Most current and latest Kenyan fashion trends originate from western countries, although some of the fashion designers in Kenya sometimes twist their perspective a bit. In Africa, Kenya is now one of the hottest countries with regards to the latest fashion trends. For example, Kenyan celebrities have been seen walking around the city in the latest styles. Some of these latest styles can be considered “funny”, and others can be considered “edgy.”
Kenya fashion has been undergoing major changes ever since the country gained independence from England in 1963. Many of the country’s famous designers came from Europe and America to start their own fashion lines in Nairobi. However, more local designers also started their own fashion lines as well. These local designers are considered to be among the best in the world, and they are gradually gaining a lot of recognition in Nairobi’s fashion scene. Even though most Kenyans do not like to sport Western-style clothing, the current fashion trends are causing many Kenyans to do just that.
One of the latest trends that is taking place currently is wearing Western-style clothing paired with a traditional outfit. This way, you can get an entire look combining both western and eastern influences. You can choose a simple flower-wearing western outfit for a casual day out with your friends, or you can dress up in a flower-embroidered kaftan for a fancy dinner. There are many African American and mixed-race individuals who are enjoying wearing these types of fashionable outfits; however, many Kenyans do not like to wear something that they think is stereotypical or very far removed from their own culture.
