Editing Buganda (section)

===Fashion===
According to Christopher Wrigley, "The Ganda were careful, even prudish, about the covering of the body; and cotton cloth, though known since the end of the eighteenth century, was a great rarity until about 1870 and did not become general until the colonial period. Some use was made of animal skins, but the preferred form of dress was bark-cloth, which also had other uses such as bedding and wrapping of goods."<ref>{{Cite book | url=https://www.google.com/books/edition/Kingship_and_State/nWKAFW9oVJcC?hl=en| title=Kingship and State: The Buganda Dynasty | isbn=9780521894357|pages=60–61 | last1=Wrigley | first1=Christopher | date=16 May 2002 | publisher=Cambridge University Press }}</ref>

Historically, [[barkcloth]] was the textile of choice mainly worn by the royals from the days of [[Kimera of Buganda|Ssekabaka Kimera]] and later everyone else starting with the reign of [[Semakookiro of Buganda|Ssekabaka Semakookiro]]. Barkcloth is no longer as popular as it once was and has been replaced with [[cotton]] and [[silk]]. However, some fashion designers like Jose Hendo, still use it today. Barkcloth is also worn as a symbol of protest, mourning, or both. The traditional dress is the [[Kanzu]] for men and the [[Gomesi]] for women. However, Western-style fashion is very popular these days.

Some of the more common hairstyles are Bantu knots (especially Bitutwa), [[cornrows]], Pencil braids (Biswahili), [[Box Braids|Braids]], [[Crochet braids|Crotchets]], Weaves and [[Afro]]s.

Some accessories may include [[necklace]]s, [[anklet]]s, [[earring]]s, [[bracelet]]s and [[waist beads]] ( or obutiti and they are always worn under ones clothes i.e. undergarments).
