Wear It Under Rain Gear While Camping
I remember the first time I ever saw someone in a dashiki. It was at my high school orientation, and the woman wearing it was tall and blonde, with long hair that she braided down her back. The dashi’s color was vibrant against her pale skin, and I thought it looked so cool. Her outfit seemed effortless but classic; I wanted one too. So when I saw them online, I knew this is what I needed for camping.
If you’re like me and get excited about any occasion to wear something different (like a traditional African garment), then this is perfect for you. Just throw on some rain gear on top of your dashiki dress (and don’t forget those boots) and voila! You’re ready for whatever life throws at you. And I really hope it doesn’t start raining while we’re out there because that would suck. But if it does, then I’m going to look great in my African dresses.
Use as outerwear on cooler days
It’s important to choose the right dress for the occasion. It’s all about what you plan on doing with it. If you’re going to be laying out and want something that will stay put when wet, then there are some other considerations that need to be made. you’re not worry about getting the dress wet or dirty then you can go ahead and wear it as a cover up. If you’re looking for something in between formal and casual, throw on your favorite maxi skirt over your swimsuit! You’ll have an outfit that is perfect for those cool days at the pool.
