A flowing robe with wide sleeves worn by men in some parts
of West Africa and North Africa.
The name “Agbada” (Yoruba) is not what it is generally known
as; some other names are: Boubou (Senegal), Gandora (Tureg), Babban riga
(Hausa), and so on.An Agbada, nicely worn to a wedding or similar events, might just get you more than a souvenir…you know what I mean! Who said you had to be on an Armani tuxedo to look classy?
Here are some basic things to keep in mind while styling an Agbada:
·
Your Fila (head gear) doesn’t need too many
formulas. It just needs to go with the flow…nothing weird.
·
Make sure your trousers (sokoto) don’t cover
your shoes or sandals; half an inch above your shoes or sandals will do. You
also need your shoes to get a piece of the action. Make sure you do not go “all
Michael Jackson” on the trousers.
