Some women prefer wearing their nails really long. We can’t find a reason why you shouldn’t do that too. However, short nails have their charms as well. You can always count on them. They are practical and less likely to be broken.

Brides often opt for short nails to keep them good looking and practical. They are great for working moms, busy women, and everyone who don’t like to think about their nails that much.

Short nails can be fascinating. From classy manicures to really complicated ones you can achieve them all even if your nails are pretty short.

Trend African Print Dresses Styles 2020

African dresses vary from brightly colored textiles to abstractly embroidered robes, to colorful beaded bracelets and necklaces.

There are numerous African dress designs that come in all forms. African dress designs are gaining huge popularity in the fashion world across the globe.

A range of fabrics is used to design African dresses. Among them are Ankara styles, kitenge, kente cloth, dashiki styles, Aso Ebi, batakari/fugu, etc.

Since Africa is such a large and diverse continent, African atraditional dresses differ throughout each country.
For example, many countries in West Africa have a “distinct dress styles that are the products of long-standing textile crafts in weaving, dyeing, and printing”, but these traditions are still able to coexist with western styles.
I have great admiration for African fashion dresses and have put together pictures of beautiful African dresses….from African print tops, Ankara styles to kente wedding styles.

Swazi Traditional Wedding Dresses 2020

What is an African inspired dress, you may ask? Simply put – African inspired is where glamour meets tradition. In an ever-changing world where some may find the traditional white wedding dress too rigid, these designs allow you to get in touch with your “Africaness.” and look like an African princess while doing so. While inspiration can be found anywhere, nothing speaks as boldly as African inspired attire. With a renewed consciousness, awareness and appreciation for African design, the modern-day traditional inspired dresses subtly boast African character. Africaness is full of life, colour and an unending desire to express its true self in all its splendour. Hence, more brides opting to experience the gravitas of ‘Holy matrimony’, with all the trimmings.

An African inspired wedding dress cannot be contained into just another silhouette. It embodies the colour, the soul and the vibrancy of the bride. These designs push the traditional boundaries and are a step up from the norm. You need not have an entirely African themed wedding to strut a traditionally inspired gown. Adding subtle hints of African pride to your design makes for both an imaginative and creative gown. Below we’ll outline traditional inspired dresses within the realm of shape, design, imagination and absolute style. What does traditional attire embody and how can it be married with a modern-day style to encapsulate real “Africaness”?
