How to Rock a Peplum Jacket

The Oxford dictionary definition of a peplum is ‘A short gathered or pleated strip of fabric attached at the waist of a woman’s jacket, dress, or blouse to create a hanging frill or flounce’.
It originates from the Greek word for tunic which is Peplos. The particular reference for the modern day take on the peplum though refers to an ‘overskirt’ that was worn over jackets.
Whatever the case, this modern addition to tops, dresses, skirts and jackets is flattering to all shapes and sizes.
The beauty and perhaps success of the peplum tops and dresses and so on is that the peplum shape accentuates the waist and gives the figure a more curvaceous, feminine look.











The Dashiki Outfit Every Guy is Rocking

Dashiki, also known as “Danchiki” by the Hausas, pronounced dan-she-key is a loose-fitting shirt or tailored shirt, (often V-shaped) often with elaborate or simple embroidery patterns around the neck, chest, and sleeve lines. The shapes of the neckline may also vary. Some Dashikis come with closed necklines, some V-neck lines, square-neck lines, and many other shapes and forms. Dashikis are widely worn in West Africa. However, over the years it has gained popularity in other parts of Africa.

Dashikis come in different patterns and designs. However, the basic look is preserved. Dashikis may include a few traditional buttons, a clip button, Velcro, or a hook and eye closure to secure the neckline.

Agbada for the Modern Men

Growing up, the traditional attire known as agbada was mostly worn by "big men". At occassions in those days, you see men arriving the venue, flinging the garment over their shoulders and walking majestically. It was almost always certain that these men would be "spraying" a lot of naira notes in that occasion. Yes, that was the impression that an agbada wearing man gave off.
Agbada was very rarely worn by young men in the past. I seriously doubt any young man, ten years ago, would have willingly worn agbada just for the sake of being stylish....correct me if i'm wrong.

Fast forward to the present, agbada is no longer just for the big daddies, we now see young men (and even women) rocking the agbada in a modernized fashion; where the old school agbada is worn over long sleeved buba (tunic), these days, they are worn over short sleeved buba. Where the old school agbada is long, extremely broad and wing-like, these days they come in shorter lengths and widths and are definitely not as heavy as the old school type.

5 Ways on How To Rock a Sleeveless Ankara

Dresses are rarely the tight fitting variety and more the loose flowing variety.Sure part of this mindset is maturity and that you no longer want to run around in tiny skirts and crop tops, aka the era of my late teens. But part of this mind set is also the fear that you can’t wear certain things, like a sleeveless gown. 

1. Layer it

You can layer sleeveless dresses with light cardigans, silk scarves, vests or jackets. Layer prints with solids for a super cute look. And take old fashion pieces, team them up with new fashion pieces and make it work for the new season.

2. Accessories make the girl

Add a chunky necklace, beautiful earrings or even an arm full of bangles. This can help to shift the focus away from being sleeveless and give you that extra boost of confidence only bling can bring.

3. Just Stop Caring

The tight, effort free bodies of our twenties are different in our thirties, but we are still all kinds of awesome. If I am honest with myself, it is my perception of my body that has changed more than my body itself. In which case, I need to have a long hard talk with my confidence and set some things straight.

4. Confidence and Trust

The best way to wear sleeveless dresses or anything for that matter is with a little confidence. Trust that your body has always been your best and most loyal friend. If a designer wasn’t proud to recommend their pieces to the women they love most, they wouldn’t create them.

5. Care

Taking care of our body ensures we can wear anything. Find what works best for you and stick to it: the gym, running, yoga or long walks to clear the mind. If you have a healthy mind and a healthy body, then anything will look good on you.
So, go out there and be awesome.
