What do people in Rwanda wear?

The majority of Rwandans wear Western-style clothing. However, there are still some people who wear traditional Rwandan clothing, which is typically made from cotton or barkcloth.

- Men often wear a long-sleeved shirt and trousers, while women wear a long dress or skirt with a blouse.

- Both men and women may also wear a wrap-around cloth called a "kanzu" or "imigongo", which is often decorated with colorful patterns.

- On special occasions, such as weddings or festivals, Rwandans may also wear more elaborate clothing, such as the "uburanga", a long, flowing robe made of fine cotton.

Here are some specific examples of traditional Rwandan clothing:

- Abakunzi: Worn by men, long tunic with long or short sleeves, belted at the waist.

- Musini: A skirt worn by women, made of cotton or barkcloth, often with intricate patterns.

- Umusambi: A short-sleeved shirt worn by men, typically made of cotton.

- Imigongo: A wrap-around cloth worn by both men and women, often decorated with colorful patterns.

- Akapapa: A long robe made of barkcloth, traditionally worn by men.
