5 Ankara Outfits For The Holiday Season

This time of year always seems to have a very full social calendar. From weddings to graduations, office parties, Christmas parties to meeting the in-laws, not to mention spending time with your loved ones. With tailors and designers getting more and more creative with Ankara designs, why not incorporate these in your holiday outfits? Below I have selected 5 outfits to help you get celebration ready.

Outfit 1: Office party


For this year's office party you need not restrict yourself to dark coloured outfits. Why not opt for an ankara pants with a matching peplum top that is sure to leave your colleagues admiring your creativity.


And if trousers aren't your thing, make a statement with a one-of-a-kind skirt with a contrasting top.

Outfit 2: Meeting the in-laws
I usually think that when you have to meet the in-laws you want something respectful that will not offend anyone. Maxi skirts are a great, not to mention safe bet. Get one in your favourite colour combination and pair it with a simple top. You can add some personality with a gold belt, some chunky jewellery and matching headgear.

Outfit 3: Wedding

Wedding season is upon us and nothing screams wedding attire like a statement ankara outfit. A flared skirt with an equally stunning top will leave other wedding guests asking you where you got your outfit made. And in keeping with the stunning theme, ensure you have a well-thought out hairstyle be it braids, a weave or your own hair.

Outfit 4: Graduation

I like to think that your graduation is one time you can push boundaries with little to no judgement. Even if you have to cover-up with your gown, make sure that when you do remove it, your dress makes the best statement of the year. Not everyone gets a chance to graduate so savour the moment. Get a matching clutch bag that can still make the much needed statement even when your dress is hidden.

Outfit 5: Christmas Lunch

If you celebrate Christmas like I do, it means that for that day at least you will not count how many calories you have eaten. A nice simple free dress like this will keep your food baby hidden without forcing you to abandon your carefully thought out Christmas outfit for an old t-shirt.

My Style: Mad About Denim

 I feel like I have put up soo many denim-related outfits of late but that's because I live in jeans. I can't help it. Let's talk about these particular jeans. They are high-waisted and have a zip that runs half-way up the calf and the fact that they stretch a little really adds to their charm. I paired them with a blue multi-layered top which I found to be so cute and feminine and topped it all off with my striped blue blazer. I love the cropped style and fit of this blazer. It instantly smartens up any outfit that I pair it with. For shoes, I opted for my grey sneakers which I first appeared on the blog here . Pops of red, in the form of lipstick and a necklace, added some more colour and brightness to the outfit.   Outfit Details: Jeans: Borrowed from my sis (Thrifted, Gikomba Market) Top and Blazer: Thrifted, Gikomba Market Shoes: Bus Station, Nairobi Earrings: Gift Necklace: Thrift Away (Instagram) Thank you for stopping by. xo

ABOUT

Hi, I'm Audrey. Welcome to Inches To Style☺ How it started I fell in love with fashion at an early age. In fact, I wanted to be a model and when I realised that I wouldn’t make the cut because of my height, I decided that I would become a fashion designer. I’d been making clothes for my dolls for years so I knew that was a career path I would love to pursue.  I didn’t study fashion nor did I become a fashion designer but my love for clothes and putting outfits together stuck with me.  On September 12, 2011 I wrote my first blog post, after I discovered the world of fashion blogs and got hooked. I thought to myself, “I can do this! I like writing and I like fashion, so why not?” And so Inches To Style was born. What to expect from the blog At first, I wanted this blog to be a source of inspiration for anyone looking to up their style game. As time progressed and my personal style and lifestyle has evolved, I found the name of my blog quite fitting as I’m moving inches (closer) ...

HOW TO: Wear A Pencil Skirt | With a T-Shirt and Statement Necklace

Hello lovelies! My quest to learn how to style a pencil skirt continues. I was selling this skirt ( on Botique i2s ) some time ago but I didn't get someone to buy it. So I added it to my arsenal. I have worn it twice since. I previously paired it with a white button down shirt. For last Sunday's Church outfit, I wore it with a chocolate brown t-shirt and added a statement necklace to dress up the outfit a little. My tan brown wedges have finally made a reappearance on the blog. A lime green and brown turban completed the outfit. Outfit Details: Skirt: Botique i2s T-Shirt: India Wedges: Bus Station Necklace: bought from a friend Head-wrap: India  I must say that I prefer this combination of colours more than with the white shirt. What do you think of it? How would you have worn this skirt?   Have you checked out my online store yet?
