Why African Fashion Is Booming in the UK

From Birmingham weddings to London fashion shows, African fashion is no longer niche — it’s mainstream. Driven by UK-based Black creatives and a rising love for Afrocentric style, more women are proudly rocking Ankara, lace, and Asoebi pieces made with modern flair.

Equity Fashion is at the heart of this movement, delivering custom outfits that blend tradition with trend.

The Top 7 African Fashion Trends for 2025

1. 🔥 Bold Ankara Suit Sets

Powerful and colorful, these tailored two-piece suits are the new office-to-event flex. Perfect for professional women who want to make a statement.

2. 💃 Mermaid Lace Gowns

Lace is timeless — but in 2025, it’s layered, body-hugging, and drama-filled. Brides and celebrants are going for deep-cut backs, feather trims, and crystal detailing.

3. 🌺 Mix-and-Match Prints

Ankara isn’t sticking to one pattern anymore. Expect patchwork blouses, mixed-print skirts, and headwraps that pop in photos.

4. ✨ Sheer and Sparkle Fabrics

2025 is the year of shine. Sheer organza and sequin mesh overlays are trending across birthday looks and red-carpet outfits.

5. 🧥 Long Ankara Jackets

These flowy, kimono-style jackets elevate even casual jeans and tank tops. Moji recommends pairing them with heels for instant glam.

6. 👑 Dramatic Asoebi for Bridal Parties

Bridal trains are now uniformed in rich velvet, corset bodices, and matching geles. One look = instant royalty.

7. 👜 Beaded Accessories

From handmade bags to bold necklaces, custom beads are the must-have finish to every African look in 2025.

Moji’s Take – What Our Lead Tailor Recommends

“For UK ladies attending multiple events this summer, I recommend starting with a fitted Ankara gown and a matching jacket. It’s easy to re-style and perfect for both formal and casual settings.” – Moji, Lead Tailor
