African Print Cropped Jacket | Oriva
A striking finishing piece for dresses and tailored separates, this African print cropped jacket combines bold Ankara fabric with beautifully considered details. The black and orange botanical print is complemented by cream accents, decorative geometric trim and long sleeves finished with delicate ruffles.
Crafted from 100% cotton African wax print, the jacket features structured shoulders, an elegant open front and a cropped silhouette that sits neatly at the waist. The contrasting trim frames the front opening, while the gathered sleeve detailing adds softness and texture to the tailored shape.
Whether worn over a fitted dress, a simple camisole or tailored trousers, this Ankara jacket brings colour and character to wedding guest outfits, evening celebrations and smart occasionwear.
This listing is for the cropped jacket only. The black outfit and accessories pictured are not included.
Wear the jacket over a plain black dress for an elegant occasion look, or pair it with a simple top and wide leg trousers to let the print stand out.

A cropped jacket is an easy way to introduce African print into an outfit without wearing a complete matching set. The shorter length works particularly well with fitted dresses and skirts, allowing the waist and overall silhouette to remain visible.
For weddings and formal celebrations, try wearing this black and orange Ankara jacket over a simple fitted midi dress. The botanical print and geometric trim provide enough detail to make the outfit interesting, while understated accessories keep the look elegant.
For dinner or a special evening out, pair the jacket with tailored black trousers and a plain camisole. The structured shoulders and ruffled sleeves create a beautiful contrast against the simpler pieces underneath.
You can also wear it with a pencil skirt for church, family celebrations or occasions when you prefer a more tailored appearance. The jacket provides the statement, leaving plenty of room to experiment with pieces already in your wardrobe.
