Wearing Socks With Native Attire. Hit Or Miss? by Ericomoto(m): 3:26pm On Nov 29, 2013
I need the opinions of NL Fashion experts. Is it right or wrong to wear socks with shoes when you put on a native attire. Traditionally people always say its a fashion miss especially when you put on flowing Agbada or Babanriga but considering the fact that many native attire these days are sewed in a contemporary manners with some even worn on western clothes like Jeans etc. In my own case I cannot wear shoes without socks native or western. Can it be considered a hit or miss?

Re: Wearing Socks With Native Attire. Hit Or Miss? by Babasquare: 6:59pm On Dec 03, 2013
A great hit... unless you are wearing a pair of sandals or slippers. if you are wearing any pair of men shoes, you have to wear an accompanying pair of socks.... It's hygienic and it's always cool with right colour blends.

It's a hit ! Normally wearing socks absorbs heat from the feet, thereby preserving more of the shoes. You only need to wash your socks and air your shoes from time to time.

It also keeps the feet safe from minor injuries and mayBe hidden cockroaches and spiders found in Nigerian men shoes tongue
As per fashion, if the shoe is a westernized shoe, you should dress accordingly.

Not wearing socks makes u look like bush man with ugly ankles
