Aṣọ-Oke : Clothes from the up-country
Aṣọ-Oke is a popular attire in Yorubaland, usually worn by couples on their traditional wedding day or by people attending a classy, glamorous and indigenous party. Yoruba people take pride in this attire hence its prestige. Aṣọ-Oke is a short form of Aso Ilu Oke meaning clothes from the up-country. It is the traditional wear of the Yoruba people. Aṣọ-Oke clothing materials typically come from processed cottons from traditional weavers in Yorubaland.
Basically, Yoruba's Aṣo-oke comes in three major colours: Alaari – a rich red Aṣọ-Oke, Sanyan- a brown and usual light brown Aṣọ-Oke, and Ẹtu- a dark blue Aṣọ-Oke.
