Every year, Nigerian fashion enthusiasts gather at the Lagos Fashion Week tents in the Federal Palace Hotel to watch some of the most talented designers showcase their spring/summer collections. It’s usually not the main runway shows that capture the essence of fashion week but street style. Fashion street stylers are always eager to put their best foot forward, experimenting with unique, eccentric, and stylish trends, labels, and designs. This year, the Lagos SS23 showgoers adorned monochromatic looks and bold colorways. The experimental fashion came into play through patterns, cuts, and textures—ruffles, fur, you name it. Come along as we take you through some of our favorite street-style looks at the Lagos SS23 Fashion Week.
Tailoring & Shades Of White

Nothing says “clean gurl aesthetic” like a white outfit, and tailoring adds more to that. The flamboyant tailored suit with beaded pearls trend has obviously taken over, and we are loving it.
Monochromatic
Monochromatic looks are usually simple looking, yet very chic! Monochromatic outfits were quickly reinstated as a high-fashion styling trick on the runways. These looks are the visual representations of what consistency looks like.
Denim Couture

As we all know, denim is the go-to staple material for clothing. It is the one garment that has managed to keep itself classy and timeless through the years. These denim looks are both beautifully designed and flamboyant, making them a must-have.
Hair & Accessories
Hair and makeup can make or break a look. However, accessories as a finishing touch also play a huge role. With new trends coming in and out, more designers are creating master jewelry. Bold and unconventional, or rather somewhat dysfunctional, accessories have taken over, and why not?
Bold colors
Always say yes to color! This bold color trend is for anyone who’s confident enough to pull off a show-stopping pose. 2022 has awakened the use of color, which is a 60’s trend, and we are not complaining.
Raffles, Cuts & Style
One thing that you can never take away from any garment is the manner in which it is cut, designed, and styled. Garments with ruffles, fur, and the works are always accentuated and will win at any fashion affair because sometimes, more is more. These outfits can definitely go from the street to the runway, a true depiction of fashion and style.
