as colonialism became more influential, the igbo adapted their dress customs. clothing worn before colonialism became "traditional" and worn on cultural occasions. modern igbo traditional attire, for men, is generally made up of the isiagu top, which resembles the dashiki worn by other african groups. isiagu (or "ishi agu") is usually patterned with lions' heads embroidered over the clothing and can be a plain colour. it is worn with trousers and can be worn with either a ceremonial title holders hat or with the conventional known as "okpu agu". for women, a puffed sleeve blouse along with two wrappers and a head tie are worn.
