Men’s fashion in Nigeria isn’t something you’d call boring because there seems to be no end to the latest native styles for men that can be worn for any and every occasion possible.
But that also means that everything changes, and it can be difficult to keep up with the trend.
One minute, senator wear is the trend, and the next, it’s Ankara styles for males.
Despite constant trend change, there are a number of native styles for men that are valid throughout; you can call them “evergreen” if you wish.
I have compiled some of these native styles, and you should definitely check them out while looking for the perfect wear for the next occasion.
Agbada
Agbada is arguably the most versatile native style for men in Nigeria for a very long time.
Originally from the Yoruba part of the country, it has since evolved to include all the other cultures as well.
The interesting thing about the Agbada style is the choice it gives you.
You might decide to go with the plain Agbada style with embroidery or prominent stripes on it; the options are very many. Exploring digitizing programs can help you create intricate and personalized embroidery designs to enhance the aesthetic appeal of your Agbada style, adding a unique touch to your attire.
Kaftans
I personally think that Kaftans are a derivative of Agbadas, but some people know more about native styles for men and might have a different opinion.
Regardless of my opinion, kaftans are objectively one of the best native styles you can get for men.
Not only does it transcend time and place, but it can also be uniquely beautiful with different kinds of embroidery.
Kaftans do a pretty of looking good for the occasion that calls for native wear, and if you’re the adventurous one, the possibility of creating new designs is so huge you won’t have to look like any other person.
Senator Wear
This is considered a staple native style for a huge number of men in Nigeria.
It is understated yet pleasing to the eye and suitable for most occasions when you might need a native style.
While there isn’t much to change about Senator wears (other than colour), you can still customize added details and embroidery on your style if you are the creative type.
Conclusion
Although native styles for men may not be as extensive as those for women, that doesn’t mean there can’t be really good native styles for men, too.
In fact, there are trends to men’s wear as well, and these trends change frequently within a short time. Despite that, there are some styles you just can’t go wrong in.
I have highlighted them above, and with these styles, you can at any occasion that calls for native styles and still be one of the best-dressed people!
The good thing about the highlighted styles (and probably the reason they are so timeless) is that there is so much you can do to customize and bespoke them to your taste.
