Igbo Men Casual Attire? by Nobody: 12:03am On Apr 27, 2017 |
I have a few questions pertaining to cultural attire of the Igbo. I'm not familiar with Igbo culture. I am African American from Mississippi. I took my DNA ancestry test with Ancestry.com and from a lot of research and emails and confirmation I found that on my father side I am Igbo, 3rd generation and I'm proud of it because now I know where my people are from. I would like to know what are casual clothes igbo men wear? I see a lot of head ware as well but I know some are for a certain status and wouldn't want to get something that isn't meant for me to wear, also how could I become more involved in my culture and would I be accepted even though i wasn't born in Nigeria? 1 Like |

Jcolston89: 3rd generation Igbo? Did your Igbo ancestor migrate to the US recently? Any idea? |

bigfrancis21: 4th & 5th generation, my family didn't mix with white people like that so my DNA test came back 91% African. Highest percent 29% Nigeria and 16% Senegal and then it spreads all over Africa. 1 Like |

Traditional men tie wrapper. We're into cross dressing in the east. |

Jcolston89:That comment was obviously tongue-in-cheek. Isiagu attire will do just fine. Follow nkaigbo and Igbo Amaka (The Igbo Monitor) on Instagram for inspiration. They'll show you how we dress on traditional occasions. |
