Well I think my kind of person is a little bit different, I see most people making choice of clothes but for me, I can wear any kind of moderate dress that belongs to a man as long as it's covering my nakedness.
As long as the cloth is not too heavy, if I can easily wear and get it off, I'm good with it. Nevertheless I still have some clothes that I love to wear. I love wearing jeans and polo, it's still my best except if I'm going for a function or going to church then I would prefer native, senator materials to be precise.
Some people dress base on their religion, due to some people's dressing you can easily say the kind of religion they belong to, for instance there are some set of people that wear long skirts, big blouse that covers almost all the part of their body and then tie scarf, we call them SU, meaning scripture union, these particular kind of people are known to be Christians or deeper life members they also dress that way.
Also when you see a lady that put on hijab, you will easily know that she's a muslim, though not all Muslims also put it on and not all Christians dress like SU, only people who think it's necessary.
With the way I dress, one an easily guess my tribe that I'm a Yoruba boy, though I don't like Ankara, whenever I wear it I feel uncomfortable and there's this feeling I have that someone might have that kind of design too.
Just like the last time I wore one, to my greatest surprise I saw two other people wearing the same kind of Ankara I was wearing, I knew I had fucked up already, it was too late if not I would have go back home to change lols.
But if it's senator materials even if we're wearing the same colour, I still prefer it to wearing the same Ankara design with someone else. I can only wear it if it's taken as a uniform for a function, probably a wedding ceremony, burial ceremony, asides that Ankara is a no go area for me.
Normally I like living a low-key profile, I don't like causing attraction or causing attention with my dressing, I prefer wearing simple dress. Sometimes when I buy some clothes I feel like why do I buy this cloth in the first instance, maybe the clothes looks flashy kind of, it might take me sometime before I would finally wear it, there's a particular one in my wardrobe now that I'm still thinking of when to when it, the cloth is nice but it's somehow against my kind of cloth maybe someday when I summon courage I'll wear it lols, it's kind of weird but that's me. Simple dress all the way.
Maybe when I finally become very rich, I might be going about with shorts and just polo without people noticing that I'm a billionaire, we never can tell maybe that's what I'm practicing now lols.
I can't say about my childhood but ever since I start buying cloth for myself, I prefer going for simple dress than flashy dress that will make people to notice me easily.

I have the same reaction to Ankara and native wears as a whole. I have only one native wear in my wardrobe and the last time I wore that was sometime in 2018 or thereabout. Haha. I just can't bring myself to wear it. I mostly wear jeans, especially when I'm travelling.
Ohh I thought I was the only one oo, jeans all th way jare my brother. Lols
