10 Hot African Items You’ll Want For Your Summer Wardrobe

It’s time to start formulating your summer wardrobe. You can go with the usual cutoff shorts and tank tops in various colors or you can stun in these African and African-inspired summer pieces.

Crop top and capris

This set from ASOS reminds us of a tribal Holly Golightly outfit. We love that the top and pants are slightly mismatched, so each get their own attention, and that the pants rise high to almost meet the crop top. Of course, either of these pieces can be matched with separate items. We found this set at EcoFashionWorld.com.

Peplum Skirt

This skirt can easily transition from office wear to clubwear. Match it with a simple tank top for a weekend brunch, or with a blouse for the office, or with a slinky black top for nighttime. We found this piece at Fashion-Conscience.com.

African print playsuit

Playsuits are perfect for summer. They let your underarms breath, the shorts are airy, and they’re a read-to-wear outfit that takes zero thinking. We love the fun prints and colors on this one from Etsy.com.

Printed Knicker Shorts and Top

This is another ASOS set and it’s the perfect way to stand out from the humdrum bikinis and make heads turn at a pool party. You can easily wear the top like a crop top with a maxi skirt or high-waisted shorts, too. We found this at Asos.com.

Tribal print pants

Enough with the white jeans! These are a great way to mix things up in the trouser department this summer — and what other time of year will you get to wear these bold colors? You can pair these with just about any colored tank top you desire. We found these at CjAj09.com.

Flowy belted dress

Bright red is always a standout color in the summer. We love the jagged bottom of the skirt, giving it a fairy look, and the very nautical rope belt. But this could easily be paired with a structured waist belt, too. We found this piece at NeishaClothing.bigcartel.com.

Multi-print maxi dress

This is another piece from Etsy.com and we love the solid top with the printed skirt, giving the dress the illusion of being two separate pieces. Bright orange is gorgeous in the summertime, and the little bow is flirty and elegant.

Pant romper

This romper can easily be worn during the day, or at night to a cocktail party. The patterns and colors are so unique and capture the African tropical wildlife, and the pants are very elongating. We love the pockets, making the romper youthful and practical. We found this piece at LoveitSoMuch.com.

Printed high-waist shorts

The great thing about these shorts is that their bell shape makes them appear to be a skirt, so you can easily wear them in the evening with a black top and nice jewelry. The psychedelic print is eye-catching, and the cinched waist is very flattering. We found these at SaksFifthAvenue.com and they’re by Stella Jean.

Tribal print bustier

If you’re going to wear a bustier top, you may as well go all out. This piece from Etsy.com is actually handmade. It’s well structured, offering a lot of support for a strapless top. The little belt is seductive, and makes the waist appear small.
