In the typical African (Nigerian) setting the word is sometimes confused to be a pidgin word, heck some words used and associated with the Nigerian environs haven’t been formally identified with its origin hence some folks do not bother to find out if they are really English words or a slang developed over time. Pinafore is definitely an English word.

What is a Pinafore?

A collarless sleeveless dress worn over a blouse or shirt.

Pinafores may be worn by girls as a decorative garment and by both girls and women as a protective apron. A related term is pinafore dress (known as a jumper in American English), i.e. a sleeveless dress intended to be worn over a top or blouse. A key difference between a pinafore and a jumper dress is that the pinafore is open in the back. In informal British usage, however, a pinafore dress is sometimes referred to as simply a pinafore, which can lead to confusion.

Enough with the boring details….

The pinafore in this region have typically been associated with Secondary/High school and boarding house Set-ups. Therefore unconsciously isolates the attire as one not to be explored, ventured or recreated. Let’s be realistic, how many times have you considered the pinafore a fashion choice for an occasion? Hardly, right?!

Today, we want to visually wipe this stereotype. Pinafores don’t have to be boring, they can be fun too and worn to suit each unique style.
