Ankara tops on a pair of jeans, for instance, is all that is needed to look pretty glam and stylish without too much effort. The art of beauty and fashion has evolved to make things much so simpler.
Infact, you do not need to wear the traditional George or aso-oke to get the approval of a rather conservative fashion public these days. Simple is the new fashion.
All the craze for headgear or ‘gele’ as it also known has fizzled out to become something much simpler. Ankara tops are now key part of fashion trends in Nigeria and for most parts of Africa, if not beyond the continent.
What is equally crucial is that the issue of affordability has been effectively dealt with. Now, more than in the past, it is completely effortless to get quality fabrics and have a good designer do a great job.
You can have an Ankara fabric, lace, or any other for that matter and with little money sew a quality outfit of choice.
To have that overly eccentric look, you may prepare a simple kimono. But if you want to stay simple, then a simple blouse will do, with or without peplum fittings.
You can practically have that and wear a simple pair of jeans. You may also slip into a simple pair of flat shoes or even those with heels. Or, in the alternative, you can slip into a pair of sneakers to give you that smart and gorgeous look that will make heads turn.
Being simple and fashionable these days seems the real deal. And there is no headache in having that done. You can dress this way to informal occasions such as weddings, get-together, and other forms of parties.
The objective is to look beautiful, smart and trendy, not to leave out sharp.
