Many people like to wear African wax print clothing on the top and bottom half of their body with a plain coloured top, blouse, shirt or a plain pair of trousers such as black or dark blue jeans.

However, it is becoming increasingly popular for men and women to wear two piece combination outfits in the same print. For example, an African print skirt and top or a shirt paired with shorts or trousers.Parents love to wear matching African print clothing with their children. This has been a popular trend for some years now. Mothers love to wear matching African print dresses with their daughter(s) and fathers like to wear matching colourful African shirts with their son(s) for example. Couples also like to wear matching outfits especially for formal occasions.
