We love African Print

One of the prints we love here at WIWS are African prints and fabrics. African prints and fabrics help to add some culture and color to your look. Contrasting African print on African print makes every woman no matter what look extremely beautiful. You do not have to worry about matching or color coordinating (however you can) because the contrasting of prints adds an even more funky aesthetic to your look. If you want to add even more culture add a dramatic head wrap to your look and wrap it high and large. Finding the undertones in your print and adding them as your makeup accent will also enhance your look even more.

African print can be worn casually or even to upscale events like weddings. Nigerians are known for dressing extravagantly at their weddings. At many weddings a traditional print is selected and all the guests wear the same print but in different styles. This adds unity which is an essential value in African culture while also allowing guests to express themselves through their own dress style.
