Liputa Traditional Outfits are bold, bright, and colourful fabrics worn by the Congo people to give a striking balance between their local African outfits and Western fashion style.

The different regions and countries in Africa have various attires and dress forms that are unique to them. Several attires are exclusive to certain tribes, cultures, and ethnic groups.

For the people of the Democratic Republic of Congo, their traditional clothing is known as "Liputa". This Liputa is a modern fashion style worn by women which means wearing colourful attires and vibrant fabric patterns.


Nowadays the Congolese styles have a mix of Western trends, but their striking print and vibrant hues which portray their culture remains. The conventional blouse and wrapper with hair scarf or turban are not very common among young women, however, the fabrics are used to create stunning attires that accentuate the feminine structure.

The styles are shown below.
