ANKARA TWIST BY KUYET BAMAI
The Ankara style has long been in the men ’ s camp , we have people like Jidenna
making this trend a die for with the way he styles it and his design choice too . In my opinion however I think it ’ s important to choose a fabric type that fits your color and not something too feminine , look out for designs with vertical or horizontal lines mostly shapes or animals , it ’ s a little bit safe to use a color guide too , brown , blue , red , yellow , Grey and white are good colors to go for . Well for me I played safe with just two colors ( blue and white )
This was what I wore to the Denim symposium which I will talk about here . I got pictures of it taken by a few people who really liked the design but had no idea it was Ankara , but hey its Ankara designed by me , yes I design too ( I ’ m the full package )
Another thing about styling an Ankara piece is considering the design , is it a long sleeved shirt ? A kaftan ? Or , a long top ? This was actually a long sleeved kaftan but I tucked it in , I am weird like that hugh !! Well welcome to the style lane .
Styling this was not much of a struggle , just brown shoes by sebago and my brown brief bag , I wore a hat too but just decided to take a little hat break . I have plans to add to my ankara collection , I have loads of designs to use already . Most men don ’ t find the Ankara fabric as fashion friendly because its tagged as a woman ’ s wrapper but bro get on board with the trend
