Have you ever felt like you just want to hit the wall while trying to find the perfect color of outfit when you’re about to step out for an event? Then after that, your wardrobe turns upside-down, you end up getting frustrated, and still, you couldn’t find anything. One moment, you want the color pink, the next, you’re switching to grey. Somehow, everything in your wardrobe seems confusing.

“I have clothes, but I don’t know what to wear,” Well, you are not the only one in these shoes because I have experienced so much stress trying to pick outfits for events. During those moments, I realized the best and the fastest way to pick outfits is by picturing the color combinations for each dress.  You’re probably thinking, ‘How does that even work?’ Well, let me break it down — this July, outfit stress is not your portion.

So, if you have been struggling to choose the perfect colors of outfit, draw a seat closer, grab your tea, and tell the person beside you, they are not ready for what’s coming because I have curated six outfit color combinations that are far from boring. These colors show us that pairing color combinations doesn’t have to come with wahala and headaches, atimes.

Whatever color inspiration you want, there’s something for you here. Let’s get started.

Muticolored Pop (Pink, Green, Orange, White)

Remember the popular part of a lyric where the world stops and stares for you for a while? Yes! That’s what happens when you try these multicolored pop styles. This is a great approach for color blocking. The long, structured coat would immediately grab the attention of people. Is it because it’s bold and long? Not at all. It’s because of the multicolored pattern. The white crop top layered was the perfect fit for the coat. Then, there’s the wide-legged pink pants. That one screams confidence. You can match the outfit with sunglasses and a handbag. If you’re heading for a creative photo shoot, then you can try it on.

Lime & Luxe (Lime Green, Black & Tan)

When an outfit is styled rightly, then anything is possible. If you’re looking for something that’s not too loud, then you should go for it. The lime green off-shoulder crop top gave it a flirtatious look. This made the color feel a bit girly. It can be paired with a sleek black skirt. You can carry a woven tan bag to complete the outfit. This particular look doesn’t need to scream for it to get noticed.

Feathered Blush (Cream & Pink)

This color right here screams luxury and glam. If you want something luxurious, yet simple and attention grabbing, then a cream beige mini gown is what you need. Especially the one that’s styled with beads and sparkles. The cut out detail in the outfit added a modern touch and it showed off a bit of skin. The corner of the dress is designed with pink feathers. It’s a soft girl showstopper outfit. And you can wear pink heels to complete the look. If you’re heading to birthdays, or any event, try this on.

Sage & Crisp (Olive Green & White )

If you love the bossy chic vibe, then this color combination right here might just be what you need to start with. The crisp white button down is underneath the light olive green vest. The matching green trousers make the outfit beautiful. You can complete the look with a white mini handbag and a black sunglasses. This outfit is effortlessly elegant.

Electric Duo (Lime Green & Hot Pink)

You know that Barbie spotlight feeling? That’s what happens when Lime Green is combined with hot pink color. A lime green structured blazer is a great fit on it own, but now paired with a pink bodice, then it’s a blast. The green mini skirt added just the right amount of flair to it. If you’re going for a fashion event, then this is for you.

Midnight Cherry (Red, Grey & Black)

This look is for those who love to rock bold outfit. A fitted red sweater paired with a faded high waisted gray jeans meets cool girl with confidence. The black fur coat makes it look rich and elevated. This combination shows that you can wear cozy outfit and still stand out.

Conclusion: Let Color Do the Talking

These set of color combinations shows that you can play with color and still look good. So this July, don’t just wear color, style it. Let your outfit speak before you do. Which of these color combination caught your attention. Tell me in the comment section.

If there’s one thing Nigerians are known for, apart from our music and food, it’s our fashion sense. And guess what? We’ve got Nigerian fashion darlings who bring their A-game any day, any time.

Guess who they are? TV host Toke Makinwa and reality TV star Chioma Ikokwu. They’re not your regular type of ladies. These are strong, beautiful, and powerful women who leave people whispering from ear to ear whenever they show up.

Is it the red carpet you’re talking about? A high-class event? Or just a casual photo dump? One thing I’m sure of is this: they don’t just dress, they make every outfit count. But let me ask you this question, who do you think really deserves the throne in the fashion game?

That’s a difficult choice, right? Well, that’s why I’m here. Are you a glam elegant queen or a dramatic queen? Let’s break it down together.

Toke Makinwa: Glitz. Glam. Precision.

Toke Makinwa is not just an ordinary stylish babe, she’s a calculated chic boss. For every of her outfits, it seems as though there was a boardroom meeting with the style team who gets the vibe before she shares the outfit on Instagram. In the space of red carpet and luxurious fashion, she thrives. You would never catch her unfresh. Everything about her style screams, “I don’t just dress, I dominate.” let’s start with the off-shoulder black gown. The outfit hugged her in the right part, shines where it should, and had a daring slit at the corner. She hasn’t even started yet.

There goes the blue-embellished number with a luxury coat. It’s a combination of sparkle and drama. Is that all? Definitely not. The golden two-piece moment? It’s styled with jewelry. Toke Makinwa is definitely who she says she is — and her style may not be “simple,” but it is structured. Everything is placed intentionally. Even her casual slay looks planned.

You can tell that for Toke, fashion is not an afterthought, it’s a brand statement. She brings her A-game whether she’s stepping out for brunch or shutting down a gala. One thing is clear about her: Toke doesn’t guess, she calculates and serves.

Chioma Ikokwu: Regal. Artistic. Fearless.

On the other hand, Chioma Ikokwu is not your regular fashion babe. She’s a walking fashion exhibit — no jokes. Every time she shows up, it’s giving a rich aunty and energy vibes.

Let’s talk about that burgundy mermaid gown — off-shoulder, full lace appliques, and the way it hugged her figure? E choke. That dress wasn’t just pretty, it was powerful.

Now breathe — because we’re not done. Remember that asymmetrical slay? One shoulder giving sculpture, bodice snatched like a masterpiece, and that dramatic swirling headpiece? It looked like she was heading straight to the Met Gala, not your regular events.

One thing you can’t take from Chioma is confidence. She doesn’t play it safe. In fact, she doesn’t even try to blend in — she was born to stand out. Each outfit feels like it came straight from a museum. She wears art, not just clothes. From her hair to her poses, everything is intentional.

Let me be honest with you — Chioma is not in this fashion thing to try. She came to own the stage. Period.

Same Stage, Different Spotlights.

Toke and Chioma might live in the same fashion world, but they definitely walk different lanes. From the look of things, Toke is the queen of simple elegance. She knows how to shine without doing too much. Clean, classy, always intentional.

Chioma, on the other hand, is the queen of dramatic couture. Her style screams royalty. It’s bold, regal, and she wears it like she was born to rule the runway.

Now, over to you — Who truly rules supreme as a fashion queen?

If you’re all about glam with poise and structure, Toke is your best girl. But if you live for a bold, statement-making slay, then Chioma is your fashion fave.

At the end of the day, Nigeria’s fashion scene is rich because of women like these. Women who aren’t trying to be like anyone else. And that? That’s what real fashion is — being unapologetically yourself like the queen that you are.

So, which one of these looks made you scream “wow”? Let me know in the comments.

Fashion is now becoming bold in terms of revealing of skin – not just at the front anymore. There’s something about back-revealing dresses that looks sultry yet elegant. These designs are evolving in terms of skin baring. Lower back dresses used to be a thing for red carpet but now, it can be seen on our Instagram feeds, and trust me when I say it’s a daring but classy trend.

There’s just something effortlessly sexy and classy about showing a bit of skin at the back. Backless dresses have been incorporated into our everyday wear. They come in simple casual styles that you can wear anywhere like picnics, brunch dates, or just a simple hangout. The amazing part is you don’t have to be a fashion expert to pull it off.

How to Style Them

• With Bold Jewelry: Since the back is the main focus, skip the heavy necklaces and go for earrings that stands out.

• Slicked-back pony tail or bun: This helps keep the back open, literally letting the dress do all the talking.

• Pair with Heels or Strappy Sandals: Whether you’re keeping it simple or going full glam, the right shoes can elevate the look.

• Minimal Accessories: Let the dress shine. A tiny clutch or a dainty bracelet is enough.

Where You Can Wear Them

Backless and low-back dresses aren’t just for runway models or event shows anymore. Here’s where you can comfortably wear yours:

• Dinner Dates or Girls’ Night Out: Perfect for making a simple but unforgettable impression.

• Weddings or Formal Events: Go for a dress with a bit of sparkle or satin fabric and you’re good to go, especially with this Nigerian weather, your body will thank you.

• Vacations or Beach Days: You can opt for a long, low-back maxi or sundress — both pretty and breathable.

•Casual Days: Just throw on a denim jacket or light shawl over a backless dress for a more chilled, wearable vibe.

Worried About Showing Too Much?

We get that not everyone feels confident or comfortable enough to expose their back, and that’s totally okay. You can start with lower-cut backs instead of full backless styles. Look for pieces that have adjustable straps or extra structure if you’re worried about support. And if you’re not into showing skin, layer with a light shawl or a loose kimono — it still gives that flirty look, just toned down.

Final Thoughts
The thing with Lower back and backless dresses is that it’s not just a trend — they’re a reminder that fashion doesn’t always have to be complicated. It can be soft, bold, sexy, and still feel like you. If you want to go for a full glam or just keeping it laid-back, this trend has something for everyone.

So, would you try it? Or have you already joined the backless club?
