Before discussing the rules, let’s know what men’s native wears are. Men’s native wears, which are also called traditional wears, are garments or clothes worn in the olden days by men. Then, there was nothing like the civilized wears we have today. Of course, they are still very much worn now, but some changes have been made to them (their color, materials, and so on) to make them come out in a better and more unique way. Traditional wears are typical to African countries.
Consider the following when putting on native wear:
The Length Of The Trousers
You must make sure that the length of your native trousers is not too short nor too long. It should be on your ankle right above your shoe. Most men have the length of their trousers a little below their ankle, covering half of their shoes. This is unpleasing to the eyes; it doesn’t make you look good. Making it above it should specifically be for a fashion statement.
Wear Befitting Footwears
Wearing shoes with native wears is nice, but dress shoes and lace-up shoes on simple attire should be avoided for men’s fashion. If you must wear it, it should be the most advanced one known as Monkstrap. (Still note that it is only acceptable with a business casual or formal native attire)
Don’t wear leather slippers for special occasions like weddings. You can wear them when going for casual occasions or when having leisure activities outside. Just ensure that you wear a classic one.
Native Wears And Belts
Avoid using belts. They are not acceptable with native wears. Your trousers should be sewn to fit you perfectly. It should be the exact size of your waist.
Native Wears And Socks
Socks are only acceptable and friendly on English wears and native ones like senators, agbada or kaftan. Wearing it with other native wears can be said to be wrong. They make you look like a caveman. If you can’t do without wearing one, go for half socks; they won’t show.
Native Wears And Wristwatches
When wearing native wears, avoid putting on chain watches and sports watches. They aren’t suitable at all. You are to use leather watches, silver or gold ones. You should also know that your wristwatches don’t have to be expensive. Just get the durable ones and those that look good.
Head Accessories And Native Wears
Do you wear face caps with your traditional wears? If yes, permit me to say that it is wrong. Face caps are good and suitable for English wear only. If wearing head accessories is what you can’t do without, use native custom hats or caps. They make you look good and stylish.
