Why Nigerian Made Suit Is BetterThan A Foreign Suit

Foreign suit (Ready to wear) is bought off the rack, in a cut and style determined by the designer. The designer determines the style, size and specification. So as long as you are happy with the size and style, you can purchase it. Foreign suit leaves you with no option. You have no fantasy nor dream because the suit is imagined for you. 

From observations, few men are likely to possess the dimension of a foreign suit exact size. So while a suit may fit well in some areas, it may be too long, short, loose or tight in others.

Obviously, those interested in menswear will over time want to start making their own sartorial choices around cloth, cut and finishing. This brings us to Nigerian-made suit.

Fabric used in sewing a suit is ultimately only as good as its raw ingredients. Fabric selection is the most important choice you should make. Having Nigerian fashion designers or tailors in Nigeria sew your suit, will give you the privilege to decide the fabric of your choice. Not only does it determine how your suit will look and feel, but also how it will perform and last over time.

Even though there is nothing inherently wrong with a well-tailored foreign suit that people buy off the rack, it simply cannot compare to having a suit made to your specifications.

A Nigerian-made suit takes countless measurements to make sure that every aspect is created to fit your body and your shape. If you buy a suit off the peg, it has a generic shape which will often need to be altered to fit comfortable and even when it has been altered, the fit still won’t be perfect.

Most of the foreign suits are often made with far cheaper material, which wears quickly and you find yourself needing to buy new suits more frequently. The fabric used by Nigerian fashion designers and tailors in Nigeria are often e so superior in quality, that the suit ends up lasting a lot longer. When I visited a fashion designer in Nigeria, I made my choice of fabric; lining and the fashion designer also gave me aftercare guidelines on the fabrics. 

 

Think of your first visit to a Nigerian fashion House as the first step in building your new wardrobe. Start with versatile basics and slowly build out to seasonal fabrics with more personality. You can wear a solid black or blue suit to the office three times a week and nobody will notice.

Fashion and style is simply about personality and self-expression, this you can’t get with a foreign suit but a Nigerian-made suit gives you a large scope to express yourself. Have a little patient and let your suit be sewn by Nigerian fashion designers or tailors.

How dress code affects Your company Image

First impressions and overall judgments about people are formed by the way they dress. It is important that your standard of dress creates a positive impression. It is true that professionalism varies by industries, yet the relationship between the variance is strongly interwoven. 

You have to understand that no company standard of dressing is primarily designed for the employees; it is for the image of the business first. It is not the employees that pay the business; it’s the business that pays the employees.

When was the last time you saw a person in a suit struggling balance with a bus conductor or debating about any topic on the road?  When was the last time you saw a suited person sat beside a park bench eating gala and pure water? 

How we dress influences how we act. Put on a sporty, and you are more likely to argue every topic on the road. Put on a posh suit,senator-native-wear or agbada, and you are more likely to walk upright and proud. You wouldn’t be caught wiping your nose on your sleeve, or dabbing crumbs from your mouth. You wouldn’t do it because of what you were wearing. Dressing affects how we act, talk, and even how we conduct ourselves around other people. 

Even when your pocket is empty and you are wearing a nice tailored suit, it is difficult for people to call you poor, unattractive or unproductive.

Sequel to this, when people at your workplace are forced to wear suit, then people around them will start treating them differently too.

When you are dressed in proper business attire, it gives the message that you are dedicated to your position and it presents a visual image of your company.

It would be a shame to be overlooked for a promotion simply because of the way you dress. Unfortunately, this actually does happen quite often.

It is most important to get attention for great work rather than gaining attention for wearing the latest fashion trend, and if you must; go for a more conservative look.

You don’t have to have all the money before you can look good, wear a suit or appear professional. If you able to get a Nigerian fashion designer or a Nigerian tailor for those of us in Nigeria, who has been known for nice work and excellent customer satisfaction, you can be sure to get a fitted posh suit with cashmere material or any nice material of your choice. You can also get corporate shirts, pants, or skirts from any good Nigerian fashion designer or Nigerian tailor.

I wouldn’t be wrong to say that, I prefer a tailored suit, Nigerian-made-suit to foreign one, because after I wore a suit made by a Nigerian fashion designer, I decided never to buy a foreign suit. Dr. Legend Clothing dazzled me.

However, if you are dressed for work, then you are more likely to work.

List of Five Men Wear That Will Remain Trendy in Nigeria

The nature of fashion is that it is always changing, and it's usually pretty easy to pick out something that really is trendy and intriguing to you at the moment that will be gone in one year. Fashion is cyclical, and the pace at which it runs is sometimes unreachable. To pick out clothes that will always remain trendy for Nigerian guys is simple. Once you understand the basics of fashion trends, you can settle the never-run-out-of-trends-wear. The basic is simplicity; it has remained the ultimate sophistication. The simpler the design, the less likely it is to go out of style. 

Here is a list of five men wears that will always be trendy in Nigeria

The Classic Suit
Don't tell anyone, but we hear the Nigerian-made suit have proven to be best both in fitting and in durability. Because it is sown with your exact measurement and you can decide the material to be used for you. This can be worn to interviews, meetings, or mix-and-match with other pieces for after-work. It can represent anywhere, it is timeless.

Black pants

These are the cornerstone to many men's wardrobes. The fit has to be excellent on the pants. With black pants you can go from casual to formal with the change of a shirts or jacket. An absolute must for the classic clothes wardrobe.

White shirt

Something that you can dress up with some great jewelry or belts. The most important thing about a white shirt is that the fabric has to be crisp. Make sure that the fit is perfect and the buttons closing properly leaving no gaps. As soon as the white begins to turn to it-was-white or go grey it is time to brighten it with either bleach or bleach substitute. 

Native Wear

Native wear is much more our identity in Nigeria and African in totality. It is another men’s wear that will always be trendy. As long as you get a good Nigerian tailor or a Nigerian fashion designer who has been known for excellent jobs to sew it. Your end product will be timeless.    

Ankara Fabric

I have to do justice between native wear and Ankara in Nigeria. These two doesn’t represent the same for us. Undoubtedly, Ankara fabric is a great influencer on African fashion. It has entered into our fashion mainstream and can never be out of trends for Nigerian guys. 

Fashion Mistakes To Note

Fashion mistakes are long-held habits you refuse to break, fashion clichés you still believe are true, and small things you’re doing or not doing. These mistakes are things we do or see people do every day, that probably they are not aware that they are making a mistake. Like it sucks to see a beautiful woman in a beautiful outfit, then she passes you and you notice that her panty lines are obvious. Or a gorgeous man in a baggy shirts or in too many colors. This article intends to bring your attention to a few of these obvious fashion mistakes, so that you can change.

Too much Exposure:  Exposing much of your body has never been a good idea. A major reason why we wear clothes is to cover the private parts of the body which makes you look responsible. Showing too much of anything doesn’t make you look sexy! It doesn’t guarantee you attention, or at least, not any positive attention.  Pay attention to what you bare, cover and how things look on your body instead.

Instagram and Facebook Slayers: I regret to assume you’d buy anything simply so people know you own it, but such is the world in which we live. Are you buying those clothes because you really, really love it, or because you want others to know you bought it? If you buy them, will you be able to truly enjoy them without posting them to social media? If the answer is no, you are one of the fashion blunders that fuzz instagram and facebook in the mane of slaying.

Oversized Shirts: It has never been the in thing, shirts aren't supposed to be baggy. They're supposed to fit! Don’t hide in the folds of your baggy shirts and don’t try squeezing yourself into something that just wasn’t meant for your size.

Non-perfect tailored pants: Pants are very important because they serve as a base or anchor for the rest of your outfit. When they are not tailored correctly, you will end up totally losing your shape and looking sloppy. Your pant need a detailed tailoring because it needs to keep you in shape and structure.

Improper pants length: Have you seen someone wear pant and folds it because they length is either too short or too long. Folding jeans and chinos for men is a already fashion mistake. Don’t be the guy who has his feet swimming in a bunch of extra fabric. All it takes is a simple trip to the tailor to get them hemmed.

Wrong belt color: It is only wise that your belt color matches with the color of your shoes. And If you’re wearing casual shoes or sneakers, you should wear a thicker casual belt to match instead of a thin dress belt.

Rumpled clothing: There is no thump up for non-ironed clothes. Keep all your clothes pressed and wrinkle-free. It’s a good habit to always hang up all your clothes.
