Diversity in African Fashion

African clothing and fashion present a fascinating tapestry of cultures. From the brightly colored textiles and abstractly embroidered robes to colorful beaded jewelry, the variety is immense. Traditional clothing differs significantly across the continent, reflecting the diverse histories and geographies of African countries.
