These days, it’s become a trend for Nigerian women to add a Gele to their lace Aso-ebi look. And this trend didn’t start today. We have the Yoruba women of Nigeria to thank for that. It was (and still is) their number one add-on for iro and buba and aso-oke.

When I was a kid, I remember my mom had a Gele for almost all her native outfits, especially the ones made with lace, george, brocade, or Ankara. And anytime she donned iro and buba, she added a gele to complete the look as a Yoruba woman would.

Even though styles have evolved over the years, one thing remains: African women aren’t dumping this headwear anytime soon. And to prove this, just visit the social media and type Gele styles, you will see pictures of brides and their friends posing while rocking beautiful gele styles.

If you have a traditional social event coming up, you shouldn’t be an exception. So, let’s see these gele styles that will ensure you steal the show at any wedding even if you’re not the bride.

What is Gele?

Some people over here may not know what Gele is. I mean some Igbo folks; especially those who have not been to the Yoruba land.

Gele is the Yoruba language for headgear. It is a form of sophisticated head-tie made of gorge and Ashoke. All tribes use headgear but the Yoruba tribe make Gele version and make it part of Owambe attires.

Any party you attend in Yoruba land without seeing ladies wearing Gele, look around again for the country you are in. And recently, it is now part of Traditional marriage in Nigeria both for the Igbos.

But first, why should you even don this headgear? It’s not compulsory, is it? So, why? Let’s find out together.

As you already know, gele is a stylish headgear that complements the native wears for women. It comes in different types and fabrics. Some are stoned, some are glittery, some are flowery, some are plain, while others come with other details.

Sometime ago, gele used to be a form of flamboyance among women. For instance, a woman who wanted to prove to her rivals that she cared less about their presence would wear a gele called ‘ma wo be’ which means ‘don’t look .’ in Yoruba.

As I said earlier, things have changed now. Women are more deliberate about this headwear, not necessarily to dis. class during events but to elevate their look since it’s an accessory.

And if the outfit is for a wedding, most times, it’s the bride who makes the gele choice for her girls. And when this happens, you don’t have to do much. You only have to buy it, learn how to tie a gele, or find someone to do it for you.
