You can assert these geles with any type of dress you’re wearing let it be western or traditional.

Aso Ebi styles:

The traditional Nigerian style of Aso Ebi is an inspiration from the Yoruba culture. This season fashion designers have again played with the traditional aso ebi style. And the result is a splendid collection of long modern age gowns and maxis. Aso ebis are the perfect choice for any wedding or traditional get together in Africa. Aso ebis are usually brightly colored dresses but if you don’t want too much color you can opt for a nude shade. No matter whatever shade you opt for don’t forget to pair it a gele. Usually, you wear monotoned geles on wedding functions.
