The 2023 presidential election is here. And as a responsible Nigerian citizen going out to vote, here are tips on how to dress the part.
Fly our Naija colours
It’s pretty simple. If you want fellow voters to take you seriously, make sure your outfits are green-white-green. A green top, white pants and green shoes.
Or settle for black
When in doubt, wear black. It won’t get stained easily, and it’s symbolic. You’re there to bury the shege of the last eight years after all.
It has to be jeans
This is not the time for ashawo shorts or Ayra Starr skirts. Wear comfortable clothes, so when you need to tell someone you’ll share one trouser, they’d know you mean it.
Or combat shorts
You’re there to fight for your future. So make that clear.
You need them boots
Too bad those red boots haven’t gotten to Nigeria yet. But your shoes still need to give a “I go match you for head” vibe.
Have your shades handy
Not sunglasses, shades. They need to be large and black, like the type our mothers used to wear. So before someone thinks of starting small talk, they’ll look at your face and reconsider.
Face caps are a must
This isn’t even about fashion. Forget about the on-and-off harmattan, the weather is still HOT, so you’ll need this.
