NIGERIA FASHION AND STYLE 2018 TRENDS When we talk about fashion, we are not only referring to different types of clothing, hair, shoes e.t.c but we are talking about the style of dressing that is currently in vogue. Fashion changes with time; it is not for ever and ever more. You will be amazed that within a short space of time, particular attire can be redesigned to various styles. Those new styles of the same attire will be what are in vogue while the old styles that were fashionable some days ago will now be referred to as old school. Hmmn perhaps you could be wondering what did I mean by old school, what I meant by old school is that there are some particular attire/ style of dressing that are trending in the time past but currently not fashionable, they are referred to as old school. Now let's talk about the main reason for this article. Let's talk about the Nigerian fashion and style talk about the native attires since we are Nigerians and we respect our culture. AGBADA: This type of dressing is common among the "yoruba demon". They are referred to as yoruba demon because they rock this particular attire in a very fine and beautiful ways. In the olden days agbada is classified as clothes for the old papas, but nowadays things has changed, agbada is being worn by both genders. Infact everyone is drooling to have one. The agbada is a big-free flowing outer robe known as awosoke, an innervest (awotele), a long trouser (sokoto) with a hat ( fila). The outer robe is a large loose fitting, ankle- length garment. The trouser for agbada is of two types, we have the kembe: it is a big wide bottomed trouser. On the other hand we have the sooro: it is a slim fit, ankle length narrow bottom trouser. The hat are of various types, we have the abetiaja and the labankada to mention a few. Finally the last thing on the list is a shoe to compliment the dressing. Oh oh oh, please try visit a owambe party and look for the men or women in agbada, you can nearly eat them because they look so yummy to the eyes especially the men when they complement it with their trimmed beard and pink lips, "Damn" that murders it all. OFF SHOULDER NATIVE WEARS : Hmmn, no matter what, every one wants to look good irrespective of his or her tribes. Off shoulder native wears are made from ankara. In most cases this attire doesn't have a strap attaching it to the shoulder and in some cases they do have, but the strap will be very thin, sometimes it is almost invinsible. The attire has a hook at the shoulder length in the inward part to clip the arm to the attire. The necking length could be in v-shape or semi- circular shape, it could also be in heart shape or oval shape. It all depends on the taste of the individual. Lace blouse and skirt styles: in this aspect, I can tell you boldly that fashion is quite funny, the clothing style here is made from a lace material, lace blouses comes in various styles, patterns or decorations. It is made in form of blouse and supported with a skirt. The lace blouse can be worn with different types of skirt like flared skirt( it is a skirt that is made in a way that is a little bit transparent) or mermaid skirt ( this skirt looks like a mermaid tail). This style is self explanatory already since it is made into blouse and skirt, though some efizzy designs can be made into it to make it look more adorable. SENATOR STYLE: This is first discovered among the southern part of Nigerian, it is produced from fabric materials. Fabric materials are also used to make casual wears like suits and jackets. The

2. senator style has a long top or shirt almost reaching the knee complimented with a trouser. The top has different kinds of design mostly located around the chest, belly or collar. It is usually completed with a hat for men. They are produced in various colours but the most popular colour is black, blue and white. DANSHIKI : danshiki was discovered from harlem. It is a clothing style that symbolises that black is beautiful, though it is not originated from Nigeria but it is made up from native attires. It was originated from West Africa. The danshiki is very colourful and beautiful attire; it encompasses the top half of the body. It is loose-fitting attire with a v-shaped collar; it also has an embroidered neck coupled with sleeve- lines. The attire is completed with a kufi cap with a pair of shorts. ATIKU STYLES: This style of dressing is also referred to as traditional.it is quite similar to that of danshiki with a straight design and straight trouser. A kufi cap can be worn to compliment it. The cap can be in the same colour with the main attire. An atiku style has a strong texture similar to that of "dry lace" material but it is a bit slimmer and lacks those large see through holes that you discover on some lace materials. The atiku style could be in form of agbada, buba and trouser. It mainly depends on the type of materials used and the taste of the designer. https://www.naijadazz.com/
