We can’t overstate how much we love seeing people in African prints or creations by Africans. Nigerian TV Personality, Tracy Nwapa stepped out to work yesterday, but before going she gave us a peek at her outfit for the day through her instagram page. She had on the shirt and pants by Viv La Resistance from their 2012 Kaleidoscope Collection).

She paired off her look with denim jacket, white strap sandals, a grey Michael Kors bag and statement neckpiece by Marciano. Her Cat-eyes Ray Bans is a necessity for the Lagos Sun.

What do you think of her look? We love the way she put everything together, its colourful without being too “in-your-face”.

Skirts are a quintessential symbol of femininity. You can wear virtually any length, but it is tricky to choose the right light for the right occasion and pair it off properly. That’s why today we are showing how to style different hemlines. Hem lengths change constantly but it's important to stick with the length that flatters you most.

Mini-Length

You can’t wear a mini—or anything, for that matter—if you feel uncomfortable. Looking good and feeling good definitely go hand-in-hand. With just an ounce of extra foresight and the right attitude, maneuvers, and mindset, you can wear a short mini skirt with majestic grace.

Knee-Length

This length is classic and a little bit retro. The best part is it looks good on just about everyone. It is Ladylike and chic. The style should be fitted but not so tight that it puckers. Bold colors look modern.

Midi-Length

This is the slightly below the knee length. It works well for more formal environments and it is an easy way to inject ladylike flair to your style. For this style, heels are largely recommended to elongate the legs. To balance out the longer hemline, try pairing your midi skirt with a shorter, even cropped, top, or just try tucking your tee in.

Maxi– Length

This length is tricky and is often complemented with a long thigh length slit to make it easier on the eyes. Long skirts are a kind of embodiment of beauty, femininity, style and practicality.

How would you work your hemlines?
