Yoruba Clothing

Yoruba clothing reflects a rich cultural heritage, characterized by vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and detailed embroidery. Traditionally, men wear agbada (a flowing robe), buba (a shirt), and fila (a hat), while women often dress in iro (wrapper), buba (blouse), and gele (headwrap). These garments are made from fabrics like agbada or Ankara, often adorned with beads and embellishments for special occasions. The clothing symbolizes social status, identity, and cultural pride, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern fashion influences to celebrate Yoruba heritage.
