My Style: Lynda Ddane Uwamahoro – Day 2

Meet Lynda Ddane Uwamahoro, our style star this week. She’s a TV host and media personality currently working with UBC TV.

My personal style in a few words is “comfortable, daring and flamboyant “. Black is my favorite color as it somewhat sneaks its way into everything I wear. However, I still love to play with colour in my outfit choices better than a preschooler does with their crayons. This is what fascinates me about African print. The colour galore is breathtaking.

I do not have an exact shopping spot. I buy different things from different places and many times I tweak them to suit me and my character. Like adding cut outs or prints to make them different from the usual because I find normal a bit boring.
Style icons … I’d pick Rihanna because I’m always drawn to her fashion sense. Her character and mine are not so different. If you asked me for another, I would pick Meagan Good because I just have a crush on her.
I work with different photographers like Mujumbura Oneal, Fred Bugembe, Daville of Multiways Photography and Benie Popie among others. They are all super talented but with totally different points of view.

I’m a huge fan of comfort and very comfortable in my own skin which makes it easier for me to dress according to my mood without holding back because of what “he or she thinks”! I wear whites when I am feeling casual and headed to outdoor events because they attract attention in a subtle way, I seem to believe.

I love a nice pair of sporty sneakers and believe every woman should own a pair. They are comfortable and versatile. Of course as versatile as you would want them to be. You could wear them with anything depending on how bold you are. With shorts to look sporty and effortlessly cool. With a dress again to look cool and sophisticated. With a skirt to take you at least 3years back in age lol. Or the usual with jeans and sweatpants.
