1. Casual street sneakers

Everyone needs casual street sneakers, irrespective of how old you think you are. How else do you intend to dress when going to the bar on a Saturday? You need shoes that can be used for day-to-day runs like going to Shoprite or when going for a car wash. These sneakers are like the Toyotas of shoes: super comfortable and always reliable.

2. Flip-flops

Also known as casual “sleeps”. Flip Flops are those well designed slippers you can wear around the house or on shorts at the beach. They are usually more elegant than the average slippers and look more exquisite due to their designs. They come in different designs and colors like blue, black and brown flip-flops. Wearing flip flops as a Nigerian gives you that comfortable and stylish look when you are on casuals and they could be a fashion statement, if you can find some very well designed pairs.
