How To Mix Your Ankara With Other Fabrics To Look Elegant

Combining Ankara with other textiles is a fantastic way to make a statement. These are some suggestions on how to go about it:

Combine your Ankara with solid-colored fabrics by selecting one that either complements or contrasts the print. That way, the Ankara print will stand out more, and the outfit will look more put together. For instance, most Ankara prints may be made to look good when paired with a solid black or white cloth.

Since Ankara prints tend to be bright and flamboyant, it's best to pair them with a more subdued fabric. The Ankara print will really pop off of a solid cotton or silk background.

Instead of making a full outfit out of Ankara cloth, use it as an accessory. You can use Ankara fabric for the collar and pocket of a dress, for instance, or add Ankara cuffs to an otherwise simple shirt. This will brighten up your look and make you stand out.

If you're feeling daring, try combining Ankara prints with a different print or fabric texture. However, keep an eye on the proportions and make sure the designs go well together. Try to find a unifying theme, such as a colour or pattern, that runs through all the fabrics.



Try out new styles; you can make anything from dresses and skirts to blazers and accessories out of Ankara cloth. Don't be afraid to experiment with different cuts and designs to find your perfect outfit.



Always keep in mind that both fashion and individual taste are highly subjective. It's all about showing off your individuality and self-assurance through your choice of how to pair Ankara with other materials. Just go with the flow and enjoy expressing your individuality via fashion.
