How to Style Traditional African Clothing Today

Here at Nkiti, we are making it easy to wear African prints and clothes in your daily life, not just at weddings or big events. We want to make African print an everyday thing, for everyone.

You might be wondering, I'm not African, can I wear this? Short answer is YES you can, and you absolutely should be. We deep dive this in our article here.

Why Traditional African Clothing is Special

Traditional African clothes like Kente, boubou, and dashiki come from rich and different cultures. They are known for their bright colours and meaningful designs. While they were once mostly for special occasions, now many people wear them every day. We explore various kinds of traditional clothing more in our article here. 

At Nkiti, we absolutely love the Kente cloth in particular and its been one of our bestselling collections since we launched. We offer a range of t-shirt styles and colours that you can browse!
