1. Ankara + lace skirt and blouse outfit
A great way to flaunt your love for two most popular Nigerian fashion styles while still keeping your look office-appropriate is to combine Ankara and lace in skirt and blouse styles. This is how you can rock a pencil skirt that is far from boring!
2. Peplum blouse and skirt
Peplum is a timeless classic when it comes to corporate skirt and blouse styles: it’s the one detail that instantly makes any office look more feminine. This Ankara office outfit wins not only thanks to the peplum, but also thanks to the exquisite colour combination.

An office skirt from Ankara fabric doesn’t always have a pencil shape – cute flared skirts work great too, especially when you pair them with an elegant white blouse instead of a matching Ankara top.

A good idea for building a stylish office wardrobe is getting a black pencil skirt and working around it. How to wear a pencil skirt to avoid looking too corporate? Simply pair it with a fun and flattering Ankara peplum blouse!

Having a fabulous floor-length skirt shouldn’t stop you from wearing it to office! To make Ankara long skirts more appropriate for the corporate environment, pair them with a solid-coloured blouse, like Mercy Aigbe did with her lovely denim shirt.
7. Ankara peplum skirt
It never hurts to get creative with your skirts and blouses for office. If you decided to stick to the classic peplum skirt design, you can experiment with patterns. To bring the whole outfit together, you can decorate your top with a piece of the skirt’s Ankara fabric.

You can keep the colour and length of an Ankara outfit perfectly suitable for office and still look like you’ve just stepped from the runway by playing with the peplum. For example, you can make it asymmetric for an extra stylish touch.
14. Off-shoulder blouse
An off-shoulder blouse may not be the best choice for corporate wear on its own, but when paired with an office-friendly pencil skirt, the blouse can be exactly what you need to make the right impression at work.

A black pencil skirt may not be the most adventurous piece of clothing, but you can make it much more attractive by pairing it with an outstanding blouse design. We especially love this free blouse with a bold Ankara pattern.
