Number 1

Here is Gele by Segun Lagos’ thought on layered gele:

It always comes out classy and stylish and it makes your entrance lovely and classy. There are numerous reasons why we adorn headwraps. Firstly, Thanks to history and culture that we should celebrate the art of tying the gele.

Like everything else in Fashion, the gele goes through some numerous reform every now and then. Over time, styles like asake gele, avant-garde, onile gogoro, take a bow, abebe gele, boys follow-me, ceiling fan, hand fan and oleku gele have become popular for all women.

Eniola Fatola Shares:

Gele has evolved beyond the normal folds of materials without much precisions. For a bride being the major highlight of the events, it is recommendable to choose elegant and unique styles to fit with her choice of outfit. Most #AsoEbiBella ladies also love to look great while attending a wedding, so it’s advisable for the bride to pick a style which is not so common so as not to feel rivaled seeing someone else with her style.

This gele style is suitable for brides simply because of it’s elegance. It starts out in a criss-cross like shape that evolves into perfectly blown out pleats.
