Wearing the Amazing Ankara for a Beautiful Traditional Look
Ankara is a type of fabric
traditionally worn by women in Africa, especially Nigeria. It comes in
beautiful colours and designs. For those who don’t have any idea about this
great African fabric, Ankara is the name of the popular, cotton fabric
extensively worn by Africans. Some people call it Ankara print, wax, or simply
‘wax’ or ‘print’. Ankara is synonymous with traditional wear in Nigeria, and it
is one of the cheapest fabrics in the Nigerian fabric industry. Popular brands
of this fabric include: Vlisco wax, Uniwax, Ghana wax, English wax, Dutch wax,
Nigerian wax, Wood in print and a whole lot of other African print fabric
brands. The Nigerian fashion industry has fully embraced the use of our very
own African Print fabric, and it has surely become a force to reckon with and
it seems there is an insatiable taste for the colourful fabric to be used for
anything and everything. Ankara can now be used to create the most beautiful
and breath-taking fashion accessories for a head-to-toe adornment.
There’s this beautiful feeling
that Ankara adds to an outfit any day. And a simple way to add flavour is by
wearing accessories designed with Ankara fabric. In Nigeria, there is a wide
variety of Ankara accessories ranging from handbags, bangles and rings, to belts,
earrings, clutch bags sandals, shoes and many more. These Ankara accessories,
put together with the right outfit, are perfect for any and every occasion.
They give you a show-stopping look! Ankara accessories can be paired with
dresses of all types: plain T-shirt, jeans, and printed blouse or dresses; but
be careful not to wear with bold or busy pattern because the accessories
already have a lot of detailing. Ankara statement jewellery can be worn on
formal clothes as well, and the look would still add up perfectly.
Many accessory designers in Nigeria are
creating wonderful items out of Ankara, and it’s even more interesting to know
that they are all very affordable and accessible too. Nigerians are fashion
freaks and the creative minds of our fashion designers will never cease to amaze
us. These days, it is not uncommon to see designers displaying colourful and
attractive Ankara accessories in sheer, graceful fabric, with ruffle lace trimming
and slips. Ankara accessories are versatile pieces and they can be dressed up
or down depending on the occasion. The Ankara accessories have become trendier
and smarter these days. In the last few years, Ankara fashion has gradually
found its way back onto the scene, although it is not as daring as it used to
be. Ankara is one clothing material that stands out at any given time, be it
formal or an informal occasion.
