Social media users share thoughts
The responses were a mix of those for and against it.
Check them out below:
@YoNikkie:
"I understand the love for crocs, I really do, but please don’t wear it on a date with someone you really like. You can wear it when you don’t really like the person."
@OritsesanT:
"Why not? I wear crocs all the time to everywhere they’re super comfy."
@tolanitosyne:
"Crocs are too casual for a date. A fine slippers & palm for the guy is okay."
@timgreyyy:
"Depends on the quality of the Crocs & dressing IMO."
@dans_jesse:
"It doesn't really matter, tbh. Comfort should be one's priority before anything else."
@Lovearth232:
"I really don’t anything wrong with crocs on a date!!, casual dressing will def go with it.. unless it’s like a dinner date or fancy fancy."
@TaylorHenny1:
"First date ? No."
@debola_00:
"Honestly no it’s not appropriate…."
@Havillaah:
"I don’t think it’s casual. Am I comfortable is the first question I ask when I buy, make or put on a dress. So if you are comfortable and look presentable at the same time then it’s a go for me."
It is inappropriate to wear crocs on dates - Style blogger says
Fast-rising Nigerian fashion blogger, Vincent Ebuka, in a chat with Legit.ng's Kumashe Yaakugh, shared his thoughts on the appropriateness of crocs.
In his words:
"It’s inappropriate to wear crocs to any date, in as much as everyone has their styles there are things we are not meant to wear on a date. It’s a date and not market. I believe every date has its look and I don’t see crocs falling in any of them. There are people that like street wears but on their wedding day they wear suit because that’s what is required of them."
Nigerians discuss celebrity style choices for burials, slam 'inappropriately-dressed' guests
The funeral ceremony of Don Jazzy's mother was more of a celebration of life which saw numerous guests in attendance.
Most of the celebrities sported at the event were dressed in unique and head-turning styles.
The event undoubtedly had some fashion moments, from dramatic openings on their dresses to plunging necklines.
However, not everyone is impressed with the nature of the styles chosen for the event, which at the core of everything, was a burial ceremony.
