With the evolution of the fashion industry, a lot of brands are now offering inclusive and diverse styles that cater to the needs of the stylish Nigerian Man. We’ve come a long way from dressing in monochromatic or monotonic styles and have really switched things up by infusing several fashion elements to transform our aesthetic while still representing our rich culture. Nigerian fashion has aggressively evolved in the last 2 decades and this brings joy to Nigerian men that love to be fashionable.

I mean, as a fashionable Nigerian man, you appreciate looking great in both traditional attire and modern styles. Why limit yourself to just a few familiar brands when there is a world of diverse fashion labels to explore? Expanding your wardrobe with pieces from various designers and top Nigerian fashion brands can help you create exciting new looks while celebrating your culture.

With this knowledge,  some brands now know that it wasn’t how it used to be, the Nigerian man can now exude that dapper look while ensuring his culture takes center on the World’s stage. So, they have amped up their game, by incorporating International aesthetics to create a modern spin on our fabrics. Did we forget to mention that these brands are more accessible than before? 

 

Let’s start with the tips on how to get these brands 

Tips to Expand Your Style With Diverse Brands as a Nigerian Man

 

Here are some tips for finding diverse clothing lines that align with your personal style:

Explore Independent Boutiques 

While the mall may be convenient, you’re more likely to discover interesting, niche brands at local boutiques. Here’s the trick; they have more flexibility to stock labels and upcoming designers from around the world, creating an array of different styles you’ll love. So, find time and curate some special collections you may not see at big chain stores. 

Search Online Marketplaces

These days, is there anything you need you won’t find on the internet? I’m sure my answer is the same as yours. E-commerce sites like Amazon, Jumia, Konga, and a host of others make it easy for you to browse vintage pieces from small businesses 

Follow Influencers 

I mean what do you have the likes of Ebuka, Enioluwa, and Uti Nwachukwu? These Influencers can be an excellent resource for discovering new brands. So make sure you take note when they tag or mention clothing brands in their posts and stories. This is a sure-fire way to explore diverse brands since these influencers are known for spicing up their game with fits from different designers.

Check Local Markets

Markets, trade fairs, and other pop-up shops can be fantastic for scoring unique pieces from emerging designers and brands. Don’t forget to ask these vendors about their clothing lines and if they have an online presence to continue following them. This is what I would like to call, finding your diamond in the rough.
