Nigerians are stylish people, we practically invented drip

Whether we’re rocking traditional aso-ebi or making bold statements with streetwear, one thing is certain: we don’t come to play.

But let’s be honest, there are some fashion choices that have overstayed their welcome and it’s time to call a town hall meeting and officially retire these trends in 2025 (except maybe for throwback parties).

So, in the spirit of progress and fresh wardrobe choices, let’s get into it.

Sunglasses at Night & Indoors

Bro, why are you wearing sunglasses at 9 PM? Is the moon too bright? Are you secretly a vampire? Or are you just shading your enemies in advance?

Wearing dark shades indoors or at night (even at the club) needs to be banned with immediate effect. Unless you’re a celebrity dodging paparazzi (which, let’s be honest, you are not), it’s time to stop.

Fake Designer Drip That Even the Designer Won’t Recognize

We need to have an honest conversation: why is Balenciaga spelled “Balenchaga” on your hoodie? 

We all love a good designer, but if you must wear it, at least make sure it actually exists.

We’ve seen Abibas instead of Adidas, Fendy instead of Fendi, and let’s not forget the famous Louis Vuuitton with double “u”. Guy, it’s okay to wear no-name brands! We won’t beat you!

3D Lashes That Look Like Ceiling Fans

Ladies, let’s have a heart-to-heart talk. Those oversized 3D lashes that look like they could cause a tornado when you blink? It’s time to let them go.

If your lashes are so long they’re causing WiFi interference, brushing people’s faces when you turn, or making it difficult for you to open your eyes fully, please retire them. 

Your eyes deserve better.

The Outrageous Lace Frontal Hairline

If your frontal is starting from your forehead like an Igbo chief’s cap, we need to have a discussion.

A good wig should look like hair, not like a helmet. Some of you are walking around looking like Marvel superheroes with Excessive Baby Hair Powers

In this 2025, let’s embrace natural-looking frontals or just rock our God-given hair in peace.

Tight Trousers That Are One Sneeze Away from Splitting

Nigerian men, you people need to be honest with yourselves. If your trousers are tighter than your financial budget, please let them go.

Once you start walking like a penguin or your knees are struggling for circulation, it’s time to move on. 

Let your legs breathe!

The Devil’s Corset (Waist Snatchers)

I know waist trainers/ corsets are great for shaping, but why does it look like this one is after your life?

If your corset is making it hard for you to breathe, or forcing you to sit like a robot, please reconsider. 

Fashion should be stylish, not suffocating.

“Gra Gra” Makeup

Ladies, makeup is meant to enhance beauty, not transform you into a completely different human being.

Some of you are scamming us with contour and foundation. We greet you at an event, and then, the next morning without makeup, we are asking, “Have we met before?”

This year, let’s embrace natural glam.

Distressed Jeans That Look Like They Fought in a Lion’s Den

Yes, ripped jeans are cool, but some of us have taken it too far. If your jeans have more holes than fabric, are you still wearing trousers or spiritual curtains?

Once your jeans look like you had an intense fight with a wild animal, it’s time to let them go. The suffering is too much—for you and for the denim.

Transparent Everything (Where Is Your Dignity?)

We get it—transparency is fashionable. But some of you have taken it too far!

  • Transparent shoes (so everyone sees your toe struggles).
  • Transparent bags (so thieves know exactly what to steal).
  • Transparent dresses (so we all get an unintentional anatomy lesson).

Let’s go back to the days when clothes covered things they were meant to cover.

Chunky Sneakers That Look Like Transformer Boots

Sneakers are cool. But these oversized, alien-looking, foot-crushing sneakers need to be stopped.

If your sneakers are so big they look like they were made for Thanos, it’s time to let them go. This year is for sleek, stylish, and practical footwear.

Fashion is about expression, but it’s also about common sense. Let’s leave these outdated trends behind and embrace new, stylish, and sensible choices.
