You can also adapt ankara for traditional look with a modern twist. Try wearing matching headscarves with kaftans and boubous that are waterproof or have an ankara-inspired design. This way you look stylish as these combination breeds heritage with significance.
2. Water-resistant shoes are a great option this period. Keeping your feet safe is essential throughout the rainy season. Think about wearing attractive jelly shoes or sandals that can withstand water.
