Ethnic Clothing
Africa is a huge continent, where at least a thousand languages are spoken, and there are many more than a thousand tribes, each with their own special culture. So, when someone says, "African clothing", it could cover a range of garments from loincloths to complex balloon dresses.
What people wear is usually dependent on their faith, culture, and the weather in their areas, or some combination of those. Generally though, Africans tend to favor durable, natural fibers, and clothing that is both useful and beautifully made.
There has been alot of crossover in style influences between Africa and Asia. You are just as likely to see people wearing caftans in both regions. Silk is also popular in Africa for those who can afford it. Egyptian cotton is recognized as among the best, and is sought after in Asia and around the world.
Dashiki- is a colorful men's garment widely worn in West Africa that covers the top half of the body. It has formal and informal versions and varies from simple draped clothing to fully tailored suits. Traditional female attire is called a caftan, see Kaftan (boubou). A common form is a loose-fitting pullover garment, with an ornate V-shaped collar, and tailored and embroidered neck and sleeve lines.
Sari (or Saree) - Ideally, 6 to 9 metres of unstitched fabric, that is draped around the body in a variety of styles. Though the ideal is that it be completely woven, with no pins or needles touching it (because of the ideal of total nonviolence, or at least not wearing anything dangerous), with any decorations painted or glued on, rather than sewn, many sari today are embroidered and/or hemmed.
Choli - The blouse or fancy bra-like garment. Ideally, this has an open or only tied back, but many today are like full shirts
Lehenga - The long, often pleated or gathered skirt, often made from sari fabric. Usually rides low on the waist.
Salwar - The loose fitting pants, usually with gathers (churidar style) or a sort of a band-cuff (salwar style) at the ankles.
Kameez - A usually knee or below knee length dress-like shirt, that is usually split on both sides to about the waist, and sewn to flatter feminine curves, although some are "modest cut" for those who prefer it.
Kurta - Similar to the Kameez, but not always as long, or split as far up the sides, and usually in the "modest cut".
Dupatta - The long scarf, usually about 2 to 5 metres, that almost always comes with any salwar kameez or lehenga choli set.
