Native Wear: The New Normal for Gents?

Native wear isn’t anything new –it’s been a big part of African culture for a long time now – it however hasn’t always been embraced as much within the country – (just have a look around town and you can make your own conclusions) however, usually in countries like Nigeria, Ghana and others where both men and women don their garb on daily - it’s not even a question of whether one should wear it or not? – It just is. 

Of late however, I have seen a number of our Zimbabwean brothers looking dapper in these looks. Usually reserved for special events, like weddings, or award ceremonies, the native look is slowly infiltrating the everyday spheres of a man’s life, personally this is a movement worth acknowledging and I am all for it.

 I’ve also noted that there are some brothers who are not going full on native but are incorporating native wear by switching it up with just a native shirt with their everyday formal pants, jeans or chinos. – Which is perfectly okay - the experimentation is more than welcome in my books and I’d recommend small doses to anyone who wants to try it out. It could even be with a native inspired bow tie or the intricate details on a formal shirt. Whatever floats your boat..

Whether you choose to go full on or little by little native wear is a look worth exploring.

If you are serious about fashion or just want to switch it up and update your closet - think native and take a leaf from these gents style handbook.
