Long long time ago, the agbada style was a male fashion property in Nigeria. But because ladies have it in their DNA, to look good fashion wise in almost every piece of clothing, it has become the ‘in thing’ for the Nigerian lady – Rocking agbada styles in gay abandon, almost to every occasion.
The Agbada is a heavy piece of clothing worn over a simple dashiki style native wear and topped off with a traditional cap. It is an original Yoruba men’s native wear but is now being worn by everyone. And currently, women don this eye-catching style with their geles on, some even where it with cap on
The ladies have now transformed it from its conventional style to more daring, stylish and beautiful garment. From weddings, fashion shows, red carpet events, we see the agbada’s beautiful evolution into short, floor length, sleeveless, long draping sleeves and even denim, thanks to our ever creative Nigerian fashion designers.
The female agbada works best with your high heels. Since agbada is mostly worn with well tailored trousers, the heels give length to the legs and stops your agbada from sweeping the floor. You can accessorize with anything, a gele, cap, necklace, beads and of course a purse.
The agbada with its beautiful motifs is sweeping the Nigerian female fashion world and Stylish Gwin Africa took up the initiative to flaunt compiled photos of females slaying agbada styles in case you need some style inspiration.
