Yes, you can wear African print to work and no, HR won’t call you in (unless it’s to ask where you got your outfit). Styling Afrohoard pieces for the office is all about balance, confidence, and knowing how to serve culture with a side of professionalism. Let’s get into it.

1. The Print Blazer Moment
A well-cut Ankara blazer over a neutral dress or tailored pants? Instant power move. You walk into that Monday morning meeting like, “I came here to close deals and turn heads.”

2. Pencil Skirts with Print Personality
An African print pencil skirt + a crisp white shirt = office-approved slay. It’s giving CEO in the making. Bonus points if you throw on a pair of killer heels and pretend you’re not counting down to lunch.

3. Print Accents for the Print-Curious
Not ready to go full Ankara at work? Start small. A printed scarf, tie, or handbag adds just enough flair without causing office gossip (unless it’s compliments).

4. Jumpsuits, But Make Them Boardroom Ready
A structured Ankara jumpsuit is the definition of bold elegance. Pair with minimal jewelry and a sleek bun to keep it classy. You’ll walk past your boss and they’ll feel underdressed.

5. Know Your Office Vibe
Every office is different. If yours is more “tech startup in hoodies,” go wild. If it’s more “law firm in Lagos,” keep the silhouette sharp and the colors balanced. Either way, own it.

African prints at work? Yes, please. Let’s make the 9-5 colorful again.
