The Modern Friday Ankara

The old rule was that Ankara was for weddings and church. The new rule is there is no rule — a well-cut Ankara piece belongs in rotation with your everyday wardrobe, not saved for once a year.

The trick is silhouette. A wrap dress, a tailored trouser, a simple wrap top — modern cuts let the print do the talking without turning the whole look into a costume. Pair it with plain accessories and let the fabric be the statement.

Friday dressing, at its best, is confident and a little playful. Ankara, cut right, is exactly that.
