Clothes basically
being one of the basic needs for one's survival, most people around the world
now use it for cover, attraction, and beauty. Most fashion clothing today has
evolved with time, from the use of hemp fibre, cotton to the now present
synthetic fibre and nylon. In the past, the Traditional African community used
only animal skins and hides to cover themselves and also to provide warmth for
their bodies.
Clothes being part
of today's fashion and trend can tell us a great deal about a person's
background, social status, esthetic tastes, mood, and even about climatic
conditions. They also show whether one is bereaved or not. Most likely, one can
be able to know about a woman's marital status by way of dressing.
