Plain and pattern ankara styles steadily remain at the peak of popularity in the world of fashion. There is no Nigerian woman who does not have trendy ankara style outfits in her wardrobe.

Though the majority of fashionistas are puzzled when it comes to gorgeously combining such different designs. This is because you want to look bright and interesting and at the same time to stay feminine and elegant.

 Of course, choosing ankara designs that don’t emphasize shortcomings of your figure, but highlight and accentuates the good part is a real art.

 Here we will talk about the main rules of combination of plain and pattern ankara styles.

What does plain ankara styles for ladies mean? This is when your costume from head to toe, happens to be one solid color. There are different variations. Of course, monotony has its benefits. One main one is that it draws attention to you in a different way as most people will take notice. It also creates a powerful vertical line that visually increases height, thus, making you look slimmer.

The magic of plain ankara gowns and ankara styles in trousers and blouses is that you do not need to have the same colour for the entire costume but generally similar shades of the same colour. You can mix almost any colours of different shades, creating interesting images.

 It is advisable to use lighter shades in the upper part of the outfit and darker at the bottom as this shows off a flattering proportion. Interesting variations can be created by the tandem of gray, brown, yellow and blue shades.

 When talking about the monotony, we should not think that the whole ensemble is limited to one texture. If different parts are made of materials of different textures, but almost all of them in one color – it’s going to look awesome. Such textures like tweed, jacquard patterns and other types of relief will create an interesting image without colors and at the same time will not break the vertical appeal. This will make you look slimmer. If you want to look more sultry, you can add a silk or chiffon scarf to the ensemble. Lace or velvet will also add luxury and maybe a leather belt.

Trendy ankara styles: patterns

It is easy to make mistakes when combining clothes with patterns. Most prints are self-sufficient, and any wrong combination will not look creative, but unattractive.

It is good to love yourself, but you need to assess all your shortcomings, not to emphasize them. If you are not sure about any combination, then do not wear more than two different designs with ankara patterns.
