Nigeria is one of the most celebrated countries when it comes to fashion, simply because Nigerians take pride in their culture and fuse it with modern wear to create extraordinary looks.
Unlike South Africa where African wear is usually reserved for special occasions, in Nigeria, every day is Africa day.
Here are 3 reason why we love Nigerian fashion:
The bold prints and patterns
It's almost as if Nigerians don’t do plain, there has to be some sort of drama in their clothing. Whether its prints or patterns, something needs to pop hence their love for bold prints.

Accessories
Leaving a statement is a must and what better way to do it than wearing accessories? One of our favourites is the Geles worn by women. A gele is a head-wrap worn by women in many parts of Southern Africa and Western Africa.
