Like many countries that use skin tone as a means for judging a person, Nigerians will automatically assume your class based on your skin color. To attain that classy paleness associated with high status, many Nigerians, in general, will opt for skin bleaching treatments and products. Another interesting indication of being in the upper class is a meatier frame, with thinness being associated with illness and poverty. Therefore, the bigger the better when it comes to Nigerian beauty and status.

In contrast to Nigerian women, the thinner you are in Romania, the better. This means that many women take to unhealthy habits such as smoking and extreme dieting to meet the standards. Further, Western beauty standards have infiltrated Romanian culture, meaning that cosmetic surgery is the norm. On a more alarming note, all female employees are expected to look their best, meaning that even teachers will frequently be seen teaching in their classrooms dressed to impressed. Conversely, women are shamed for dressing immodestly, as showing too much skin is a red flag. Lengthy hair, manicured nails, and an hourglass figure are all preferable.
