Welcome to our new category ‘BUY AFRICAN‘ in our Lifestyle segment. FashionGHANA has been recommending brands and products in our ‘TRENDS & STYLE TIPS’ section but recently we feel that the time has come for these types of articles to be given their own space and all such articles would eventually be moved over to the ‘BUY AFRICAN’ category. Enjoy!
When it comes to clothing, Kaftans are a very universal language that can work 1. Anywhere in the world, and 2. For any occasion. Going to a Muslim-filled country? You can rock your kaftan. Going to a beach resort? You can rock your kaftan. Going to a party? You can rock a kaftan. Just stepping out to the shop to buy some snaps? you can definitely easily rock your kaftan.
Despite the flexibility of circumstances to which you can apply your kaftan, another adorable factor of this garment is applicable simplicity. There is no complicated fastening, no “can you help me tie the back”, and no difficulty in sizing either.
In The 20s, African has even birthed a new term for ladies that love to were kaftans and that is ‘Rich Aunty’. The term embraces more than kaftans but rests assured the look plays a major scope in the rich aunty garment sphere.
Most Africans are always familiar with that one aunty that shows them there’s enough money to go around. When we are young, she is the one that teaches us not all adults are even and strict. She steps out of the range with her kaftan and sunglass and at times her gele and we celebrate the moment we hear her car engine.
Well if you want to get that look, we have gathered for you 4 amazing African brands that you can easily pick your ‘Rich Aunty’ kaftan from, and they all have fresh new pieces in stock. So let’s get straight to it.
