Raised in Montgomery, Alabama, home of her parents and her Ethiopian culture, Mereba is in the tradition of folk, and hip hop. Her music is a jumble of styles that very deliberately seems to cross over between R&B, folk, and soul. Her fashion sense is equally as cross-genre, and while it’s eclectic, it’s grounded—mixing natural tones and textures with old-school bohemian allusions.
1. Mereba in Dresses for Bohemians and Fabrics that Flow
Most of Mereba’s wardrobe consists of flowing bohemian dresses and freedom. Her color palette seemingly moves away from the traditional to benefit from a natural aesthetic, with earthy tones like olive green, burnt orange, and deep brown being her constant choices. Her dresses tend to be loose and layered to mirror her loose and layered approach to music, drawing together disparate genres in a sort of seamless whole.
2. Mereba in Layered Jewelry
Mereba is known for using thoughtful jewelry, for which she stacks necklaces, rings, and thin bracelets. These accessories are personal, intimate things, she often picks pieces that, inspired by her Ethiopian heritage, bring an element of rooted elegance.
3. Mereba in Natural Textures and materials.
Mereba usually blends materials such as linen, cotton, and wool into outfits, to promote comfort and sustainability. They round out her style with the organic feel they bring along with them, and they add a raw, earthy quality to her outfits, closing the gap between them and her soulful, nature-inspired music.
4. Bold Headwraps and Scarves
Mereba’s signature headwrap is the other half of her look. Sometimes she ties them in ways that show her African heritage, using them to inject both color and culture into her outfits. It enriches her style and brings to them the tradition suffered by her ancestry.
5. Earth-Toned Boots and Sandals
When it comes to footwear, Mereba sticks with simple and chic earth-toned boots and sandals. Her natural aesthetic is weighted down by these shoes, but they bring some versatility to her outfits.
6. Effortless Makeup and Natural Hair.
Mereba regularly opts for less makeup and rocking her curls — not to mention her piercing eyes — in a more natural way. This speaks to her integrity in making this choice and mirrors her music’s honesty and introspection too.
Mereba’s music and style are as thoughtful and earthy as the other stuff. She has a style with a heritage that makes it beautiful, natural, and simple. From head wraps to layers of her jewelry, all of the details speak to her soulful artistry: she isn’t just a music queer, she is a style icon too.
