Nlers, which do you find preferable, dressing in your Native attire or In westernized designed attire? To parties, church, outings, etc?

I barely see Nigerians in Native clothings anymore. Na only skirts, tanks, shirts, etc, that I see this people wearing.
Why? Is it because people feel the need to imitate the fashion of their new adapted area, or what?

maybe in your bush FL

but the Nigerians up here wear native with a western twist.

Am beginning to think so.
Down South, they wear it everywhere.
Up here, you barely see anything.
[s]Maybe because it's a white-dominated area? [/s]

I wear agbada every haloween,

lol i dont even have 1
i really dont think its gana suit me

i love to wear both at the same time, as in wearing my traditonal with a western twist, it's crazy what you can do with our native ankara this days.

But iro and buba don't fit me at all, i feel and look older in it.
I think it fits those with bigger bodies

i also love sowing long flowing skirts wt the ankara or wax material

lace is out of it,how i hate it

iro and bubba is d worst,i can't even tie wrapper properly

then gele, who has time to tie d national flag on the head

@original9ja
dat wz funny, but when i see my mates with the bigger front and back in it and the way it fits them,omo i dey jealous o and not that mine is too flat o but it's just not my thing and i laugh at myself whenever i tie the iro and one part of it flies up.

But honestly i wish it's not so, i love it but it doesn't fit me.

SeanT21:

Aunty, same thing here. I love them.
Me too, I hate the lace, seems to show more than cover.

I can't do the head tie either, I just wrap it anyhow, hoping it comes out nice

Iro and buba? maybe, but the dress, all the way

gele sef on top gown

The new style in town

hehehe true that.
I feel like I got nothing back there and up here
I try making it tight as possible, but. . . . yea, let's leave it to the bigger bodies

[size=13pt]Am not really a fan of native wear especially the wrapper and bubba, i have so many of it in my closet. every year my mom always make sure they bring me at least two natives wear from Naija, but you will never catch me wearing it, but i know it will be useful in the future.
I love the skirt and blouse native with crazy styles, i had on one on my graduation, damn people were drooling when they saw me, i was looking stunning .
But i will rather prefer English wear sha, becos am more comfortable with that

Same thing here.
But I act. beg her to buy me some, we both choose the colors.
I love my mom

I look gorgeous in native wears, especially trendy ankara with a western touch and beautiful accessories. I prefer going native on sundays and some fridays, I don one of my finest ankaras. If you get a good dress maker, some native attires will give you the red carpet look, especially if you have the body to carry it.
