African Dresses both For Men and Women
Clothing for ladies mainly constitutes a number of
"Kaftans”, which can come in various styles, images and colors. The
free-flowing kaftans may be the dressing type of the commoners, while the
well-fitted kaftans are actually worn by the African VIPs, queens as well as
women owned by prominent households. The colors in the kaftans differ greatly,
along with women choosing anything from the gentle earthy tones to the vibrant,
striking colors, for example red or violet. The prints are often very big and they
contain traditional tribal styles and icons. Ancient Africans used a number of
ties and dye styles too on the clothes. Indigo plant was mainly employed for
dyeing the standard African clothing wear.

The standard African Clothing worn by men is called
"Danshiki" or even "Dashiki". This conventional shirt is
extremely long, ending several inches over the legs. The sleeves of these
shirts are shoulder length. There are a number of designs and styles on these
types of shirts, especially close to the base from the shirt as well as around
the neck. Danshikis are often paired with traditional men’s pants, also called
"Sokoto". Right now Danshikis haven't lost their own charm and
therefore are worn by men along with pants or even jeans. Traditional men’s
clothing is going to be incomplete with no mentioning of "Fila", that
is the conventional cap put on by males in the African continent. Like the
actual scarf that the African ladies wear, Fila is definitely an accessory, and
without this the traditional Africa men's wear is thought to be incomplete.
