To the new Nyegians, the saying “Don’t judge a book by its cover” doesn’t work in the Nyege Nyege land. You will be judged for what you’re wearing in this festival.
To avoid that, you have to slay to boost your confidence. Imagine being in a land where everyone has their fashion game on point and yours is lacking. Well if you’re struggling with your Nyege Nyege wardrobe here are some tips to help you slay.
Consider Comfort
While packing for your Jinja trip, make sure your outfits scream comfort when you put them on. If the outfit doesn’t feel comfortable no matter the price or how classy it looks we don’t want to see it on you. Remember an outfit can either boost your confidence or ruin your day.
African outfits
Nyege Nyege is all about celebrating the African heritage and what better way to do that than adding a colourful kitengi short , dress or skirt to your wardrobe. You can blend it with a white or black light Tee.
Denim on Denim
Fans of denim? Here’s your chance to rock the look. Pair up your denim with either a light top or a spaghetti satin top and hit two birds with one stone. The denim will surely keep you warm in case it rains while the satin top will keep you cool when it gets hot.
Jumpers/sweaters
Born from the sheer madness of the rainy season, It is believed that it ain’t Nyege Nyege without rain. Don’t be caught off-guard! Carry a jumper, a sweater and/or truck jackets. It ain’t fun when you’re shivering.
Sneakers
We are aware that the earth is a ladies’ runway but please leave your heels at home. Trade each pair of heels for a comfortable pair of sneakers because you are going to do a lot of trekking. What is Nyege Nyege without adventure? PS: Carry a pair of comfy sandals or opens too.
