Iro and Buba

Iro and Buba are traditional West African garments, often worn together as part of cultural dress. The Iro is a wrap-around skirt, typically made from colorful, patterned fabric, that is tied around the waist. The Buba is a loose-fitting blouse or top, usually matching or coordinating with the Iro, and designed for comfort and elegance. Together, they form a coordinated outfit commonly worn for special occasions, ceremonies, and celebrations, reflecting cultural heritage and identity. The styles, fabrics, and colors can vary based on region, occasion, and personal preference.
