To a chic lady, ankara pants aren’t just trousers made with ankara fabric. They are an opportunity to make a fashion statement while representing the African culture.

They come as ankara palazzos, joggers, tapered pants, bell bottoms, etc. And because these pants are usually multicolored, you don’t have to do much when pairing them. But how does this play out?

This is a safe way to style your ankara trousers. T-shirts and turtlenecks are a great choice especially when they come in solid colors.

You can pair your ankara trousers with any style or length of T-shirt. You can also go for a solid color or pick a bright color that will look great with your ankara print.

To be sure of this, you should work with the color palette of your pants since the print is multicolored. 

2. Wear with a  Shirt

Another common way to rock ankara trousers is to pair them with a shirt. You can go for a neutral or bright-colored shirt so long as it matches with your pants.

To add more accents, ensure your shirt has some details. It could be peplum, drape, ruches, a plunging neckline, or a floral attachment around the bodice.

3. Layer with Outerwear

Your denim jacket, blazer, kimono, duster, come in here. You can pair them with your ankara pants to create a chic look.

You can also layer with a button-down shirt by simply leaving the buttons unfastened.

I love to show my camisole, tank top, or bandeau underneath when I layer. That way, I show some skin and add more color while covering up. 

4. Coordinate Your Look

This is one safe way to rock ankara pants. While making your trousers, ask your tailor to also make a top for you. The result will be a stylish ankara two-piece outfit.

Writing has always been a part of me. From writing stories as a young child to studying Communication Arts in the university, it has always been more than a medium of expression to me.

And then one day, I found myself toeing the path of an entrepreneur and becoming a fashion enthusiast. This made me develop an interest in content marketing and copywriting which I've been chasing alongside my fashion career.

That aside, when I'm not sharing style articles, selling with stories, or creating fashion-forward pieces for Ria Kosher, you'll find me telling wild stories that always come with a twist.
