The
prevailing fashion trend in Nigeria is flamboyant, stylish and glam.
Fashionistas take all necessary measures to look sophisticated even
though they have to go overboard sometimes. This fierce fashion
onslaught has led to the innovation of all sorts of alluring and
glamorous fashion trends some of which are extremely sensual. If any of
this insatiable fashion craze was displayed in the past, it will be
frowned at. Of course, youths are avant-garde as
get exposed daily to western culture and embrace western values which
is always at odds with the conservative virtues of morality and decency
in Nigeria.
As
a matter of fact, these fashion trends are perceived as a symbol of
sexiness in total disregard for the statement, “You dress the way you
want to be addressed.”
Without
singling out any gender, Jovago.com, Africa’s No 1 hotel booking portal
identify some of these fashion trends that will be unacceptable in the
80s’. Besides, you should not travel to your country home adorning any
of these fashion vogues.
Ripped Jeans
Whatever
you call it ripped, slashed or distressed jeans, it is in vogue. You
observe men and women adorning these jeans on the streets of Lagos with pride.
The fever is catching on. But, if you dare attempt to adorn such
clothing in the past wherever you go, they will consider the wearer
‘mad’. Even the disgustful facade they will give will probably embarrass
you. Today, you can get away with this.
Sagging
Those
who sag are prison inmates in the United states of America. Despite
this distasteful history of sagging, many fashionistas have embraced it.
It is now common to see artists, celebrities and young Nigerians sag
their trousers. Sagging is positioning your trousers below the waistline
to show off your undies. You can only imagine what you will see when a
woman sags!
Mini Skirt
It
was common in the past for women to wear a skirt that are above their
knees. This style may not be attractive but it was more of morality than
fashion. This may be the reason why they do not sport trousers. But,
fashion changed everything…. welcome to the world of Mini Skirts! The
mini skirt is usually above the knee. ‘The shorter, the sexier.’ But
some women take it too far as it becomes provocative.
Creative hairstyling
Gone
are the days when you simply cut or plait your hair in a conventional
and reserve style. Absolutely at odds with the past, many people
manipulate their hair in various exciting ways. For the men, they can
draw various patterns on their heads and for the women they can plait a
particular section while leaving other parts. Don’t be surprised, It is
creativity at its best!
