Sheer lace Mixed with The Material

This is one style that deserves to come back after the pandemic. Sheer lace (usually black or skin-coloured) is mixed with the lace or Ankara neckline, usually at the sleeves or the neckline.

Asymmetric Necklines

 Asymmetric necklines were all the rave before the pandemic. They were a chic step away from boring and regular necklines.

Ankara Jumpsuits

Half/Side Peplum Dresses

This is another style that shone before the pandemic. It is a twist on the popular peplum style. It involves a half peplum to the side of the dress.

Dramatic Puffy-Sleeved Blouses 

This style could be found at most owambe parties pre-pandemic. It featured puffy and dramatic sleeves on a blouse or dress. It was usually accompanied by a sweetheart neckline that added more to the splendour to the outfit.

Double Slitted Dresses

This is similar to the high slit, but it features slits on both sides of the dress which gives it twice the allure as the high slit.

High Slitted Dresses/Skirts

It involved a very high slit in a floor-length dress or skirt. The slits could be either at a side or in front of the dress. The length of the slit usually varied between knee-length and thigh-high.

These 10 styles trended before the pandemic, and we hope that they make a come-back after the pandemic.
