5. Ankara Dress Worn as a Shirt or Layering Piece
An Ankara shirt dress worn open over a plain fitted jumpsuit or layered over straight-leg trousers gives the fabric a contemporary western silhouette treatment that feels both current and culturally grounded. This is particularly effective with shorter ankara dresses which, when worn open and belted, become a statement duster or shirt-style layer over western basics.
This approach photographs exceptionally well and is one of the most popular styling moves for Ankara among fashion-forward diaspora women in the UK and Canada who want to incorporate the fabric into street style looks.
