African girls clothing has changed over time, however, the greatest impact on clothing began in the 20th century as a result of trading with Western countries. Originally, Europeans and Arabs influenced African clothing, especially in the northern regions. The influence of the Arabian culture continues to be seen in the designs, embroideries, and long robes worn by some Africans in their daily lives. Most modern Africans wear Western-styled pants, shirts, dresses and shoes. Others continue to combine the old with the new, wearing traditional clothing, along with Western styles. Africans living in remote regions wear only traditional clothing

African Culturey

In East Africa, kangas and kitenges are like T-shirts and are often worn around the waist in hot weather. The national dress for Kenyan men is a long-sleeved dashiki shirt, which goes with matching pants and a kofia (hat). Some men still wear kaftans, although today they're mostly worn by women. Men from Tanzania wear a white robe called a kanzu that has a tassel and a small round cap (kofia), while the Buganda men of Uganda (in east Africa) wear dashiki shirts and a cap for informal events.
