Jordanian content creator (and our everyday #ManCrushMonday) Khaleel Aqrabawi is the ultimate Arab male fashion ~ muse ~ on social media. He wasn’t wrong when writing ‘dressed to kill’ in his bio, because once you take a look at the K’s ‘fits, your heart may in fact burst out of your chest. So stalk with fair warning.
Cosmo ME: Who’s your fashion muse?
Khaleel Aqrabawi: I don’t know if I have a fashion muse. But, my brother is the one that got me interested in enhancing my fashion sense!
C: What is your favourite TikTok video you’ve ever made?
K: One of my most recent ones, it’s not the most popular, but it’s very wholesome and was pretty fun to make. It’s the one with the curly hair maintenance with Miki Matsubara playing in the background.
