Growing up as a child in the nineties moderation and decency in dressing was the order of the day. Floral gowns and native wears like the ankara, buba and the likes were the vogue. Our women radiated in those attires and of course,those dresses covered the areas of interest for the male folk (lol).
Those glory days when women weren’t coy of trying our sophisticated materials of different sorts viz: cotton, polyester, wool, linen and the list goes on and on. A lady in the nineties could prepare for work and ask here roommate ”How do I look?” If the roommate replies with ”Not bad, but your bum looks a Tad big”. It’s a no for that dress as the former would throw another dress on and give the first dress either to a younger sibling or to that roommate but one thing was for sure she wasn’t going to wear that dress ever again!
Sliding and gliding into the 2000′s fast forward to the last year of the first decade (2010 to date). It would seem that the youth of this day didn’t learn an iota of decency from their predecessors, their mums precisely. Matter of fact, I’ve always wanted to ask if the Nigerian cloth makers have run out of ‘fabric’ or ‘textile’ OR Is it a case of Nigerian females not knowing their sizes anymore?
It’s more or less a puzzle knowing where to begin in understanding this trend. Spandex and leggings are basically the new ankara, buba, cotton or even leather of our time.leggings are basically the beginning and end of some ladies wardrobe,quite a Shame.
These days,”your bum looks quite big in that”… is gladly taken as a Plus,while an opposite statement is perceived an aberration or ‘beef’. The mammary glands are ‘movies’ showing for free at ‘cinemas’ these days,and I hear people ask why men don’t get married at a young age anymore?
Well,there you have it,with the way things are going I don’t see this ’DECADENCE DECLINING’ anytime soon!
