What Do african tribes wear during special occasions?

Question

yeah

Answer 1

They used to wear a leopard skin across the shoulder, leather shield and traditional weapons in hand,  some sort of leggings for the dancers, bare feet or sandals.

Truly now days they wear dark glasses and be certain to have a visible fancy ball point pen clipped in their upper pocket.  FACT

Answer 2

Usually black suits, white shirts and ties, like everyone else.  Oh, and well polished shoes and clean socks, ha, ha.

Answer 3

In lieu with "culturally" inclined celebrations eg A cultural wedding. A bride will wear traditional gear known to their tribe... like the Tswana who wear a specifically designed cloth called the "Seshoe shoe" pronounced "shwe shwe"... They are normally in blue, red and brown and each colour represents a different stage of a womans life... child(virgin), married woman, mother etc... men dress in animal skin covering essential parts and a head piece, only an elder man can cover his shoulders and wear a more decorated head piece something like a crown. Weddings are mostly where this happens or when a young girl has reached puberty and starts her monthly period, to celebrate her entry into womanhood. They arent practiced that much any more and maybe occure once in a blue moon in specific rural areas and not all the time. They have begun to take on more of the western culture but its still nice to see the beautiful stuff they wear...
