How to Style Ankara for Work, Weddings, and Weekends

Ankara is one of Africa’s most versatile fabrics—and the good news is, it’s not just for traditional events. Whether you’re headed to a boardroom, a church wedding, or a weekend hangout, there’s an Ankara piece for every occasion.

For Work

  • Ankara Blazer or Skirt: Pair with a plain blouse and heels. Stick to muted prints or dark colors for a more professional look.

  • Shift Dress: A knee-length, tailored Ankara dress with minimal patterns works well in office settings.

Style Tip: Mix Ankara with solid-colored pieces like white shirts or black pants to keep it work-appropriate.

For Weddings

  • Gowns & Gele: Go all out with elaborate Ankara gowns featuring ruffles, peplum, or fishtail hems. A matching headwrap completes the regal look.

  • Couple Co-ords: Matching outfits with your partner in complementing prints are always a hit at weddings.

Style Tip: Accessorize with metallic jewelry, a clutch, and heels to elevate your wedding look.

For Weekends

  • Jumpsuits & Rompers: Easy and playful—perfect for a casual day out or brunch with friends.

  • Wrap Skirts & Crop Tops: Style with sneakers or sandals for effortless chic.

Style Tip: Mix Ankara with denim for a youthful and urban vibe. Try an Ankara kimono over jeans and a tank top.

Ankara isn’t just clothing—it’s a form of expression. So don’t be afraid to experiment, personalize, and shine.
