How To Mix Your Ankara With Other Fabrics To Look Elegant

Mix Ankara with other materials like , lace, silk, satin, organza, and duchess linens to take your outfits to the next level. In this post, you will learn how to combine Ankara with other textiles to create a beautiful design.

Mixing Ankara with lace is one way to dress up your clothes. When worn together, a lace top and an Ankara skirt, or vice versa, create a striking pattern and textural contrast. Lace fabric adds a touch of softness and sophistication to the outfit, bringing out the bright Ankara prints even more.






Silk complements a wide range of fabrics, not just Ankara. Adding silk to your Ankara apparel will give you a more polished appearance. You might accessorize your Ankara dress with a silk belt, scarf, or sleeve. The glossy shine and smooth hand of the silk compliment the vibrant designs on the Ankara fabric well, producing a classy overall impression.






The luster and fluidity of satin complement the bright designs of Ankara, an African fabric. Combining Ankara pants or a skirt with a satin top creates a sophisticated and attractive style. The fluid satin fabric combined with the strong, bright Ankara designs lends a dazzling touch to your attire, making it appropriate for both formal and semi-formal settings.







For a more light and refined effect, add organza over Ankara. You can add organza frills or sleeves to your Ankara dress, or layer it with a shawl or jacket. With its daring Ankara patterns and light organza overlay, this stunning gown oozes grace and elegance.



Combining Ankara with duchess fabric would make your outfit look stylish and opulent. The duchess fabric used to make Ankara peplum tops, skirts, and even floor-length dresses is known for its strength and opulence. When the more formal duchess fabric is combined with the more joyous designs of Ankara, the outcome is red carpet clothing.
