The African print trend has exploded over the past couple of years! If you are a designer you have to admit these prints are visually satisfying. I put together a few looks just to give you an idea of how to wear these prints, or hopefully inspire you to enter the #Africontest on Instagram for a chance to win a $100 gift card.
Here are the Details: https://www.moodfabrics.com/african-print-design-contest. I can’t wait to see what you create! Good luck!
I decided to show the first look as a “Statement Pant”. Paired with a classic crisp white shirt with a bow-tie accent. This pant was made using Cynthia Rowley Pattern #1371. Fabric from Mood Fabrics: Orange and Pink Geometric Waxed Cotton African Print.
With my next look, I made this “African Print Blazer” (pattern was drafted free hand) using the Mandarin Red and Tinsel Geometric print and Brown Fashion-Weight Faux leather from Mood Designer Fabrics. This look is classic paired with denim and a crisp white shirt. This look also gives a very 70’s inspired feel!
My final look is the “Statement Two Piece Pant Suit”. This was also made using the Orange and Pink Geometric Waxed Cotton African Print. This is where you go all out and turn heads when you walk into a room!! Pant pattern same as above “Statement Pant”. The shirt is an original design by me to complete the look.

You look awesome. I thought a blazer in the pants fabric, please! How about a pencil skirt with a short top with sleeves? You look awesome. The right height too carry the prints. African prints give us lots of beautiful colors. Thanks for sharing.
[…] is where it gets interesting. I used the same concept I used for one of my earlier posts, “Stunning African Prints In 3 Great Looks“. I absolutely love this back. It has the wrap detail, and leaves just a little skin exposed. […]
