The dashiki is highly stylized and is rendered with an ornate V-shaped collar. In contrast the grand boubou is simpler, even more so than the djellaba, though the color designs reach impressive proportions, especially among the Tuareg, who are known for their beautifully dyed indigo robes. In East Africa, the kanzu is the traditional dress worn by Swahili speaking men. Women wear the kanga and the gomesie. In Southern Africa distinctive shirts are worn, like the long dresses they wear. For instance, South Africa is known for the Madiba shirt, whereas, Zimbabwe is known for the safari shirt. 服饰类需要熟悉的单词 thong (腰) 带 Islamic adj. 伊斯兰教的 garment n.一件衣服 indigenous adj. 本土的 embroider v.刺绣，修饰 apparel n.服饰 Render accesso
