THERE is no better way to flaunt your unique naija heritage than having at least one asooke material in your closet; either as 'gele', as 'gele, Iro, buba, and ipele' combination, as gowns, or as skirt and blouse styles.
To usher you into the dazzling world of the asooke era, I have reviewed five absolutely gorgeous asooke styles.
1. THE BAILEY DRESS (TBD)
This stunning dress was recently debuted by Mama Eto Alasooke. It is the absolute favourite of Alimoshotoday's beauty and fashion editorial team. The dress is designed with a corset, therefore, you can forego wearing a bra. You can wear this dress to any function, owambe, or on your special day.
2. WRAP SKIRT AND BLOUSE
This asooke style can be worn for your birthday photoshoot, birthday party, wedding reception, or even on your introduction. The wrap skirt style is designed to give you a cultural feel and in a comfortable way, too. You can pair this dress with peep-toe shoes, stilettos, or slingback shoes.
3. OFF SHOULDER LONG SLEEVE GOWN
This dress is dazzling and stylish. Another beautiful attribute of the asooke fabric is that it can be embroidered as shown in the picture. You can wear this dress to any owambe function.
4. WRAP SKIRT AND V-NECKED BLOUSE
Like the other wrap skirt style above, this style is designed to give you the traditional Iro and buba vibe with its v-neck and wide arms design. This style can be paired with heels, slingback shoes, or stilettos. Rock this style on your wedding and you will surely steal your own show.
5. LONG TRAIN DRESS
This dress should be every bride's dream because it is simple, bold, and absolutely dazzling. After your wedding, you can detach the long train and make it into a lovely gown for your little dress and you can also slay your wedding dress as a dinner gown.
All these asooke styles are easily replicable and you can also mix different asooke fabrics to get your desired style.
