This is one of the reasons I don't wear native as much. I wear sockss but the bottom/pants must be long enough to cover the socks when I sit down. Having said that, I've seen some guys pull it off. |

My brothers and sisters...this is the whole conclusion of the matter * Can you wear your traditional aire with a Canvass or wear a suit with a canvass? * have you seen or can wear(tear) wrapper as a man and wear socks? * Can you wear a agbada with face cap?... The list go on and on,but the truth is,ITS A GREAT MISS For goodness sake you are not a fashion clown,neither are you a masquerade... The only exception to this is that,with the modern trend of traditional attire coming in form of english wear ,u can wear socks when its the top(traditional attire) alone on a trouser... IF NOT ,ITS A GREAT MISS!!! |

Ladies and gentlemen, u are not suppose to wear shoe with native let alone sucks. It is total fashion miss. Whenever u wear native then wear palm sandal not shoe |

See me see trouble! NO socks, NO Covered Shoes for me  . Besides, the trousers is always to the ankle....so who stares to see whether you are wearing socks or not? It's a hit with me anyway!...I can't allow my shoes to be stinking due to sweat.BTW, If you are following the rule of not combining 'western' stuffs with African stuffs, then you are not suppose to be wearing shoe with your natives in the first place  |

Ow can I wear shoes without socks, it looks crazy |
| Re: Wearing Socks With Native Attire. Hit Or Miss? by SWG1: 10:21pm On Dec 03, 2013 |
I think traditional attire on bare foot is the hit, since we borrowed the sillipon stuff. Y not talk abt jean and traditional |

Its a COMPLETE MISS! I do understand that some living "abroad" cant avoid it (socks) and each time l see them, they remind me of some "Ojuju-Calarbar" as my son would say!  I mean, such dressing looks utterly ridiculous! But if someone does it in Nigeria (with our warm weather!), l can only conclude that such person is insane because even those in the village, even a masquerade (Eegun Ijebu) knows not to don a socks on native wear. By the way, how did we come about that item called "socks"? Is it not the Oyinbo (Onyebeeke) that brought it down to us? They, had A NEED FOR IT, that is why they use it, .... to keep their feet warm and it later got accessorized and funky!  Anyone with a little sense of fashion (you dont have to be a fashion freak, mind you) knows that some things just dont go together. For example, l see guys wear checked Shirt and checked/lined/patterned Tie! If you must wear such checked/lined shirt, please know that it is a "dress sense" that you must put on a PLAIN TIE. Socks on any native attire is a No-No! But there is a trick which l use when yaawa wan gazz: If you can get your trousers/bottoms of the native to completely cover and eclipse the socks such that no one knows you are putting on a socks, then game-on! Oyinbo winter no be joke at times o! Really, you need to see how our people look in winter! Lastpage! |

Very good question OP. It is surprising the number of nairalanders who think wearing a socks on traditional outfit is a miss. Someone stated it clearly that socks exist because of shoes. I can't stand the feeling of leather on my skin. Well this is what I know. It is considered that a man whose skin is revealed under his trouser is not properly groomed e.g. Like when you sit. 2 Likes |

Not a miss joor cant wear shoe wtout socks |
| Re: Wearing Socks With Native Attire. Hit Or Miss? by Hearme(m): 10:54pm On Dec 03, 2013 |
I don't deceive myself neither do I allow nonsense to becloud my sense of judgment. I wear my socks well without any sense of guilt. One of the reasons we wear socks is to prevent our legs from smelling having worn shoes for a long time. I do tell my wife that the fashion police that will arrest me must be ready to tell my why I should prefer fashion to a healthy foot. |

Pizzanatty: My brothers and sisters...this is the whole conclusion of the matterYou are entitled to your opinion.If you want go for traditional,wear sandal,covered shoes are not traditional.But wait o! you will put on singlet under your native attire for some reason.Is Singlet miss or hit? So if singlet is hit then socks also must be hit. 1 Like |

whatever, i can´t wesar a shoe with out socks period. Whoever wants to throw him/heself into river niger cos I did so can be my guest. The thing is to balance out things cos I know what one wears must balance out with whats acceptable (cos am not a complete bushman). Anyway, I compensate that by wearing those very small shoe like socks with whatever shoe I wear with the traditional so people don´t notice the socks and i get to wear my socks with a shoe. |
| Re: Wearing Socks With Native Attire. Hit Or Miss? by Nobody: 11:06pm On Dec 03, 2013 |
i wear it all the time. i cant afford to sweat in my shoes. i sometimes wear natives (linen) on my tim boots. |

If you must wear covered shoes then you must wear socks. Socks have nothing to do with your attire but with the shoes you are wearing. Datz all. 1 Like |

Pizzanatty: My brothers and sisters...this is the whole conclusion of the matter Someone somewhere started those unwritten laws. If a celebrity (Obama, D banj, Denrele, GEJ, Messi, Billgate) begins to were canvass on suit today, virtually all Nigerians will say that's the raining fashion in town. At a time waste coat was outdated. This days corporate guys now like to wear armless sweaters which is a cover to waste coat. Finally, do men plait hairs in the seventies? Why did men started sagging? Do the Hebrews still wear robe and skirts all about? Do you prefer a smelling foot in your house due to not wearing socks for fashion sake. I think the priority should be if you're comfortable with it and not just for the sake of pleasing others. 2 Likes |

I think it's a hit. But it probably depends on the cut. |
