The Boubou is a flowing wide-sleeved robe worn across West Africa, and to a lesser extent in North Africa. The loose-fitting garment is worn by men and women in Mali, Nigeria, Senegal, and some other parts of Africa with varying nicknames across borders and ethnic groups. Lots of people find it very comfortable to wear and it offers a unique elegance associated with the wealthy in these areas.

Check out some of our favourites this week and don’t forget to tag us with #BellaStylista or send your photos and Instagram handle to [email protected] to be featured next week.
