Fashion Rules Every Nigerian Fashion Designer Have Broken

If there's one thing that fashion's pretty famous for, it's the long list of supposed dos and don'ts. Never wear with this. Ditch the horizontal stripes. Make sure everything matches perfectly. It can be stressful, to say the least, sucking the fun out of expressions.

Fashion rules are meant to be followed and taken seriously, but there are always exemptions because, rules are made for people and not people for rule.

A lot of these rules have been broken by every Nigerian Fashion Designer

Don’t mix different prints and patterns. Wearing patterns within the same color palette, but of different sizes is the perfect way to show people you’re fashionable. It can also look extremely fresh, and elevate your look from ordinary to street-style ready in no time

Don’t wear black and blue together. Most people are too scared to wear this color-combo, guaranteeing you’ll stand out from the crowd if you try it, but not fashion designers in Nigeria

Don’t wear heels if you’re tall. This mandate isn't only silly, but a little sexist, too. Stemming from a whole bunch of antiquated notions including abundant height isn't feminine, and a woman shouldn't draw extra attention to herself, this rule is one no woman should ever follow if they don’t want to. We know plenty of women who are almost six feet tall and still rock three-inch heels with grace (and we’re jealous.) and heels are graciously transformative and completely change the way you carry yourself.  

Don’t match your shoes and your handbag. Matching both actually makes you look put together with minimal effort.

Dress for the job you want, not the job you have. If your job doesn't require you to wear a suit every day, don’t. Feel free to show your personality!

Wear what makes you feel awesome!

Few Fashion Advice for Guys

Young men are the future leaders of society, and dressing sharp is the first step towards becoming professional in your sphere. A lot of young men are starting their professional lives without a clue as to how to dress. This needs to change

Clearly, clothes may not make the man, but the right clothing can give a young man precious seconds to make his case and influence people.

Let’s get few fashionable advices for guys

Bad Fit Is An Epidemic: Crisp, clean, and well fitted clothing encourages others to take you more seriously. The most basic improvement you can make in your style is to make sure everything fits impeccably. What you wear should almost hug the shape of your body; without being tight. 

Have at Least One Good Suit in the Closet:  No matter what your job is, you’re going to need a decent suit at some point.

Build from White, Blue and Black Shirts: White, black and light blue shirts are the backbone to a sharp wardrobe.  This is basically because these colors make approximately 90% of the shirts sold anywhere. Either of these colors looks good on most skin tone and body types as well.

Take Care of Your Clothing: Being young means having less money to throw around.  If you've strained out for a few pieces of good, quality clothing - a made to measure suit, a pair of expensive dress shoes, well sewn native senator wear, or native casual wears made by one of the professional fashion designers we have in Nigeria, or what have you, it’s worth a few bucks more to keep the clothes in good shape.

Never stay Under-dressed: Yeah right! Don’t overdo it, but dare to take some risks. It’s always better to be a little bit overdressed than under-dressed in any setting. All you have to do is think about where and who you’re going to be with and just step it up one bit. But make sure you’re not better dressed than someone who is more important in a certain setting.

Disregard trends: Beware of buying something just because it’s in vogue, stick to what you truly like.

Never underestimate the power of details: The last thing on is usually the first thing noticed.  

Continually cultivate your image: Invest more time and money into your image. Cultivate your fashion sense. Your style is a huge mode of communication, and is worth caring for as much as your education, career, and relationships. 

Staying Attractive With Your Dressing (GUYS)

Looking attractive begins with developing an everyday routine to maintain the health of your skin, hair, smile, and overall body, and radiate confidence through your posture and body language. 

Wear clean clothes that fit you well. 

As they say, the clothes make the man! You don't have to wear expensive items to be attractive, but your clothing can communicate a lot about you.

Always dress well. Yes, every single morning! Even when dressing casually for an ordinary day, don't just throw on whatever you have lying around. Select clothes that match and that suit what you'll be doing.

#BLACKATTITUDE

Develop friendship with a good fashion designer; this is important when you want to buy clothes or sew new clothes. You probably can't tell what looks good on you, what celebrities have modeled to become the in-thing, may not be a good fit for you. But, because the primary focus of a good fashion designer is clothes and how best it can be used, he will guide you to make a perfect choice.

Wear clothes that fit well. It’s not the amount of clothes that gives the fitting every guy aspires, less expensive clothes that fit look much better than expensive clothes that don't!
Don't try to hide your body. Whether you're embarrassed about being too large or too skinny, trying to cover it up with baggy clothing only makes you look worse.

Get rid of old clothes. You might love that old T-shirt from college, but it probably doesn't fit well anymore. Clothes and your body change size and shape over time. Even if they still fit, clothes that are more than two or three years old are probably starting to look tired or out of fashion.

Figure out which colors look good on you. The right color will make your skin look awesome, while the wrong one can make it look washed out and sallow.

Stock your wardrobe with timeless basics. These pieces shouldn't fall out of style too quickly, and they should be made of quality materials that will last a few years. Pick up items such as black native casual, black native senator wears, shirts these will remain timeless in Nigeria but we have a few fashion designers in Nigeria who can make native casual or native senator wears with perfect fit and finishing. Check the likes of Mudi Africa, Dr. Legendclothing Yomi Casuals and a few others. You'll always be able to put together a presentable outfit from these places.

Do laundry regularly. Some items of clothing can stand to go through several wears before they're dirty such as suits, jackets or pants, but shirts, underwear, and socks can only stand one wear before they need to be washed. Set up a regular schedule for doing laundry so that you don't spend the morning scrambling for something clean.

Getting on Her Radar With Dressing

Having a crush can be intriguing but frustrating when you feel like they don’t even know you exist! While there’s no secret formula to getting your crush’s attention, there are certain things that you can do to make sure you get on her radar. First and foremost you should put your best possible self out there. Look your best, be active, positive and project confidence.

To Get on Her Radar

Choose a shirt. Make sure to choose a shirt that flatters your body shape. 

Choose a pair of pants. Try something that doesn't make you look too big or small. Never try pants that are too, too tight. 

Choose a pair of shoes. Shoes are a must with style. Have shoes that are comfortable and look great too. Make sure that your shoes are appropriate to your activity.

Dress to Impress

It is a misconception that men can't be stylish. Today there are many different styles for men to wear.  Business casual, formal suit, Ankara prints,native- senator wear, shirts, smart native casual etc. Wearing clothing that is your style, flattering, and fits you well, will give you confidence. Impressing women with the way you dress is about finding your style and putting it together well!

Choose the colors you wear carefully. If you wear the correct colors for your skin tone, you will accentuate your good looks, whereas, wearing the wrong colors will be unflattering. As a rule, bright red, pale pink, teal, and eggplant, look good on all skin types.

Be the best dressed guy in the room. Always consider the context of where you are going when you are dressing, but err on the side of overdressing rather than under dressing.

When you care about how you look it shows, so be proud! Women will appreciate your care and will respect you more for it.

FASHION TIPS FOR DARK SKIN MEN

Guys who have black skin tone usually feel that they have a very less options of styling, which is an absolute misconception. Well ok, dark skin guys need less efforts to make them appear great. However, paying a close attention to your skin tone and what fits you, leave a great impression on you even though you are surrounded by bunch of men.

Check out stylish cues that can give you a refreshing style.

No to White

The very first tip black men need to get is never go with the colors like white shirt or suit, it display you darker than what you are. Whereas few colors like light green and light yellow or lemon yellow matches perfect on your dark skin tone.

Go with light colors

Though you have the interest with striking and glittering socks types, colors such as black, navy blue and dark brown gives you optimum look in the formal attire. Remember to wear light shades of blue or beige if you are getting ready with casual wears.

Do Wonder With Formal

Formal suits and shirts look great for dark skinned guys. It looks professional and at the same time, adds a commanding attitude to your attire. One thing you have to be careful with the formals is the color combinations you choose for your tie and socks. Many people who wear formals miss out the right combination of formal attire. Hence take care in choosing the right type of tie and socks to your suit.

Always Moisturize

Moisturizer is very much essential for dark skinned guys as dark toned skin suffers from dryness problem. It prevents your skin from aging, and forms a protective layer against harmful bacteria’s and dust.

Sexy Beard for Black Men

Earlier beards were only for guys to express their sadness or failures. These days, it is so over that. The classic beard is one of the most common and popular type for dark skinned ones. Moustache Beard is another popular trend developed these days. This gives a rugged look to your face. You get an inbuilt cool attitude behavior if you are to try out this type of style.

What Nigerian Celebrity Slayers Thinks About Make Up

Think guys don't care about makeup? Think again. They may not know much about it or understand exactly how it gets applied, that's fine, we don't expect them to. But they definitely have an opinion when it comes to how much of it you should be wearing.

If you have ever wondered what men really think about women’s makeup, then wonder no more. Lets judge with what Male Nigerian Celebrities think about make up.

These celebrities are perceived to be wild and are known to use extreme make up girls for their videos, yet they have this to say about make up.

Many bloggers think Don Jazzy is ugly, I' for one don't think he is, not when you catch him in a nicely fitted blue suit. Thump up sir. About make up " i think a lot of makeup actually makes women look worse"

    D'prince, with his "six pack" show off, though uncalled for, has this to say about make up. "You don't want to overdo it, if you don't exude beauty from within, no amount of make up will be able to cover it up.

                                                                                             

 

D coco master, D'banj, an entertainer to the core. With all his here and there lifestyle, don't think he doesn't notice. His thoughts "I love seeing ladies in make up, but not heavy amount of it. Let it only highlight your natural beauty not change you to something you are not" 

I must give it up for the fashion designer who made this suit. Your look cute in that black flowered suit.

This is another suit i admire here, i bet they were all made by Nigerian fashion designers. Olamide  is another your celebrity that many girls can kill to get his attention. His thoughs " I prefer it simple and sexy, no man want kiss a clown" 

 Iyanya, with all his tattoo, still have his opinion about make up. I am not a fan of tattoo but i will report guys reports on make up " make up should enhance natural beauty not defile it. Less is more" 

I am the last person to suggest that any woman change herself for a man, especially when it comes to our appearance, but these findings are to help give women the confidence to pare back the amount of make up they wear and let their own natural radiance shine through

No-makeup makeup” is a beauty technique people use to give their face the natural appearance of looking like they’re not wearing makeup even though they are, in fact, wearing makeup. Try this technique and see your man fall in love all over or even more.

Runway Fashion Can Be Hilarious

Are fashion shows actually meant to represent clothes people wear? Or is it more about what this designer can do, and challenging the status quo, etc., things like that? Because so many items are so unpractical and actually quite ugly and ridiculous in real life

 Wow! Can this fashion designer claim that the devil made him do this? I couldn't look at this twice. I wonder how many Nigerian fashion designers can make something like for fashion runway.

I often see pictures from runway shows where the garments look uncomfortable, impractical, and horrendously ugly, and this is just one of them.

 No way! hmmmmm at least no one will ask if she brought bodyguard, because sure she did. Whats this cage doing behind the supposed wedding gown. i wonder the kind of suit the groom will have to wear after seeing this.

 Oh I see, such a befitting suit for the groom. Really? what is this fashion designer thinking?

I just don't have words to describe this masquerade of a hard-work. Fashion designers can be cruel sometimes. What is this person thinking?

Hideous Outfits.

Fashion designers capture our imaginations and inspire us each season with beautiful collections that make us want to get side jobs so we can afford the looks we covet most. But as it goes in fashion, sometimes designers create a hit and other times it’s a total miss. Today, we’re giving a little recognition to hideous outfits worn by Nigerian Celebrities.

He unfortunately looks like a character from a horror flick. Ghostly. Under no circumstances in this universe or one far, far away is it okay for a full-grown man to wear a female full-body fancy suit. There is no reason to blind onlookers with such an atrocious outfit

What is this? If we didn't know better, we could mistake her as the mother of piranha plants, and that would make sense.  This is another dress which I fail to comprehend the rationale behind the selection. 

There are 10 things i hate about this outfit. Its hideous x10

Eniola Badmus want to remember this day for life, unfortunately we don't.
