Unlike in the past when African men only felt fashionable in suits, they are finding ways of using local fabrics to create fashionable ensembles. In fact, the rest of the world now appreciates African men fashion—and wears them.

Inasmuch as African fashion is gorgeous, it owes part of its popularity to the high-profile figures that wear them. Today, we are going to look at ensembles that every fashionable African man should have in his closet. Now, let’s see how fashionable you are. How many of these ensembles do you have in your closet?

A typical agbada usually has a limited design around the neck. However, this one has a more elaborate design that runs from the neck all the way down. The entire front is covered with embroidery. Also, the inner edge is lined with a different material making it one of the most decorated agbada ensemble. Think you are fashionable? Then, you must have this in your closet.

Fashion doesn’t necessarily have to be complex to be beautiful—at least, that is what we learned from this ensemble. Besides the embroidery on the bodice, this would pass as a regular shirt. However, we know that this is far from regular.

Who would have ever thought that agbada can be carved out from just any material? Here we are thrilled by this agbada with flamboyant embroidery made from a different material than what we hitherto know. One thing that has remained constant is the use of a cap to complete the look.

What we love most about Ankara is how versatile it can be. In the hands of the right designer, Ankara can turn into a suit, an agbada, or a simple long sleeve shirt and trousers like in this case. The thigh-length shirt stands out for a number of reasons including the collar and the deep slit at the bottom. Wear it with the right accessories and you could be mistaken for prince charming.
