African clothing is the traditional clothing, often vibrantly coloured, worn by the people of Africa. In some instances these traditional garments have been replaced by western clothing introduced by European colonialists. In Northeastern Africa, particularly in Egypt, styles of traditional dress have been influenced by Middle Eastern culture, this can be exemplified by the simply embroidered jelabiya which are similarly worn in the Gulf states. The Northwest Africans are less influenced by foreign elements and have remained more in antiquity. The djellaba (worn in Northwest Africa) shares similar properties with the grand boubou, the dashiki, and the Senegalese kaftan. In Nigeria, women wear headbands In Sahelian Africa, the dashiki, Senegalese kaftan, and the grand boubou are worn more prominently, though not exclusively (the bògòlanfini, for instance, is worn in Mali). The dashiki is highly stylized and is rendered with an ornate V-shaped collar. In contrast the grand boubou is simpler, even more so than the djellaba, though the color designs reach impressive proportions, especially among the Tuareg, who are known for their beautifully dyed indigo robes. In East Africa, the kanzu is the traditional dress worn by Swahili speaking men. Women wear the kanga and the gomesi. In Southern Africa distinctive shirts are worn, like the long dresses they wear. For instance, South Africa is known for the Madiba shirt, whereas, Zimbabwe is known for the safari shirt. In the Horn of Africa, the attire varies by country. In Ethiopia, men wear the Ethiopian suit and women wear the habesha kemis. In Somalia, men wear the khameez with a small cap called a koofiyad. ==Gallery== File:Burnus sulla spalla.jpg|Urban Algerian man wearing a burnous (woolen cloth) File:Egyptian musicians.jpg|Musicians in Egypt wearing (urban) gellabiya File:Bedscha.jpg| Shalatin tribe Beja people wearing Gellabiya File:Mamadou Tandja 2005.jpg|Man wearing a grand boubou File:6412.jpg| File:Dashiki and kufi.jpg|A group of drummers wearing dashikis and kufis in Accra, Ghana File:Morocco, djellaba, end of 20th century - Bunka Gakuen Costume Museum - DSC05317.JPG|Djellaba, Morocco, end of 20th century - Bunka Gakuen Costume Museum File:On the beach galleryfull.jpg|Gambian women in their head ties File:Ivorian woman.jpg|Ivoirian woman in a head-tie File:KenteCloth.jpg|Kente Cloth, the traditional garment worn by Akans and the Kingdom of Ashanti royalty.
