These modern agbada styles and designs are not the same as those our grandfathers wore. Thanks to Nigeria’s talented fashion designers, the latest agbada outfits are more appealing to young people and comfortable to wear.

Fun Facts About the Nigerian Agbada Native-Wear for Men
The Parts: The inner piece top/ shirt is called ‘kaftan’ and the big, flowing outermost robe-top is called the agbada or ‘baba Riga’. The inner kaftan can either be short-sleeved (short agbada) or long-sleeved, depending on your preference.
Usual fabrics for sewing men’s agbada include lace, guinea brocade/ kampala, atiku material, aso-oke, even ankara materials or wax prints.
Embroideries in Abgada Outfits? That is optional, although a big part of the traditional agbada menswear – however, you can choose to have yours sewn with or without embroidery designs (see pictures in the above video for inspiration).
Every Nigerian knows this, but I know that our non-Nigerian readers would want to know a thing or two about ‘agbada’. Maybe you already know about the dashiki African ethnic fashion trend Worldwide (also known as danshiki). Well, agbada is the senior brother of dashiki shirt, sort of, and it’s widely worn in Nigeria.
You’ll also find agbada worn as the ethic wear in some African countries such as Senegal, Mali, most West African countries. Agbada is a 3-piece outfit, with two tops worn over a trouser (sokoto).
