My dress code these days has been a hoodie, baggy Jeans, a pair of socks and sneakers. It feels like a uniform as every other person on the streets of Lagos seems to be wearing the same and yo, it is dope!
Tomboy fashion no doubt has been on the trend list for years now, and this season comes with the need to cover up your body in order to protect it from the harsh weather.
The term “Tomboy” is used to refer to men’s style that is adopted by women.
Most people, women especially, have found comfort in baggy shirts, oversized cardigan or hoodie and huge slacks or pants. They just do not want to be bothered with the hassles of wearing tight fitted clothing or worry about how their ass looks in a pair of jeans. Which is particularly one of the reasons why some women have adopted the tomboy fashion.
For most women, it is not about the style of clothing. It is more about feeling comfortable in whatever she is wearing.
