Youth fashion in Nigeria is all about wearing the craziest clothes and having fun with wild combinations. Students like Aderonke Adedeji at the University of Lagos enjoy dressing outrageously because it makes her stand out and she said it makes her feel like a celebrity.

Looking outrageous is clearly the new style that is in vogue in Nigeria as young people will go to great length to copy their favorite celebrity looks. Chinasa Okoye, the owner of the Sleek Look Salon in Lagos , has been doing great business in colored hair attachments lately. She doesn't really understand why the young women are desperate to get their hands on these hair crazy hair extensions, but is happy to provide a service that allows them to express themselves in a way that makes them happy.

It has become a common site at malls everywhere to see 40 year old women wearing very young clothing styles from stores like Forever 21 and Wet Seal, including items like tight tank tops, low-rise jeans, plastic bangles and metallic platform heels. Older women who are in great shape can still pull off this look, but the question is should they. According to celebrity stylist Ricci DeMartino, the answer is definitely not.

He says it makes it look like you're trying too hard to look young, and it comes off as overcompensating. One of the items that looks best on young people, for example, is the message T-shirt. These become popular a few years ago, fueled by young Hollywood trendsetters, but proclaiming to the world that "Your Boyfriend Thinks I'm Hot" on your T-shirt, for example, comes across as more than a little immature and desperate.
