Many contemporary Nigerians continue to dress in the traditional Iro and buba. Outfit components include a wrapper (iro) and a skirt (buba). This ensemble works well for religious and secular events. Some tips on how to wear iro and buba as accessories:
Pick the suitable textile:
Ankara, lace, and chiffon are just a few of the textiles that are commonly used to make iro and buba ensembles. Select fabric that is appropriate for the time of year and the event. In contrast to the heavier Ankara fabric, which could be more appropriate for a winter event, the airy chiffon would be perfect for a summer celebration.
Fit your needs: The right iro and buba attire may do wonders for your appearance. Check the fit of the top around the shoulders and bust and the bottom around the hips and waist.
The buba's neckline is another important design element that should not be overlooked. It's possible to exude grace and modesty with a high neckline or to strut your stuff with a low one.
Put the finishing touches on your iro and buba ensemble with the right accessories. You might finish off your outfit with a pair of striking earrings, a necklace, or a clutch.
Colour and pattern play are encouraged, as iro and buba garments come in a broad variety of hues and designs. Use contrasting colours or elaborate patterns to draw attention to yourself in a truly original way.
