What Is The National Dress Of Kenya?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Kenya doesn't have a national dress. The country is diversified so widely that every ethnic group finds it difficult to wear a dress that is worn by another ethnic group.
            
    All the 42 ethnic communities practice their own traditional culture and costume that is unique to them. Making them accepting a unified dress is a task that is seems quite impossible but still the government is trying to make them accept it for national unity.
            
    The most recent effort in this direction is 'Sunlight Quest for Kenya's National Dress'; a dress sponsored by Unilever, but it is yet to get acceptance.
          
    Kitenge is a cotton fabric that is generally accepted as an African dress but this one also has not been accepted till date, Kanga is also a piece of cloth that most Kenyans use in their homes but it is not officially their national dress.
