Who said that office wear should be conventional and wretched up? The corporate environment today has experienced some magnified African print office wear that is becoming increasingly popular.

Taking you a few decades back, the office wear for ladies primarily was a suit. It was either a skirt suit and scarcely a trouser suit.

The bright colours were few and the common preference was on dull colours; like black, navy blue, brown and grey with an ironed out collar of course.

The trend slowly changed with the inclusion of various office wear with cheerful designs and now there are modern African dresses styles for every lady.

This has not in any way adversely affected the corporate culture as the same is done in moderation and many employers and employees alike are ready to try out the various African print styles.

Consequently, the work place environment has gotten graceful as the wear today is not the obvious expected wear for tomorrow. This actually is not only a good change for the employees but also gives an image of someone who is cultured, refined,laid back yet stylish and has the expertise.

In fact, new office wear somewhat has contributed to graduates being readily welcome to do white collar jobs as they can play around with style. Not because conventional styles are bad but the routine of wearing suits can  be less interesting.

African print is just a phenomenal style. In fact, people who regard themselves as culturally patriotic or are attached to their heritage should have this wear for office.

As a stylish person, it is time to know how to wear the African prints office dresses and embrace our culture just as the president advised on Utamaduni day when he encouraged Kenyans to wear African print to the office on Fridays.
