TEEz ME

Nigerian designers are not all about ankara and elaborate dresses.
Some designers have decided to explore the world of casual wear or lounge wear or sports wear as some people call it.
Whatever you call it, one thing is clear - these tees, hoodies, jersey dresses and cashmere tops are anything but boring. They all have that added kick and spice that is quintessentially Nigerian.
Check out my fav Nigerian casual wear designers - TEEz ME, TEEz ME, TEEz ME...baby!
