Wrapped in Pride: Ghanaian Kente and African American Identity
How to wear kente

Women's kente

These steps illustrate a traditional way of wrapping for women. Women's kente can also be worn wrapped underneath your arms, leaving your shoulders bare; as a skirt over which a long blouse is worn; or as a wrap around your neck.

Contemporary kente fashion includes tailored skirts and blouses, suits, and dresses.
