English: The Ankara style (other spelling: Ankcara) is an African fashion style for clothing. This style dates from the early colonial age and describes originally a wax-printed cotton textile with colorful perseverative patterns of mostly symbolic contents. Generally, a such textile is sold as yard ware and later handled to one or several (more or less associated) garments. It's worn as shirt, top, skirt, dress, pants, scarfs, as part of shoes... etc. by women as well as by men (however in different cut styles). The word-term "-kara" remains of "Cára", the name of the early Portugueses for the contemporary Accra on the "Costa de l'Ouro" in the 16th century.
