A dashiki is a loose fitting shirt traditionally worn by men. They range from casual to formal with an easy to wear look. Some African Dashikis are made with embroidery along the neck or collar.
The history of the African dashiki The dashiki originated in West and East Africa and was originally a shirt covering the entire chest as well as in a much longer version called the grand boubou. Dashikis were loose fitting but were light enough to offer protection for the sun and heat.
Lightly Embroidered Grand BouBou
The dashiki has made a huge breakthrough from Africa since the African American culture struggles of the 1960's. Dashiki's first started selling from Harlem and now find a home all over the U.S. Dashiki's are worn in movies, mentioned in print, and worn by famous people all over the world.
This dashiki is worn in a very famous musical number in the Disney film Enchanted!
