When he goes for Igwa mang or any other occasion that requires him to wear wrapper is it reasonable for him to wear half shimi or must it be shorts/boxers underneath?

And the answer you keep being given is the affirmative.

You want to rock a wrapper without the coarse fabric riding up on your skin then by all means wear a half-slip/half-shimi underneath but it must be black and plain with no slits or lace.

You can wear what you like under a wrapper. Anyone that has a tradition involving 'boxers', is confused.

I don't know, and don't want to know lol. But there's not 'tradition' that tells you what to wear under your wrapper, and there's no igbo word for 'boxers' so 'boxers' can't be a part of an igbo 'tradition'.

Anything anyone wants to wear in Igbo culture is their business. There are no rules on casual dressing in our culture.

You and your half shimi questions.

It happens with some frequency. All it does is serve a practical function for people who wear wrappers (male or female). Anyone who sees it as exclusive for women is mistaken.
