Fashion is a popular trend, especially in
styles of dress, ornament, or behavior. This term does not just define all the
latest or the most popular or the most famous clothes. In reality, this social
phenomenon involves more importance. In some way fashion helps us to show who
we are and depict our personality in terms of visual information i.e. physical
appearance. We can even define our culture with our dressing. Fashion is a huge
way of communication; our attitude can even be shown; loud or quiet; from our
way of dressing. Well, so it happens that we would want to talk tribal nolo.
LOL.

patterns; that even blends so well with our ebony skin tone.# Amazing. The good
part of this is that everyone can rock our lovely patterns. The come in short,
trousers, shirt, gowns, ‘’buba and iro’’ and lots more.

One Clothing material stands out
of all the clothing materials used for designing fashion outfits. Presently,
Nigerian design is trending everywhere, within and outside the country. The
pattern and style are versatile, so you can rock them anywhere, home, work,

When it comes to African beauty, “Ankara” is
one of the highly recognized cloths in Africa and no doubt, when you see men

Ankara or not, the whole essence of fashion is all about how the society feels
about itself mentally. If we feel naturally embrace the patterns, style,
richness and colors of our lovely Nigeria fabrics. These fabrics and pattern
aids in creating fashion and making it a standard of life. Nigerians are people
of good standards and ethics, we dress that way. #Wink.
