Hi everyone,

Do you follow fashion trends in Ghana? Every country and every culture has its own dress code. As far as you are concerned, have you changed the way you dress?

Can one easily find fashion boutiques in Ghana? Are clothes expensive there? Or cheap?

What do Ghanaians usually wear or like to wear the most?

Share your experience!

Ghanaians are very fashion conscious and dressing well is very important.
There is lots of fantastic fabrics and it is relatively easy to find a seamstress to make clothes.

Yes,you can easily find fashion boutiques in Ghana but it will be expensive  :)

I don't think Ghanaians have a fashion industry, however they have instant exposure to international fashion and work overnight to copy. It's nice to witness, I personally get blinded by too much bright colors.  I prefer my khakis and pastel colors and white shirts. But when in Ghana, if you don't keep up you'd feel belittle or ridiculed, so my advice keep up or stay ahead of Ghanaians!
