Akin Faminu Menswear blogger takes on Ankara prints, tailored suit for 'Afrocentric trend'

Take a cue from stylish blogger Akin Faminu's take on Ankara and tailored suit done in the most impressive way.

Akin Faminu styles the 'Afrocentric trend' working a suit over Ankara pants and the result is impressive.

The menswear blogger and enthusiast breaks down the unique look and it's a must try for the daring style rocker. Faminu dares to be different choosing the classic navy blue suit without looking ordinary, spinning the look his own way and the result is the 'Afrocentric look'.

He chose the bold look featuring solid print Ankara details as vest and fitted pants topped with navy blue jacket with 'Aso-oke' and pin brooch details. He completes the unique look with gold cap slip.

"I've recently been exploring the Afrocentric trend, in different new ways, mostly because of the message of African Fashion it passes across ever so well, and this outfit is a well put together Afrocentric look.

Navy is the one hue that allows for adventure, and Afrocentrism being Adventure at its very peak meant that it was a great idea to combine African prints and Fabric tailored to perfection in 'Western Fashion" Akin Faminu reveals about the look.

The Power of Navy - There are some things that every man looks good in. Whether it’s a pair of dark selvedge denim jeans, a white dress shirt or solid black suit, certain pieces and styles work for any guy who is willing to try them.

There a few colors which fall into this category too – but none more so than Navy. It’s a universally loved hue within men’s style, due to it being able to anchor more adventurous hues as well as make a statement on its own when combined with a unique design or texture.

It was no news that a Navy blue suit was heavily in trend, it's one of those timeless pieces that never goes out of style actually, but then, that might mean that there's nothing spectacular about wearing one, or not? So how then do you pull off a Navy Blue suit without looking ordinary?

First, The Jacket. Custom made Double breasted Navy Blue Jacket by the Nigerian Menswear Brand - Crescencio Ferriera and tailored to perfection, with perfect fit and quality fabric! (Never overlook the Fabric guys, its very important). The Afrocentric catch about this jacket, like you might have noticed, lies in the detailing, with the pockets made with the classical African Fabric, 'Aso-Oke'.

The shirt and the pants, made from 'Ankara', another classical African Fabric, by San  Brnks, were also tailored like any other formal shirt and pants would have been, and why not? All set, attention shifts to the details, with a lapel accessory, hand crafted by creative genius 'Gbenga Art Smith' made of a gold chain and a coral bead expressing Afrocentrism, even to the simplest of details", he finished.

What do you think of the spectacular Afrocentric look!
