The Little Black Dress.
The colour black is just the right colour to wear on days when you do not want to do too much. However, you want to appear effortlessly stylish. A little black dress just does the right thing to your confidence in public as it is always elegant. It does not matter whether it is a bodycon midi dress or a mini dress with dramatic sleeves, it always bangs. Pairing the little black dress with stilettos and pearls as jewelry to attend a cocktail party, dinner date or a show is just the best way to show up looking chic.

The Floral Midi Dress.
This is perfect for daytime, outdoor events such as brunches, garden parties, picnics and so on. Nothing makes you chic in the daytime like floral midi dresses. Made with flowy fabrics and puff sleeves, this gives you a dreamy, picture perfect look. Pair this with block heels and a woven handbag and you would exude an attractive, sweet and soft vibe that will keep heads turning.

The Elegant Evening Gown.
There is nothing as lowkey dramatic and head turning like donning a floor length gown. From shimmering sequins to minimalist satin, evening gowns are your cue to go all out. Suitable for weddings, galas, balls, black-tie events, a deep neckline, high slit or open back just gives the right dose of elegance and drama.

The Bodycon Dress.
If you are yearning to make a breath-stopping entrance, especially when you have the perfect figure, then a bodycon dress is your go-to. It unapologetically accentuates every line of your shape and gives out the right dose of energy. It is perfect for birthday parties, nightclubs and the girls night out.
You no longer have any excuse not to make a commanding entrance to that event. All you have to do is go through your wardrobe and pick something chic that matches the event and you are good to go.

The Weiz Dhurm Franklyn Dress Worn by Mimi Yina Is a Work of Art
Mimi Yina was seen recently in a dress by Nigerian designer Weiz Dhurm Franklyn, and it was unique one. The hot pink colour was the highlight of the gown, but the details of the outfit are what makes the dress noticeable.

The dress has a dramatic high-low silhouette, with a short, fitted sequined skirt visible at the front and a long flowing train that falls to the floor. The gown appears to be made from a pleated fabric, giving it a voluminous texture. It has a halter-neckline and is designed with large flora-shaped bows, one at the waist and the other one near the knee.
She paired the outfit with simple silver strappy heels and minimal jewelry. Everything worked well with the strong outfit. Her hair and makeup were kept neat and natural.

The outfit design is distinctive. Weiz Dhurm Franklyn took a different approach with this piece, especially in how the details of the dress were handled. On mimi the dress suited her, like it was meant solely for her. With the bright colour adding more character to the overall look.
With bold colours and heavy details becoming more common, this dress still stands out because of how well it was put together. Nothing feels random, from the pleats to the bow placement.

Rema Shows How to Wear Black and Reveals His Mother Prefers Decent Outfit
Divine Ikubor, better known as Rema, has built a reputation not just for his music but also for his personal style. In a recent interview, the Nigerian Afrobeats star shared his approach to fashion, especially his preference for black, and revealed how his mother influences the way he dresses.
Rema often starts with the basics, choosing black pieces as the foundation of his outfits. He explained that black allows him to build looks that reflect his personality without unnecessary distraction. This approach appears consistently in his streetwear, stage looks, and public appearances. He pays attention to details such as accessories and fit, combining comfort with a sense of personal expression.

Family also plays a role in his choices. Rema said his mother values him dressing in ways she considers responsible and presentable. He described this as guidance rather than limitation, a reminder of his upbringing and the values that shaped him.
In discussing style, Rema noted that clothing is a form of self-expression. He also touched on relationships, explaining that while financial stability matters, style and presentation are more important when considering a partner. This perspective mirrors his approach to fashion: thoughtful, intentional, and grounded in personal standards rather than trends or external pressures.

Rema – Instagram
Rema’s comments provide insight into how he balances public image and personal values. For him, fashion is more than appearance; it is a way to express identity, stay connected to his roots, and respect the expectations of those closest to him. By prioritizing simplicity, consistency, and responsibility, he demonstrates that style can be meaningful without being showy.
