I prefer american dressing but there's nothing as good as going back to your roots where you belong

i like the american dressing and it's true that some african are copying the dressing and the sad thing about it is it dosent fit many of the them but i dont see anything wrong with the american dressing though.

i am african and proud to be so i sometimes wear african dresses and people always tell me that i look nice but to be sincere i don't feel comfortable in them so i prefer what we call "american dressing" even though it's not tipically american

have you noticed that university girls in naija always dress like the video hos in american (rap) music videos? always looking trashy and showing too much skin. what i hate the most is those fat girls with k-leg (no offence fatty bom boms and k-leggers grin) trying to squeeze themslves in flimys outfits with everything spilling out. ughhhhhhhh lipsrsealed

Afican or American dressing? What's the point. Put on anything that looks good on you. With the merging of cultures these days; I could use ankara to sew a designer wear as far as it is comfortable. smiley

darrrrr? shocked
i thought u would ask me
which man i should marry?
my dad or my brother grin

for Gods sake it deppends on the
occation ,i dont expect u to wear a

confortable with what u are wearing them
u are good to go.just make sure u are not neked

The crux of the matter is that both dresses are great. Period!

Nevertheless, it depends on the situation. American dresses are mean't for corporate events – well, its not meant to be, but we can't deny the factt! That is what we have in this part of the world.

African dresses are great for informal events – I mean, perfectly classy.

It's bit worrisome that we hardly value what we have.

In the real sense of it, many Americans envy African designs, hence you see top American models in various Ankara prints.

Yea, call it cultural appropriation, but I tend to see it in a positive light.
