Agbada: the King of Boys!

Agbada, a traditional male ensemble, originates from the Yoruba people in southwestern Nigeria, West Africa. It comprises a flowing outer robe (awosoke), an undervest (awotele), long trousers (sokoto), and a distinctive hat (fìla). The agbada gets its name from its voluminous nature. The outer robe is usually a spacious, ankle-length garment featuring three sections, including a lavishly embroidered rectangular centerpiece with wide sleeves, a neck hole (orun) and a sizable pocket (apo) on the left side.
