GUIDE OF SÉDHIOU - Cesie

A DRESS FOR EVERY OCCASION
In general, it should be noted that, as in Europe, women have
more options. Men wear traditional clothing in special days,
while women flaunt wonderful dresses even to go to market.
In everyday life, men mostly wear Western clothes, usually
jeans and t-shirt. Women too, but they often wear skirts in
wax or khartoum.
Friday is not an ordinary day. It represents the day of prayer in
the Muslim religion, so the
majority of the population in
Sédhiou honors this day with
elegant clothes to go to the
mosque, or to pray on the
place of work.
Men wear long T-shirt with
baggy trousers in cioub or
baciem. Colors may vary:
white, purple, gold. To go to
the mosque, women can
dress the same way as men, but also with traditional dresses
or skirts (no matter the fabric). In any case clothes must be
long and, for women, the use of a scarf that covers the head is
compulsory.
