Family / Re: Wearing Buba / Agbada As An American Married To A Nigerian by thedarkfuzz: 11:20pm On Aug 13, 2020 |
Mancala: Eshe fun this advice o! The first and the best. I really appreciate your insight on buba/sokoto/agbada formality and the additional impact of the fabric type. I love Nigerian food too. We have a wonderful auntie here who owns a food truck and makes amazing jollof, and there's one pan-African restaurant in our area that does a good amala, but that's pretty much it. This time, I'm going for fancy over Lagos food we've always got dodo, rice, and stew at home. ]@thedarkfuzz,Awesome, I know what to look for in the future proudly9ja: Solatium:Very useful! Just what I was looking for after reading all this. I'll be heading out in a little bit with my buba/sokoto/fila on. Thanks for all the good words everyone. Oluwa bukun e. By the way that's not us in the title post, I guess someone just put that there for illustration....we're better looking in our wedding picture though. 4 Likes 1 Share |
Family / Wearing Buba / Agbada As An American Married To A Nigerian by thedarkfuzz: 9:16pm On Aug 12, 2020 |
Ekaso y'all. I'm an American white guy married to a wonderful Yoruba lady. We live in America. My wife is travelling for work 4 days out of 7 the last two weeks. When she came home last week, I put on a suit and took her out to a fancy restaurant to let her know how incredibly happy I was to have her home. This week, I want to surprise her again - she's expecting the suit, so I thought I might go with my buba and agbada instead. I have one from our wedding and another that she bought me for general fancy occasion wear. I've only ever worn this kind of dress to local events with lots of Nigerians (birthday party, wedding) and once to a friend's wedding. I haven't ever used it for something like a dinner date. I have a general sense (from growing up here) of when it's right and not right to put on a suit, but I have no clear idea of what occasions are ok/not ok for a buba and agbada. Should I pick up my wife at the airport tomorrow for a dinner date in Nigerian formal dress? Photo used for illustration 181 Likes 15 Shares
