find out why boxers are his go to fashion statement at home and why it’s all about Nandos.

    Connor Maynard

    HIS WATCH: Never wear watches!
    HIS AFTERSHAVE: Used to always be Hugo boss, but I haven’t worn an aftershave in years! I prefer the natural scent… joking, I just can’t be bothered half the time (laughs).
    HIS CLOTHING:
    1) Uptown: Spencer Hart, their suits and shirts are so unique.
    2) Downtown: Too many to name! Adidas shoes are the one for me right now, although I just tend to like particular pieces of clothing as opposed to sticking with a single brand.
    3) Mytown: any mildly clean pair of boxers I can find and some sweatpants.
    HIS ACCESSORIES: Phone, my lucky bracelets (stared wearing them just before my first ever singles were released) and my house keys because I like to be able to get back into my house at the end of a day.
    HIS DRINK: Disaronno and Coke (me and my friends call it a “dizzy Coke”)
    HIS RESTAURANT: Nandos, because I’m the most adventurous, out-there guy you’ll ever meet.
    HIS TRAVEL: Anywhere with good people.
    HIS BOOK: A Series Of Unfortunate Events, read the whole series twice!
    HIS SONGS: Changes every day! Right now: John Mayer – “I Don’t Trust Myself”, Fetty Wap – “My Way” (feat. Drake), Taylor Swift – “Bad Blood”.
    HIS QUOTE TO LIVE BY: “It’s better to fail in originality, than to succeed in imitation.”
    FINISH THIS SENTENCE: Someone once told me… that quote you just read, so I took it as my own and now when I say it everyone thinks I’m really profound and a genius and it’s great!

Thomas had an interesting upbringing when his father became the subject of multiple talk shows when he came out as gay. Thomas was just 10 at the time. His father went on to become the first openly gay minister in his denomination.

    QUOTE TO LIVE BY: “We may not all break the Ten Commandments, but we are certainly all capable of it. Within us lurks the breaker of all laws, ready to spring out at the first real opportunity. Virtuous people are simply those who have either not been tempted sufficiently, because they live in a vegetative state, or because their purposes are so concentrated in one direction that they have not had the leisure to glance around them.” – Isadora Duncan, “My Life”

    UPTOWN: I don’t do much designer stuff, for stage and / or performances and videos – most of my
    out ts / costumes are custom made especially for me.

    MYTOWN: I like house parties with people I know playing music drinking champagne and cocktails and talking about fun and silly things and catching up with friends. London is so busy it’s nice to get a chance to do that. Otherwise I like beach parties when I wanna do the clubbing circuit thing.

    FAVOURITE BOOK: Friendship With God – still my favourite book and of course I am gonna plug my own book – The Memoirs of Angel King.
