How to Style Ghanaian Prints for Every Occasion
Ankara, kente, and adinkra prints are wardrobe staples in Ghana, but styling them can be tricky. Here’s how to wear them for any event—from casual outings to formal gatherings
1. Office Chic
- Opt for a tailored Ankara pencil skirt with a crisp white blouse.
- Keep accessories minimal (e.g., gold studs and a sleek bun).
2. Casual Weekend Look
- Pair Ankara shorts with a tucked-in graphic tee and sandals.
- Add a straw bag for a relaxed yet stylish vibe.
3. Wedding Guest Glam
- A mermaid-style kente gown with delicate beadwork is perfect.
- Tip: Match your headwrap (gele) to your outfit for a polished finish.
4. Streetwear Edge
- Mix a batakari top with distressed jeans and chunky sneakers.
- Add a crossbody bag for a modern touch.
5. Beach Vacation Ready
- A flowy adinkra-print maxi dress with wooden bangles is ideal.
- Complete the look with braided hair and sunglasses.
Ghanaian prints are versatile—dress them up or down to suit any occasion!
