If you’ve been scrolling through your social media feed and found yourself captivated by Tems’ looks, you’re not alone. The Nigerian superstar has become a style icon, blending that unmistakable ‘African baddie’ energy with ’90s grunge’ and ‘Y2K Nollywood fashion’. Her eclectic fashion choices and unapologetic vibe have captured the hearts of young people everywhere. So, if you’re ready to channel her effortless cool looks, here’s your guide to dressing like Tems.
Baggy trousers for big vibes
Think oversized, relaxed, and effortlessly stylish. Baggy trousers are a Tems staple. The trick is to find a pair that hangs just right—slouchy but still flattering. Pair them with a cropped top or a corset for that chic, undone vibe Tems pulls off so well.
Tank tops with a twist
Tank tops, a wardrobe basic, are anything but when Tems wears them. She puts a spin on the classic look, tying it at the back to create a playful, flirty, laid-back silhouette. This small detail makes a huge impact, transforming a simple piece into something uniquely hers.
Fur coats for drama
Tems knows how to make an entrance with a fur coat (faux, of course), which adds extra flair to any outfit. It’s all about the drama, darling. Drape it over your shoulders with a fitted bodycon dress or pair it with leather trousers to balance the luxury feel with a bit of edge.
Bodycon dresses for oomph
Tems’ bodycon moments are all about confidence. Think sleek, simple lines that hug your curves in all the right places. Whether mini or midi, the key is to keep it sophisticated yet sultry. This look is perfect for nights out or any event you want to channel your inner star.
Leather pants for edge
Nothing says ‘grunge goddess’ like a pair of leather pants. Go for a high-waisted style to elongate your legs and keep the rest of your look pared down. Tems might pair them with a patterned bodysuit or a chic, fitted cropped top for that effortlessly cool vibe.
Signature braided hairdo for that slay
No Tems-inspired look would be complete without her signature braided hairstyle. Whether it’s Bantu braids, two-braided puffs, or Fulani braids, the choice is yours. Her braided hair is always on point, perfectly complementing her bold fashion choices.
Scarves for flair
Tems often adds a scarf to her outfits, which adds a bold and stylish touch. This accessory not only enhances her look but also adds a layer of elegance and personality to her outfit. Whether a vibrant print or a sleek, monochromatic piece, a headscarf can transform your outfit and give it that distinctive Tems edge.
Nude and dark-lined lips for the win
When it comes to her lips, Tems keeps it chic with nude shades and bold with dark-lined lips. A touch of gloss or matte finish will complete the look, giving you that sultry yet approachable vibe she nails every time.
