Ethiopian suit


An Ethiopian suit is the name given in America to the traditional formal wear of the men of Ethiopia. It consists of a long sleeve, knee-length shirt, and matching pants. Most shirts are made with a Mandarin, band, or Nehru collar. The suit is made of chiffon, which is a sheer silk or rayon cloth. A shawl called a netela or a kuta is wrapped around the suit, see Culture of Ethiopia. During the 2008 Summer Olympics Opening Ceremony, Parade of Nations, the Ethiopian team marched in white suits.

In the United States and the Caribbean, the Ethiopian suit is also worn by Rastafarian men.

The Ethiopian suit is worn for weddings, church and synagogue services, and other special occasions.
