The world of suit fashion has been constantly evolving. In African countries like Nigeria, talented Nigerian fashion designers have consistently strived to create vibrant suit styles, effectively breaking the monotony of traditional suit aesthetics. Besides, they have skillfully explored diverse fabrics to craft dynamic suit pieces, while innovative stylists have demonstrated creative thinking in their approach to “suiting up.”
Recently, sleek monochromatic suit fashion has been making significant waves, subtly eclipsing the basic solid-color suit look. There’s also a growing trend of exploring luxurious silk material for shirts, providing a striking contrast to the fabric used for the suit jacket and trousers.
Today, we’re excited to showcase two celebrities who distinctly showcased explorative colors and styles in their suit ensembles.
Timini in a Monochromatic Ivory Look
The award-winning Nollywood actor, for one of his post-birthday appearances, effortlessly sported a monochromatic look in an elegant ivory hue. The dynamism in his styling lay in his ability to present a smart-casual aesthetic without appearing overly formal or stiffly “suited up.” Notably, Timini chose to wear a dapper bow tie sans a tuxedo, which added a refined touch to his ensemble.
Femi Atere
For the Trendupp Annual Awards, Femi Atere donned an all-dark green suit look that created a strikingly bolder silhouette. While the trousers and jacket weren’t precisely tailored to a skin-tight fit, they nonetheless presented a flattering silhouette on him. With a single button fastening just below the lapel, the suit exuded distinctive styling. We caught a glimpse of his shirt, which served as a perfect backdrop for his unapologetically perfectly knotted tie.

Chimezie Imo is another Nollywood actor renowned for his impeccable fashion sense. His looks often feature explorative suit styles. In this particular instance, he’s seen sporting a luxurious red velvet suit jacket with an extra decorative lapel crafted from sleek black fabric. He wore a classic black shirt as his base layer, which perfectly complemented his chic black bow tie. His trousers mirrored the color styling of his top layer: black pants with striking red stripes elegantly positioned along the side.
Akin Faminu
What’s a fashion suit review without featuring Akin Faminu? During his recent trip to Paris, Akin Faminu expertly paired a sophisticated beige suit jacket with a coordinating shirt, complemented by sharp black pants. This ensemble leaned towards an office-casual category, but with an added touch of dazzle thanks to his bold choice of trousers.
