Woman, dress how you want to be addressed

The Kenyan woman has long been known for her flamboyant outfits. We have kept abreast with the changes in the fashion world and still managed to incorporate our African city in our dressing. We have a pair of ‘mum jeans’ and skinny jeans to wear for our casual occasions. We have a few trendy pieces  for our semi-formal events and we can colour clash our outfits perfectly when the occasion demands it.

We can also rock the African Ankara, from the Rwandans umushanana to the Ugandan gomesi. We have found a way of adapting the Maasai’s wraparounds which we can either wear around our shoulders or waists like a cloak.  
On bad hair days, or when the occasion calls for it, we can give the West African woman a run for her money when it comes to adorning the extravagant headgear.
