Over the years, the Ankara fabric has gone from being just a trend to an all round wardrobe staple. The reason is that manufacturers keep coming out with modern and tasteful prints to suit our everyday style. To make it even more refined, designers are taking their creativity up several notches by tailoring every woman's need - no matter what her style is.

Once a trend transitions to being a staple, there comes the need to constantly seek new ways to keep it looking stylish. This scenario very much applies to Ankara which is why we will be spilling details on how to style the print!

Pair Ankara With Plains

Pairing your Ankara pieces with plains is always an option to style them. It might seem cliche but it actually works. Style your Ankara separates with classics like a white shirt with stand out details like drapes, frills or pleats. Then you can add accessories to spruce your look up. This option saves the day all the time for women who don't know the trick to clashing prints yet.

Clash Your Ankara Prints 

Clashing Ankara prints might not seem easy but it is not rocket science - trust us! All you have to do is to take note of a few details. The first detail to take note of is the colour scheme. Try to clash prints with the same colours, complementary or analogous colours. That way, you'll have a cohesive look. Also, you need to take note of the shapes that each separate comes in. This just helps to achieve a balanced look.

Pair Ankara With Neutral Prints

Apart from playing it cool with plains and going all out with double dose of Ankara, you can also sit on the fence if both options don't quite appeal to you. What I mean by that is using prints like polka dots, gingham and stripes as neutralizers when ever you decide to wear Ankara. This way you can still make statements in a toned-down way.
