RUBBLES 2 ROSSES RELEASES NEW SUMMER COLLECTION

 

Ankara fabric, also known as African wax print, is renowned for its bold patterns and vivid colors. This 100% cotton fabric is not only breathable but also durable, making it an ideal choice for summer fashion. Here are some Ankara pieces to consider adding to your wardrobe:

Flowy Maxi Dresses: Imagine a day at the beach or a garden party, adorned in a floor-length Ankara maxi dress. The vibrant patterns will make you stand out, while the lightweight cotton ensures you stay cool and comfortable. Pair it with simple sandals and a wide-brimmed hat for the perfect summer look.

Chic Off-Shoulder Tops: Off-shoulder tops are a summer staple, and when made from Ankara fabric, they bring an extra dose of flair. These tops are perfect for casual outings or even a night out. Pair them with high-waisted jeans or a skirt to balance the bold prints with a sleek silhouette.

 Playful Shorts and Skirts: For a more casual and playful vibe, consider Ankara shorts or skirts. These pieces are great for weekend brunches or picnics in the park. The key is to keep the rest of your outfit simple to let the Ankara fabric be the star.
