Dear Fashion Girlies, Here Are 5 Looks To Channel At Atafo’s Spring/Summer ’24 Fashion Show

It’s never easy finding the perfect outfit to grace a runway show. From the need to make a fashion statement to the maximalist nightmare of showing up in a ‘too simple’ ensemble, there are a lot of factors to consider when gracing a fashion show, especially when it’s ATAFO’s Spring/Summer ‘24 collection showcase.

Sure, fashion shows are about seeing the runway and digesting the designer’s collection, but personal style is also one aspect of a runway show that cannot be negated. As a fashion girlie, the aim is to stand out, especially considering the fact that it’s an ATAFO show where both the men’s and womenswear embody sophistication and depict timeless tailoring with a mix of new-age styles.

We’ve taken the liberty to curate a list of fashion inspirations in case you got an invite to the ATAFO Spring/Summer ‘24 fashion showcase tagged ‘Sartorial Reverie.’

The Classics

You can never go wrong with a well-fitting sheer dress, or any dress for that matter. Whether it’s a floor-length dress, a midi dress or a short dress, all that matters is how well accessories are layered on your outfit choice and the uniqueness of the outfit – whether that is in structure or the choice of colour and patterns.

The Denim Ensemble

Denim on denim will always be a look. You can decide to go all out by layering other fashion pieces on your choice of denim ensemble to further make a fashion statement, or you can choose the minimalistic approach. Whichever choice you make works.

Two–Piece

Layering in fashion is a concept that always works and makes some of the most iconic street-style outfits. Whether you pair a midi dress with flared pants or a mini dress with flared pants, there’s no bounds to the styles you can explore when you’re layering. The most important thing to note is the colour choice, the patterns, and how well the structure of the outfit fits your body type.

The Mai Atafo Ensemble

It’s a Mai Atafo fashion show. What better way to show up at the showcase than as an ATAFO woman? Whether it’s wearing a statement tux from their menswear collection (who says women have to stick to female wear?) or a two-piece from their womenswear collection, it’s an ATAFO fashion show, you can get creative like Chioma Ikokwu did in this illustration.

Rich Aunty Ensemble

Can’t be bothered by layering or looking for the best structurally fitting outfit? Bubu’s are the way to go. They do not only give off the rich aunty effect, but they practically fit every body type. It’s a minimalist’s dream, however, picking the right Bubu defines whether your outfit is a slay or a nay.

ATAFO’s Spring/Summer’24 fashion exhibition will be held on Tuesday, October 24 at Eko Hotel, Lagos in partnership with renowned Scotch whisky brand, The Macallan.
