African clothing is the traditional clothing worn by the people of Africa. In all instances except rural areas these traditional garments have been replaced by Western clothing introduced by European colonialists.
European influence is commonly found in African fashion as well. For example, Ugandan has started to wear "full length trousers and long-sleeved shirts". On the other hand, women have started to adapt influences from "nineteenth-century Victorian dress". These styles include: "long sleeves and puffed shoulders, a full skirt, and commonly a colorful bow tied around the waist". This style of dress is called a busuti. Another popular trend is to pair a piece of modern western clothing, such as T-shirts, with traditional wraps. Rural communities have also started to incorporate secondhand clothing / western clothing into their everyday style too. For example, rural Zambian women have started to combine "secondhand clothing with a single two-yard length of chitengi that was used as a wrapper over the dress". With the globalization of western clothing influencing from urban to rural areas, it has now become more common to find people wearing a variety of styles of clothes
