Over the years, GhanaCelebrities.Com has covered several Ghanaian events and has published photos from these events with reoccurring fashion disasters from mostly the women. Going through photos from events can be fun and also can help in stealing some fashion tips or ideas, but what I’ve seen coming from Ghana is nothing more than tackiness—over and over again.
I am yet to meet someone who will disagree with me that most of these women (both young and old) that step out of their houses to events in Ghana have no sense or understanding of fashion, they equate looking trashy and near naked to sexiness and probably stunning.
Constantly, going through such events photos—be it a concert or an award show pushes us to ask the question; don’t these people have mirrors in their houses? Even if they did not have mirrors, what about friends?
Occasionally, you see a group of friends tackily dressed with one of them being the real Queen of tackiness, all posing for the cameras. And then there are those times you will see two friends, one decently dressed and the other looking like a mad woman on the streets of Adabraka. Couldn’t the neatly dressed friend have mentioned to the other that her outfit was out of place, I mostly ask myself…
The sad part of this act of stepping out in absolute tackiness is that, it is not a group of people who appear everywhere with their trashy outfits. But at each event, you see knew faces whose sense of style are capable of making you throw up—yeah it is that bad.
I don’t want to buy into the assumption that most of these women are call girls desperately looking for customers since the last time I met a call girl in Accra, she was neatly dressed, in comparison with those we see at these events.
Fashion is not that difficult, keep it simple and decent. If you are not sure about what you want to wear and whether what you will wear will fall within the scope of tackiness, just play it safe by wearing a jeans trouser and a normal top.
I do not even have to talk about the sort of scary make-ups we see at these events, because there is a general consensus that some of these women use paint and paint brushes to fix their make-ups.
It is time Ghanaian women start checking their outfits and general appearances before stepping out for events—because the internet is taking these photos FAR.
Better still, event organisers should have strict dress codes and kick out those who come looking like clowns and low life call girls. Some are beyond the word SHAME!
