Nigerian Agbada

The Nigerian Agbada is a traditional, elaborate robe worn by men, especially in West Africa. It consists of a large, flowing outer garment with wide sleeves, often richly embroidered, worn over a long-sleeved shirt and trousers. Made from luxurious fabrics like silk or brocade, the Agbada signifies prestige, cultural identity, and respect, frequently worn during important ceremonies, celebrations, and formal events. Its design varies by region but maintains its status as a symbol of elegance and cultural heritage in Nigeria and neighboring countries.
