Blending Vintage with Modern Wax Prints

Posted by VIP Massages Dubai on September 17th, 2017

It can seem antithetical to have vintage and modern combine, but really when you think about it, the bright, bold colours and patterns of African Fashion Marketplace fabrics are a perfect match to vintage inspired fashions.

Strong geometric patterns on a head wrap would look perfect with a column dress from the 60s, or you can pair it with a sweeping gown from the 70s. You can also mix African wax print fabric dresses or maxi skirts with a bolero jacket swiped from your mother’s 80s leftovers or a Nehru jacket. Finish the outfit with a sandal and you are ready for any event.

The cute sweater sets from the 50s are an ideal colour block mate to a pencil skirt in a bold print on wax fabric. Accent with metallic jewellery and a great pair of boots and you are ready to go. You will certainly stand out, so be prepared for the compliments.

Not feeling that courageous? You can African handmade products with wood bead bracelets from the 70s or perhaps some great copper earrings and a choker from the 60s and start to bring the two together. Whatever you decide, don’t be afraid to mix and match – the combination is sure to please.
