When I was a little girl, my aunts would send me the most beautiful
clothes from Nigeria, where we are from. I remember loving the fabrics
but feeling like the outfits weren’t necessarily styles that I could
wear every day. I always craved trendy clothing made from African
fabrics. When I had more time, I would make Ankara pieces for myself but
these days I’m too busy. Thankfully, the internet has come to my rescue
and now its pretty easy for me to purchase plus size Ankara clothing in
trendy/modern styles.
I’ve been mixing and matching my new African Wax/Ankara Print pieces into my wardrobe at work and on the weekends and here are some tips on how to wear African Ankara Prints anywhere!
Peplum is a great silhouette for the office in any print. I purchased this Ankara peplum top because I knew it would work well with a simple pencil skirt. This look is chic, professional but still lets me rock my Nigerian girl style!
I wore this Ankara maxi skirt during the NYCurvyCloset Sale this past weekend. I paired it with my favorite plus size denim chambray shirt. The denim gave me relaxed look that still felt put together. This skirt also has nice deep pockets so I was able to keep my phone and other essentials close to me while meeting some of my awesome readers

Remember the other week when I was rocking vintage skirts and Tshirts?
Welp, that rule easily applies with African prints. A simple black
T-shirt let this tea length teal Ankara skirt speak for its self! Again,
this skirt had pockets so yay!!
This skirt was actually part of a two piece
mixed Ankara set that I ordered for under $100. I snatched up the two
piece set quickly because I can tuck the top into a plain skirt too
(maybe a long black maxi? or even my black tutu!), that gives me at
least three different ways to wear this set… winning! This look got me
featured in Ebony‘s “5 Plus Size Women Killing it at Fashion Week” round up!
Keep in mind that the pieces I ordered were
hand made and most of them came from West Africa, so it took about 4
weeks for them to arrive… but it was sooo worth it!!
What do you think? Are these looks that you could see yourself rocking?
