Around The World In Fashion: Ethiopia

Our first fashion trip around the world took us to India. Now we have landed in Ethiopia. 


People of Ethiopia do a great job in mixing colors and wearing statement headpieces. Even when they are hard at work they are fashionable. Take a look below:




The three photos above highlight the eccentric headpieces that seem to be common in this country. I know I could never pull off any of these trends, but they sure do make it look easy. The top photo reminds me of a piece of art. Fashion is art and they truly have done an amazing job in showing the world this. 


I have also noticed that they over accessorize, but in a very tasteful way. If I would try and wear bold necklaces or earrings I would be reported to the fashion police, but these photos show that this is their normal way of dressing and it comes effortless to them. 



The two above photos show people hard at work, but once again we all should take notice to their wardrobes. The top photo shows two men wearing over-sized neutral colored wardrobes, but it once again shows off the fashion of the country. But, the man to the right stole the show and I want to steal that red shirt! 


The second photo looks to be layered on top with a patterned skirt below. The pop of blue truly makes the whole look standout in the crowd.




The final two photos are amazing. The women walking the street in their colored layered outfits with minimal jewelry. The second photo shows how to wear traditional clothing and if I might add all white correctly!


Take note, fashion in Ethiopia is not to be overlooked!
