BLACK AGBADA FASHION STYLES FOR MEN.

Agbada is a loose-fitting robe worn by men in Nigeria

Is a four-piece male attire found among the Yoruba of southwestern Nigeria and the Republic of Benin, West Africa. It consists of a large, free-flowing outer robe , an undervest , a pair of long trousers , and a hat. The outer robe-from which the entire outfit derives the name agbada “-is a big, loose-fitting, ankle-length garment. It has three sections: a rectangular centerpiece, flanked by wide sleeves. The centerpiece-usually covered front and back with elaborate embroidery-has a neck hole and big pocket on the left side.

WAYS TO STYLE THE AGBADA

There is a style pattern to wearing the Agbada, which typically follows the latest trends. An unfading trend is folding the open sleeves of the cloth over one shoulder while walking or before sitting down. Also, some prefer to wrap each sleeve over both shoulders in order to adjust the garment, giving it a slimmer look. However, it is very unpopular to see the style rocked with both sleeves down.

Agbada, which was preferred by royals, dignitaries and chiefs of the Yoruba tribe is now a major fashion trend among the ‘Yoruba demons. Men of the Eastern part of Nigeria are also not excluded as they have been spotted severally on amazing styles.

For males, the cloth goes well with the traditional neck and wrist beads which is commonly red amongst the Yorubas, with a ‘fila’ known as cap in the English community. Some men prefer a well-polished leather shoe, or a pair of sandals. However, shiny leather shoes complement the dress well and gives wearers a stunning and admiring look.
