I don’t know about you, but as an African woman when it comes to working from home, keeping it chic is at the forefront of our mind — which means anything sartorially African will suffice.

There are no bosses anymore and there’s no HR manager who’s checking your appearance and the dress code. Whether you want to rock your dreadlocks, or you want to keep it homely with your messy natural hair or going bare face without make-up, you’re completely in charge.

As you already know, the world is facing a dire time and there’s nothing more interesting than finding solace. As Coco Chanel once said“If you’re sad, add more lipstick and attack.”

While we can’t agree more, there’s nothing, however, more comforting than dusting off your favorite Ankara styles especially during this period. So, here, we are highlighting great African print styles you probably may need in your stay-at-home rotation — because why not?

1. Ankara one-shouldered strap dress 

It’s just seemingly not for the office but since all the work is done from home, why not embrace the glamour

Whether there’s a lockdown or not, under no circumstances should you lack a staple such as this in your wardrobe. It’s ‘everything goes’ when it comes to staying at home and whether you team it with daisy dukes, skirt or skinny jeans, you’re completely on your own (a.k.a self-isolation).

10. Mini high and low dress
