Fashion rings, more than symbols of commitment

Who says rings are only for weddings and engagements? In the world of modern fashion, rings have evolved beyond mere symbols of commitment.

For today’s stylish woman, a ring is more than just jewellery, it’s a deliberate expression of confidence, taste and individuality.

Fashion has never been static, as trends shift and evolve, rings have emerged as one of the most powerful statement pieces in a woman’s wardrobe.

Gone are the days when a ring was simply used to signify marital status. Today, a ring symbolises boldness, elegancy or playful.

From funerals to fashion shows, church services to cocktail parties, women are intentionally styling rings to match every look and occasion.

The options are as versatile as the women who wear them.

Statement rings come big and bold, demanding attention and often stealing the spotlight.

Stackable rings allow for personal creativity, mixing, matching, and layering metals and textures.

Minimalist rings bring quiet elegance, ideal for the woman who prefers subtle sophistication.

Gemstone rings add personality and a pop of colour, while designer rings deliver exclusivity and craftsmanship that elevate any outfit.

Sneakers: rainy season’s style essential

The rise in sneaker during the rains is not just about fashion, but also about necessity. Unlike sandals that leave feet exposed or leather shoes that easily soak, sneakers provide better protection against the unpredictable weather.

They keep feet dry, offer stronger grip on wet surfaces, and still allow wearers to express individuality through design and style.

The types of sneakers available today give wearers plenty of options to match both lifestyle and weather needs. Waterproof sneakers, crafted from weather-resistant materials, shield feet from the heaviest downpours.

Sneakers provide extra ankle coverage, making them perfect for wet and muddy areas. Lightweight canvas sneakers, when treated with water-resistant sprays, offer breathable comfort, while luxury designer sneakers bring a polished edge to rainy-day outfits.

Beyond variety, sneakers are versatile enough to be styled with almost anything. They pair effortlessly with jeans, casual dresses, skirts, and even semi-formal wear, proving that functionality does not have to cancel out fashion.

In a season where safety and comfort are just as important as appearance, sneakers strike the perfect balance.

For today’s fashion-conscious individual, sneakers are more than footwear; they are the rainy season’s ultimate companion, blending necessity with style in every stride.

Themed ‘Promoting African heritage: our pride, our passion’ the event saw 421 students showcasing not only a fulfilled academic requirement but also served as a platform to ignite creativity and innovation among students.

With a focus on encouraging budding designers to carve a niche for themselves, the event resonated with the spirit of originality.

Head of Department of Fashion and Textiles at ATU, Dr Emma Donkor, urged students to use fashion as a tool to tell their story in order to promote and preserve cultural identity.
