When it comes to combining tradition and trendy elements in his dressing, I must say that KayBobo has this unique touch that makes traditional clothing seem so appealing and interesting.
During this current festival season, he was seen wearing a bright red colored Yoruba agbada that exudes festivity, and as someone who has been tracking his style trends.
I love how he pays homage to his heritage while also dialing up the volume level for sophistication. Worn at the premier of Toyin Abraham’s “Oversabi Aunty,” this collection is more than festive, it’s a statement to the strength of the holiday color red.
First of all the agbada itself is a work of art in Yoruba tradition. It consists of red aso-oke material with white stripes running through it vertically. This is a three piece agbada outfit that consists of the outer wrapper which drapes majestically on the body, the inner buba with trousers attached in a way that gives the individual a solid structure, and the cap which completes the whole outfit.
What elevates it further are the layers of coral beads draped around his neck, a timeless Yoruba accessory that brings in that rich cultural texture. This is a classic Yoruba design element that adds that depth of cultural meaning. To finish off this outfit, he wore sleek black patent shoes.
