A very welcome development,

if you ask me. Multilatered

embellishments would be fine

for social events-  and sack cloth

for church😂

Addicted to watching events in Nigeria, I am fascinated and impressed by the attire. Sometimes I wonder how big the wardrobe is. One question that keeps bothering me: are they now wearing agbada as white people where suits to offices? If so, what, then, is the social function dress code?

I now see people wearing agbada to offices. What do they wear for Sunday services and social events?
