Historical evidence is lacking for the evolution of African clothing, mainly due to the warm weather. The first clothing was made out of animal skins - leather and fur
shawls and loincloths. And the first jewellery was probably made of
seashells and feathers. Different styles and colors can represent
different traditions. (according to encyclopedia.com)
In African clothing at least there are 45 categories, but of course these categories may have some changes. Here are few list of categories; African textiles, African wax prints, Dashiki, Ethiopian suit, Wrapper and so on...
