The African style of clothing uses the entire colour scheme provided by mother nature. You can see the saturated shades of the sun and sky, sand and clay, greenery, wood, as well as the cooling colour of water.

To make both women’s and men’s items of clothings, these T-shaped form of ethnic danshiki outfits are used. The latest designs have different possible variations. The dashiki design can be used to make T-shirts, jackets, dresses and even trousers.
Men usually prefer a wide and lose dansiki shirt paired with some pants.
What are the most common dansiki designs?
Dashiki is a bright colored African shirt-tunic. It is worn over the head and has a V-shaped incision in the neck line. It is sewed from one piece of fabric and comes with a few different patterns. The neckline almost always captures attention and so does the bright colours they come in. Dashiki is never tucked in skirts or pants. It needs to flow freely so the beauty is appreciated.
When it comes to what to pair with the Danshiki design, a lot of people prefer plain trousers or even jeans. It has become such a popular look that it is even worn around the world.
The Dashiki trend came to the fashion world from the Northern Nigeria. The name “dashiki” is taken from the word “danchiki” in the Hausa language.
To this day, the print has been copied many times and produced by various factories since the sixties. This look is always popular and in high demand.
Danshiki styles are one of the few types of outfit that can be worn by both men and women without making any changes to the design and cut.
Let’s take a closer look at the fashion dashiki trends of 2017 using to create everyday looks for men and women.
Dashiki for men in the season of 2017
Of course, dashiki with a traditional design on the chest and around the neck line is still in trend. In 2017 a white dashiki with blue or black embroidery looks great as well as a black dashiki with red, yellow and multicoloured design.
Also, this season, turquoise color as the main fabric and brown or yellow embroidery are trendy. For men who are not afraid to experiment, we can advise lilac dashiki with white or brown embroidery around the collar, on the chest and the sleeves. Colourful embroidery on white dashiki looks very elegant.
In addition to the traditional designs employed while sewing dashiki, the technique of joining single-color fabric and patterned fabric are all the rage. For example, you can make a blue dashiki, and choose the fabric for the sleeves with a small pattern but in the same color scheme. This look can be in the form of a floral or geometric ornament.
Typically, men wear plain-coloured trousers or jeans with this element of wardrobe. Jeans fit dashiki of any color, with any pattern or single-colored. It can be worn for a casual look or even for an event depending on how you dress it up.
If you choose to go for coloured trousers, ensure they are of the same color with the dashiki or at least, in the same colour palette so the trousers can perfectly match with the top. Otherwise, it’s better to sew or buy a pair of one-coloured trousers without any pattern.
If you must have patterns on your trousers, it might be better if they are sewn from the same fabric as the dashiki or if the dashiki is made in one-color without a definite pattern or bright designs. Be careful with choosing a bright dashiki with bright trousers. The result can look too colourful and juvenile. Moderation is key when it
Keep in mind that dashiki is not just a festive or casual clothing. Dashiki styles for guys can be worn to achieve a business look too. You can choose a one-coloured pastel dashiki, for example, white, blue, beige or even black with modest design in the same tone with the main fabric. This look can be pretty cool for work.

However, this look is trendy regardless. Also, you have many option when it comes to choosing the right length.
For example, women in 2017 season love bright dashiki colours such as blue, red, pink, yellow, and turquoise. The design in the dashiki can be made with any other bright color. There are excellent combinations of blue dashiki and yellow, red or bright pink design. Black and blue embroidery are suitable for red dashiki too. A yellow dashiki with blue and brown embroideries looks beautiful too and so on.
If you want to create a more modest and lowkey attire, the tone for the design should be similar to the main dashiki color. The pattern on the fabric can be bright.
As for the cut, the straight cuts are always a classic. But for women, there can be exceptions to the rules. If you have wide hips, then you can sew dashiki of the A-silhouette or straight, but it must be wider than the classic version. If you are going to wear dashiki with pants, then you have enough length that reaches the middle of your thigh.
Some fashionistas prefer to wear dashiki as an independent element of their wardrobe. If you want to use dashiki in the form of a dress, then, of course, the length should be long enough to protect your decency. What else can ladies wear with dashiki?
In the season of 2017, this attire or other tops in dashiki style can be worn with long straight skirts, or pencil skirts reaching just below the knee. Dashiki also can be used along with stylish designs of tops and trousers.
In addition, dashiki is good with straight trousers. They can be narrowed to the bottom, straight or even flared from the hip (depending on the type of figure). Fortunately, this season there area vast majority of trendy looks. And of course, jeans go perfectly with any dashiki fabric.
As for the business look, the same rules for men apply here. Choose a one-color dansiki latest style with a discreet pattern or gentle embroidery in tone with the basic colour of the item. The only difference is that women can afford to adopt more colours even for office. But at the same time, dear fashionistas try not to overdo it.
Don’t be afraid of bright colours and trendy designs for your danshiki look. It is a conservative type of outfit that makes you feel comfortable and free when you wear it.
As you can see, traditional Nigerian and African clothings take an important role in our society these days. From year to year, they do not lose their relevance. Fabric, mix of colours, and a combination of elements in the look might change but dashiki will always stay in trend.
