Zulu dress

Zulu dress is a traditional attire of the Zulu people of South Africa, often worn during cultural ceremonies and celebrations. It typically features vibrant beadwork, intricate patterns, and accessories that signify social status, age, and marital status. Men often wear animal skin or leather outfits, while women wear beaded necklaces, chest plates, and skirts. The jewelry and designs are symbolic, reflecting heritage and identity. Modern adaptations blend traditional elements with contemporary fashion, but the essence of Zulu dress remains rooted in expressing cultural pride, history, and community belonging.
