…The Yoruba True Style
The uniqueness of Nigerian fashion is the profound peculiarity in heritage fabrics and styles from the diverse ethnic group, one that rates Aso-Ofi, popularly called Aso-Oke, a hand-woven cloth of the Yoruba, Southwest Nigeria as number one on the list.
Without a complete attire of the Iseyin originated aso-ofi, or a touch of it as accessories, either as cap, headgear, etc, you are not perceived as properly dressed for special occasions in the Yoruba culture. A proper Yoruba man and woman always without fail show up to special occasions and ceremonies with the true style of aso-ofi.
From the locally hand-made/woven fabric to the styling of the evergreen indigenous iro and buba for women, and agbada for men, true style comes to life at all special occasions.
Although over time, fashion evolution has created contemporary styling for men and women, the fabric also with new artful designing and diversity in shades, remains the heartbeat attire of all special occasions such as traditional marriage ceremony, traditional festivals, rites and ceremonies, anniversaries, etc.
