2.1.1. Western Africa
2.1.1.1. Ghana
2.1.1.1.1. Ghanaian Traditional Clothing is often very bright, pretty, and merry. Since Ghanaians are experiencing some very serious problems today, a lot of modern clothing comes from secondhand sources in Europe. Secondhand garments are called Obroni Wawu in Ghana. However, the following garments described are traditional Ghanaian garments.
2.1.1.2. Mali
2.1.1.2.1. Malian people are known for their love of fashion. More than 20 ethnic cultures originate from Mali, so there are many rich cultures that contribute to the making of traditional Malian clothing. These clothing garments are common across the country, though not exactly the same
2.1.1.3. Nigeria
2.1.1.3.1. Nigeria is a very culturally rich country. It is Africa's most populous country and therefore has many different cultural groups with their own styles of clothing. The largest groups are the Hausa-Fulani (the largest ethnic group), Yoruba, and Igbo groups. I will be going through the most common garments.
2.1.2. Southern Africa
2.1.2.1. Angola
2.1.2.1.1. Angolans have a sense of immense pride when it comes to their clothing. When the Portuguese colonized Angola for four hundred years from 1575 to 1975, they took extreme measures to discourage or even ban traditional clothing in Angola. This created an even stronger meaning behind clothing in Angola, as Angolans knew how hard they had to fight against the colonizers to preserve their culture.

4.2.1.1. China
4.2.1.1.1. Modern Chinese garments combine the traditional cultural symbolization that the clothing has with modernized designs and styles.
4.2.1.1.2. Generally, in all of Asia, but especially in China, the main marketing technique involves creating lower cost products with the hopes that the lower price will attract more consumers.
4.2.1.2. Japan
4.2.1.2.1. For both men and women in Japan, modern fashion is much different from traditional clothes. In recent years especially, the Japanese have become more accustomed to wearing Western clothing. This is likely due to the convenience of Western clothes and the acceptance of Western styles and fashions around the world. Some people do continue to wear traditional garments, though they typically add a modernized flair. Japan, as the main developer of fashion in Asia, is where the idea of mixing western style with traditional style originated.
