The Ankara Top is probably one we don’t see being paired with other pieces as often as the bottom counterpart. With such a beautiful print,, here is how I styled my pretty SGTC Ankara top on jeans.
Apologies for going MIA after my last post, would explain later.
Personally, I’d always find a way to style a beautiful Ankara piece, they’re like my fashion weakness. Before settling on a casual street style look for this Ankara top, I already styled it for Work, Church & Corporate events. As a serial outfit repeater, I’m pretty sure this Ankara top will be a hit back to back.
SGTC is one Nigerian brand that took us all by storm, it came like “bengdengdengdeng” and appealed to the bold-in-fashion & creative fashionistas. Their pieces are edgy, super creative & eye-catching. I’ve been eyeing their pieces for sometime so when they sent me some, it was like candy from the fashion gods.
I used to prefer the peplum Ankara top style but this Ankara top is not basic at all. It is collared and has buttons at the back on a black lapel. I’ve not been feeling the “back-to-front” shirt trend but this gave me half the look and I liked it. It’s long-sleeved but for this look I had to fold it (coupled with the crazy heat in Lagos these days).
Paired with a pair of carrot mom jeans, nude heels, straw bag (my latest love) & a beret, this has to be one of my favorite street style looks especially since I’ve got my African print popping in it.
Now for some quick good news.
