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
