Before Slawn’s 2026 Super Eagles Kits, There Was the Iconic 2018 Nike Collection by David Bowler
Olaolu Slawn’s newly unveiled Nike collaboration for the Super Eagles is already shaping up to be another major fashion-meets-football moment for Nigeria. With its bold visuals, streetwear-inspired pieces and distinctly Nigerian energy, the collection feels like a new chapter in the growing relationship between football culture and fashion. But for real fashion lovers, this moment also brings back memories of the now-iconic 2018 World Cup kit. Designed by Nigerian luxury designer David Bowler in partnership with Nike, the sports jersey sold out almost immediately after its release. Because long before football jerseys became luxury fashion references and street style staples, Nigeria’s 2018 Nike collection changed the game entirely. The green-and-white zigzag jersey became an instant global sensation, with Nike reportedly receiving over three million pre-orders before the official release. Fans famously queued outside London’s Niketown store on Oxford Street just to get their hands on the collection. The campaign visuals only added to its cultural impact. Featuring names like Wizkid, Grace Ladoja, Alex Iwobi, Julie Adenuga and Wilfred Ndidi, the imagery captured a stylish, youthful Nigeria that the world could not stop paying attention to. But beyond the numbers, the collection succeeded because it felt bigger than football. Inspired by Nigeria’s gold […] The post Before Slawn’s 2026 Super Eagles Kits, There Was the Iconic 2018 Nike Collection by David Bowler appeared first on BN Style.

Five Nigerian Women on the Beauty Trends They’re Officially Tired Of
Beauty trends are supposed to make life more fun, expressive and experimental, but for many women, some of today’s most popular standards feel more exhausting than exciting. From complicated skincare routines to the pressure to always look “done,” beauty culture can sometimes feel less like self-expression and more like performance. We spoke to five Nigerian women about the beauty trends they simply cannot stand, and honestly, their answers might sound very familiar. Bolu, 26: “I Hate Lashes. All of Them.” “Strip lashes, extensions, cluster, you name it. I just hate lashes.” Lashes have become almost mandatory for glam makeup looks, especially for weddings, birthdays and nights out. But for some women, the discomfort, maintenance and dramatic look simply are not worth it. Tolani, 30: “Three Steps Are Enough for Me.” “I cannot stand anything more than a three-step skincare routine. Face wash, moisturiser and sunscreen. I get so overwhelmed with so much product on my face.” With skincare shelves becoming more crowded by the day, many women are beginning to reject the idea that beauty has to involve 15 serums and complicated routines. Onyinyechi, 22: “Loc’ing My Hair Was the Best Decision.” “Mine is the constant need to make one’s […] The post Five Nigerian Women on the Beauty Trends They’re Officially Tired Of appeared first on BN Style.

5 Nigerian Women on the Beauty Treatments That Were Absolutely Worth It
If you’ve spent more than five minutes on beauty TikTok or deep in a Reddit thread, then you already know this: everybody has a recommendation. One person swears by laser hair removal, another says microneedling transformed their skin, and somebody else is convincing you that monthly facials are the secret to looking expensive. At some point, beauty treatments start sounding less like self-care and more like a full-time financial commitment. With so many opinions online, it can get overwhelming figuring out what is actually worth spending your money on, especially in a time where treatments are becoming more accessible and more expensive. So, instead of listening to influencers with sponsored partnerships and perfect lighting, we spoke to five Nigerian women about the beauty treatments they genuinely believe were worth every naira. From acne scar treatments to laser sessions and luxury facials, these are the procedures they’d happily book again. Ada, 29: “Laser Hair Removal Changed My Life” “I used to book waxing appointments like it was a part-time job. The pain, the ingrowns, the stress.

Confused About Skincare Order? Here’s the Right Way
One of the most confusing things about skincare isn’t even the products themselves, it’s figuring out what goes first. Should serum come before moisturizer? Where does sunscreen fit in? And do you really need all ten steps influencers swear by? The truth is, a good skincare routine doesn’t have to be complicated. The general rule is simple: apply products from the lightest consistency to the heaviest. This helps your skin absorb each product properly without heavier formulas blocking lighter ones. Here’s the correct order for a basic skincare routine: CleanserAlways start with a clean face. Cleansing removes dirt, oil, sweat, and makeup so your other products can actually work. Toner (Optional)Toners can help hydrate the skin or target concerns like acne and excess oil, but they’re not mandatory. SerumThis is where treatment products go. Vitamin C serums are usually applied in the morning for brightening and protection, while hydrating or acne-fighting serums can be used depending on your skin concerns. MoisturizerMoisturizer locks in hydration and strengthens your skin barrier. Even oily skin needs it. Sunscreen (Morning Only)This is the most important skincare step. Sunscreen protects your skin from sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and premature aging. It should always be the final […] The post Confused About Skincare Order?

You’ve Seen It on the Runway, Now Here’s How to Actually Wear It
Ever seen a collection and wondered how the outfits are supposed to translate into real life wear? Between exaggerated silhouettes, dramatic layering, avant-garde styling, and sky-high heels that barely look walkable, runway fashion can sometimes feel more like performance art than everyday inspiration. But the truth is, some of the biggest fashion trends we wear daily were born on the runway first. The secret to wearing runway trends in real life is not copying the look exactly as it appeared on the catwalk. It is about interpreting the idea behind the trend in a way that fits your lifestyle, personal style, and wardrobe. Take sheer dressing, for example. On the runway, it may appear as a completely transparent dress styled with barely-there layers underneath. In real life, that could translate into a sheer blouse over a tank top, a mesh skirt layered over shorts, or transparent detailing on sleeves and hemlines. The essence of the trend remains, but the styling becomes wearable. The same applies to oversized tailoring. While designers may send exaggerated shoulders and dramatically wide trousers down the runway, you can embrace the trend with a relaxed blazer paired with fitted basics or slightly oversized pants styled with […] The post You’ve Seen It on the Runway, Now Here’s How to Actually Wear It appeared first on BN Style.

5 Accessories Every Lagos Girl Needs for the Rainy Season
Rainy season in Lagos could be its own chaos; the flooded streets in Lekki, surprise downpours in traffic, danfo splashes, humidity ruining your hair five minutes after leaving the house, and somehow still needing to look put together through it all. The key to surviving it stylishly is investing in accessories that are practical first, but still fashionable enough to work with your wardrobe. Here are five worth getting before the next heavy downpour catches you slipping. 1. A Large Waterproof Tote Bag During rainy season, your bag is carrying more than usual. Umbrella, slippers, charger, mini fan, makeup pouch, maybe even an extra top. A structured waterproof tote becomes essential. When shopping, look out for: Nylon or coated materials Dark colours that will not easily stain Enough room for daily essentials Zipper closures because Lagos rain does not respect open bags Avoid suede and untreated leather unless you enjoy heartbreak. 2.

Take Your No Makeup-Makeup Look to Night Glam in Four Steps
From office chic no makeup-makeup to date-night bomb, you really only need four items. Most people think transitioning makeup means starting over completely, but the easiest beauty routines are built on small changes that make a big difference. The first thing to touch up is your complexion. Instead of adding another heavy layer of foundation, use concealer only where needed, around the nose, under the eyes, or anywhere makeup faded during the day.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Letitia Sophia (@lletitia) Next comes blush. A deeper blush shade instantly warms up the face and makes your makeup feel more intentional for evening. Then switch your lip colour. Nude gloss for daytime can quickly become a brown liner and bold gloss combo or a richer lipstick at night. The biggest transformation usually comes from the eyes. Adding eyeliner or smoking out the outer corners with dark shadow changes the entire mood of your makeup without taking forever. And finally, highlighter. Not too much, just enough on the cheekbones and inner corners to bring everything back to life.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by UCHE NATORI (@uchjn) Good day-to-night makeup is […] The post Take Your No Makeup-Makeup Look to Night Glam in Four Steps appeared first on BN Style.

How to Start Wearing Heels Again Without Killing Your Feet
Everybody is wearing ballet flats, slippers to the club, and soft comfortable shoes have officially taken over. But bring back the heels and no, we don’t mean those tiny 2-inch kitten heels either. We’re talking proper heels that make you stand differently, walk differently, and suddenly want to take mirror pictures again. The problem is, after years of living in sneakers and flats, most people can barely survive two hours in heels without plotting their escape route home. The trick to wearing heels again is not suffering through it. It’s easing your feet back into them strategically. Start with block heels before jumping straight into stilettos. Your feet need stability first. Gel insoles will become your best friend, especially for pointed shoes, and if a shoe hurts the moment you try it on, it will not magically get better later. Another game changer? Stop saving heels only for all-day events. Wear them around the house for short periods to rebuild comfort and balance. Also, platform heels are secretly easier to walk in because they reduce pressure on the ball of your foot. And if you know you’ll be out for hours, carry foldable flats in your bag.

How to Layer Your Bodycare Properly for Glowing Skin
Everybody tells you how to care for your face, but nobody talks about body care nearly enough. Meanwhile, glowing skin does not stop at your jawline. A good body care routine is less about buying expensive products and more about understanding layering. The order matters more than people think. First things first, dry skin starts in the shower. If your soap leaves your skin feeling tight immediately after bathing, it may be stripping too much moisture. Hydrating body washes or shower oils work better, especially if your skin already leans dry. The real glow comes from layering products while your skin is still slightly damp. Start with a lightweight hydrating layer like a body serum or essence if you use one. Then go in with your moisturiser to seal everything in. Body oils should usually come last because oils lock moisture in, they do not hydrate on their own. Exfoliation also changes everything, but overdoing it can damage your skin barrier. Two to three times a week is enough for most people. Ingredients like lactic acid, glycolic acid, and urea help smooth rough texture without being too harsh. And if you want your skin to actually glow, sunscreen matters on […] The post How to Layer Your Bodycare Properly for Glowing Skin appeared first on BN Style.
