The main garment worn by the Maasai (male or female) is the “shuka,” which is basically a long piece of clothing that can be worn in a several ways depending on the choice of the wearer.

In traditional Maasai style, the adult women wrap their shuka made of tartan material around their bodies in a manner of their choosing, while adorning their necks with wide collars made from the most intricately arranged colorful beads. They also wear long earrings and show off their arms with a collection of bracelets.
Maasai men also wear a shuka and are eager to show off their braided hair, earrings, bracelets, the feathers on their caps, and their lion manes, which signify bravery and achievement a man’s achievements as a skilled hunter and warrior.
