Dashiki – Be a Proud Owner of This African Garment Today

Both African fashion clothing and traditional garments have their own unique appeal. They are bright and colorful with beautiful indigenous patterns and cuts. But perhaps what fascinates us most is their simplicity and earthiness. Among African garments, dashikis deserve special mention. They are used for both daily wear and special occasions. Dashikis are colorful unisex garments worn by African people, mainly in West Africa. They can be used as formal or informal tops over trousers, skirts, shorts and pants. 

Various kinds of authentic African fabrics are used to manufacture these dashikis, such as mud cloth, brocade, cotton, George, Kente, lace, polyester, rayon, suede, tie & dye, cowrie print, gold print, batik, silk, wax prints, Kitenge and many others. You can find dashikis embroidered, printed, sequined or lace worked…the choice is galore! 

Dashikis are generally loose-fitting with an ornate and embroidered V-neck and sleeve lines. Apart from flowing tops, there are also tailored dashiki shirts for more formal occasions. A dashiki top or shirt worn with a kufi hat is a preferred choice for many Africans. Many grooms wear dashiki sets comprising dashiki shirts, kufi hat and trousers during traditional African wedding ceremonies. White, purple, lavender or blue dashikis are worn in weddings while for funerals it is always red or black. Many times, a dashiki is worn as an inner dress as well. You will find dashikis in several African fashion clothing stores or even order them online. Dashikis have a steady market in the US and other countries today. Wear a dashiki for a fun evening, theme party, formal wedding, business function or as regular wear. You’ll steal the show!
