How Did I Wear…

How did I wear…an African dashiki?

I’ve been searching long and hard for a pull-over, African dashiki.

What is a dashiki? Most search engines define African dashiki’s as a colorful garment that are typically worn by West African men. This shirt covers the top half of the body.

Tip: Depending on your personal style, dashiki’s can be purchased in almost every color.

Fortunately, my sister found this one at a random vendor in North Carolina while visiting my parents.

Tip: Since this dashiki was found randomly, it’s safe to assume that these shirts can be found in almost every city. Just check out your local mall or flea market for a vendor.

Needless to say, I think the African dashiki is the perfect spring/summer staple. Worn with the right pair of shorts or jeans, this shirt can be dressed up with little to no effort. For myself, I styled my dashiki with my newly distressed cut-off denim shorts. Additionally, I threw on my white canvas sneakers from Urban Outfitters.

Tip: No need to wear too many layers with your dashiki. It’s meant to keep you cool during the hotter months.

How did I wear…a printed kimono?

After a series of failed attempts, I finally figured out how to style this printed Kimono the right way.

Tip: Styling a kimono is a lot easier than it sounds. Depending on the material, you should consider wear light weight garments underneath.

My original plan was to do the whole double denim thing again. Obviously, that didn’t go as planned. It was a little too warm outside. So, I had to readjust.

Tip: Since the kimono is the perfect spring accessory, try to wear it over a neutral colored tank or tee.

Next, I attempted to wear a brightly colored tank, with skinny jeans. Although that look sounded like a great idea, it wasn’t good enough.

Tip: ASOS has a variety of kimonos available for men. They run anywhere between $20-$40, which isn’t bad considering they are pretty hard to find.

Right before giving up, I decided to go with an all black look at the last minute. The graphic tee and denim shorts bring more to the table than my other failed looks.
