Congo Ethnic Dress
In any country if you see the ethnic dress, it will be something made of the most popular material available to use. People of the Republic of Congo wear colorful dresses made of fabrics derived from raffia and bark. Today, some of the ethnic dresses are worn very rarely by the people of Congo. |
The whole world itself has Americanized and we all wear jeans and t-shirts. The same is also true for the people of Congo. Such is the change in fashion industry today.
The ethnic dress of Congo consists of a warp around. However, the ethnicity of Congo has come a long way and the dressing style has changed and evolved as they were subject to different rulers. In the Mobutu era, the men in Congo were forced to dress like Chinese and even the women wore tops similar to the ones worn by Chinese women.
However, today, typical Congo clothing is a wrap that is made out of elephant skin and decorated with a bright colored handkerchief to cover the hair. Some men also wear brightly colored shirts and pants made out of raffia and bark. The standard top, which has been adapted from the Chinese culture, has been taken to design several modern clothing and styles worn in the world throughout today. After the civil war, Congo has become completely different and today, you only find the older generation wearing the cultural dresses and taking part in the festivals. The bright texture and colors of the Congolese dress has been adapted in several clothing across many countries.
