You don’t have to wear your designer pieces only when there’s a special event. Real Wear Nigerian is in incorporating these pieces into your everyday wear. Sure, some statement looks are made for luxury events, but what if you actually wore Nigerian in your day-to-day life? It all starts with the pieces you choose to shop.

Plain yet durable pieces go a long way as they open up styling options and help you build a wardrobe, not just outfits. For example, the Rinni Set from Ruks À La Mode can be styled in six different ways. Kai Collective’s Yumi skirt? A staple. Isale Eko from Derin’s pieces? Can be restyled oh-so-many ways. The trick is to let your creativity shine across the board.

 

Another tip for buying and styling is to shop durable pieces. That way, when you do buy something, you know you’re going to get a huge chunk of wear from it  without worrying about quick wear and tear.

Accessorising is another major way to restyle your wardrobe. A small switch like wearing a mesh dress inside a tube piece, layering a blazer over your outfit, throwing on heavy jewellery, or mixing and matching your pieces in bold or minimal ways, it all makes a difference.

Being bold. Being audacious. Minimising. Maximising. That’s the beauty of Nigerian fashion, there’s space for all of it.
