What is a "boubou"?

A boubou is a type of loose-fitting garment that originated from West Africa and is commonly worn in various parts of the continent.

The robe is usually worn over the pants and features wide, flowing sleeves and a generous amount of fabric that provides ample coverage and comfort. The boubou is often made from lightweight, brightly colored fabrics such as cotton or silk and can be decorated with intricate embroidery or beading.
