How To Stylishly Design Your Ankara Kaftan As A Matured Lady

Thu, 4 Jan 2024 Source: Manzekay

Here are some design options for the neck, hands, and middle vertical down that will make you stand out if you want to add a bit of refinement to your Ankara kaftan.




Consider integrating exquisite stitching into the neck design. Choose a design that complements your kaftan's overall pattern. Elegant flower designs or geometric patterns can offer a touch of softness and elegance. Choose embroidery in contrasting hues to stand out against the fabric. You can also experiment with beading or sequins to add glitz and flare.

Consider adding jewelry to the hands to improve the overall appearance. Embroidered cuffs with elaborate designs or motifs are a popular choice. You can also combine embroidery and sequins to create a spectacular appearance. Consider adding lace trim or beaded tassels to the edges of the sleeves for a more subtle effect.


The kaftan's main vertical strip provides an excellent opportunity to establish a focal point. Consider putting a large embroidered strip down the center. This panel can be customized with elaborate designs or a bespoke monogram. To add visual interest, you can also use a row of fancy buttons or a line of beading.

Remember to create a balance between elegance and comfort while designing your Ankara kaftan. Check that the needlework or embellishments do not impede your movement or add weight to the fabric. You can embrace your maturity while oozing confidence and flair in a well-designed Ankara kaftan.
