There’s a new outfit trend in town that has us beyond stoked! The reason is that the trend mixes our everyday clothes with traditional outfits. And looks uber chic!

Everyone knows that Ankara fashion is huge and it looks nice no matter how you choose to wear it. Even with Ankara, the commonest way to wear it as separates is to complete the outfit with an Ankara scarf; could be a dress or jeans and a top. So infusing trad outfits into a look caught us a bit of guard! This new trend is not one that will casually cross your mind tbh!

From the looks we have seen on Instagram, Iro and Buba are the main elements of the trend. So instead of pairing them together, the trick is to wear them as separates. You can pair your buba with either jeans for a casual day out or pair your iro with a spaghetti silk top for an owambe. Seems unlikely but the combinations we have seen so far don’t look bad at all!

If you want to try out this trend, you should be mindful of the kind of fabric your iro and buba is made out of. Choose fabrics like cords or eyelets, sequined lace, or cotton lace for a polished look. Also, don’t forget to accessorize accordingly and you’ll be good to go!
