Which Outfit for Which Occasion?
| Occasion | Suggested outfit |

| Graduation | Print jacket with plain trousers |

Choosing the Fabric
- Wax print (Ankara): bright, crisp, holds tailoring well.
- Kitenge cotton: breathable, ideal for hot venues.
- Blends: less creasing for long events.
- Pick a print scale that suits your build: large prints read bolder, small prints look neater.
How to Order a Made-to-Measure Outfit
- Choose a look from the gallery and note the product name.
- Send your event date, budget and colour theme to the tailor.
- Agree on fabric and take measurements (in person or as guided).
- Attend a fitting, then collect or have it delivered.
Matching a group? for groomsmen or family, order together so the fabric comes from the same batch and colours match.
Planning the groom’s outfit? See wedding suit prices in Kenya and bespoke suits in Nairobi.
Worked Example: Ruracio Outfits for Five Brothers
Five brothers want matching outfits for their sister’s ruracio. They choose one African print fabric, order print jackets with plain trousers so each brother can rewear the trousers, and book measurements four weeks ahead so every jacket can be fitted.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Ordering a week before the event.
- Choosing a fabric that is too heavy for an outdoor afternoon event.
- Matching a group with fabrics from different batches.
- Skipping the fitting.
