The West African Dashiki
A dashiki is a colorful, loose-fitting garment worn in West Africa. It has a V-shaped collar with beautiful embroidery and is often made from brightly printed fabric. Dashikis come in bold colors like orange, yellow, green, and blue. The patterns can tell stories about the wearer's family, status, or region. Today, dashikis are worn proudly by people of African heritage around the world!
