A Review on The 2023 Kpako Collection

It’s one thing for a fashionable piece to be beautiful, elegant, and stylish and another for it to be appealing. A lovely garment may garner attention and admiration, but when a piece of clothing is appealing, it is a different conversation. It is the idea of being loved, psyched about, and wanted.

When you look appealing in a dress, this helps you make connections with more people. It builds your confidence and makes you stand out for all the good reasons.

Two entities make a piece of clothing have appeal: the creative design and the styling. One of the fashion brands in Lagos that has mastered the skill of making appealing designs is Wear Kpako.

Wear Kpako is a fashion brand that makes beautiful clothing and dresses that are appealing. It is little wonder they have garnered more customers than their counterparts. Wear Kpako is one of the trendy fashion brands in Lagos. Their fashion outfits are just as unique as their name. Wear Kpako is committed to creating fashion products tailored for both athletic and leisure enthusiasts. The brand aims to mix style with lasting quality.

Kpako

Wear Kpako is all about designing outfits that feel great to wear, comfortable, and stylish. Their collections include a display of clothing items such as tracksuits, t-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, pants, and shorts. These pieces seamlessly go from athletic to casual designs, which makes them suitable for the workplace, school, and social engagements.

Wear Kpako allows people to express their unique style while enjoying great comfort, proving that fashion can be practical without sacrificing aesthetics. Its unique value lies in its dedication to crafting comfortable and fashionable outfits for everyone.

Understandably, a great wardrobe begins with the right dresses, and this is why Wear Kpako focuses on creating comfortable clothing in different sizes and styles and catering to the needs of all body types.

Kpako

Several key factors shape this brand: its ability to recognise that millennials are the driving force behind fashion trends, embrace health-conscious lifestyles, and seek stylish yet functional apparel.

The brains behind the creativity of Wear Kpako are Tamilore Bashir Nwaobiara and Oluwatobiloba Adeniyi Oderinde. They founded this unique brand in 2018 with their creative partnership and have become trendsetters in their industry.

This 2023 Kpako Collections is proof of this brand’s creative capability. It showcases outfits in various contemporary blends of style, beauty and class. It’s a collection that will resonate more with the younger generation and probably with some older generation who love to slay or who love to look younger than their age.

The first outfit, this beautiful, well-styled outfit, is one of the 2023 Kpako Collection. It is a zipped-down two-piece set- a hoodless jacket and trousers. The zip seems to be made of metal, and it has a pair of stylishly made chest pockets on both sides.

It’s a plain brown colour with whitish hues to reveal the special logos on the shirt. It has a pair of long sleeves that are loosely fitted with a regular silhouette. This jacket will relate to young people who love to slay in their outfits.

On the downside, the jacket and trousers look too plain. An addition of more embellishments and special designs would have given a more assorted look. Also, it is a garment that will be selected only by some of the younger generation, and this is just a fraction of the fashion market.

However, it is an outfit that will be very suitable for parties, as well as religious gatherings. It will be appropriate for casual outings and also for weekend hangouts.

For colours, the beauty of the chosen colour is that it exudes confidence and a typical kind of swag. It gives the observer the impression of a playful danger, carefree but serious at the same time. But then, the sleeves are baggy, and this gives it a voluminous look, especially when zipped up. The designer may want to look towards making it prim and proper.

For fitness, the jacket is in a harmonious proportion; the shoulders are balanced, and the sleeves are in equal proportion. There is a good balance in the arrangement of its elements as well. But again, it has its downside.

The jacket isn’t very visually appealing. It looks bland due to the use of a single colour, and it lacks additional interesting features. Plus, the design isn’t fresh or innovative; it’s an easy come-by outfit – a derivative garment style.
Overall, the fabric choice seems to be appropriate for the design, style and intended use of the outfit. The seams are straight and even, and there are no skipped stitches or uneven tension.

For this Jacket ensemble, one can say that the jacket hangs well in a balanced position, and there is a gracefulness about it. It appears to be comfortable to wear, easy to put on and off, and there is no awkwardness about it.

The outfit is a perfect choice for a matching combo with a friend. The plainness of the colour, the exact logos and the regular vibe all work well. The rear view carries some inscriptions and a diagram. The inscriptions are accentuated in brown, red, blue and burnt yellow.

However, the diagram and inscription seem like they’re for a social movement; this may not resonate with some potential customers, like the older audience.

If this outfit is suitably worn with sandals or boots, it will give a youthful feel and a ready-to-party vibe. It will also give the impression of wealth, class and style. However, the designers’ lack of creativity in styling gives it a common vibe.

Additionally, the inscriptions may be a problem where sales are concerned because some people don’t want to feel like they are part of a social movement they have no clarity about. This may deter people from making a purchase.

For recommendation, the designer should be subtle with the inscription in order not to lose out on the market share.
The outfit may be suitable for casual get-togethers but with the exception of a beach outing. It will be appropriate for parties because of its essence and swag, but it won’t be suitable for most official work or corporate parties. It will feel okay for exclusive fashion and entertainment shows.

Ultimately, the 2023 collection lacks depth and creativity. It appears that Oluwatobiloba played it safe. There was no creative push or anything extra. Unlike his past designs that have multiple wow effects, like the hoodie and denim-on-denim ensemble, this year’s collection was nothing out of the ordinary.

This collection has a lot of downsides. You might walk into an exclusive party and find someone else wearing your exact outfit. The outfit is not well invested creatively in such a way that it will come in unique pieces. You may feel awkward seeing someone else sharing your outfit design at a function; it gives your garment a common and regular vibe, and this is not the essence of fashion. Fashionable pieces should make you stand out and not blend in.

The plainness of its colours gives it a uniform look, which may not sit well with people who love to stand out in the way they look. We hope to see more creative pieces from Wear Kapko in their next year’s collection.
