Create your eventIf the couple has chosen aso ebi, wear an outfit sewn from their chosen fabric and colors. Popular 2026 guest styles are corset lace gowns, mermaid dresses, peplum skirt sets and, for men, agbada or kaftan with a matching cap. If there is no aso ebi, choose bright, celebratory native attire and avoid all-white, which is usually reserved for the bride.
Most women's styles need 4 to 5 yards of lace, and a full agbada usually needs 5 to 6 yards. Hosts on Aso Ebi Logistics sell fabric in ready outfit units, so guests buy the right amount in one step.
Give your tailor the fabric at least 4 to 6 weeks before the event, and 8 weeks for beaded or heavily structured styles, so there is time for fittings and adjustments.
Guests can be bold, but etiquette is to avoid full bridal silhouettes such as long trains and veils. Let the fabric shine with a flattering cut and statement gele or accessories.
Owambe is the Yoruba word for a lively Nigerian party or celebration. Owambe outfits are festive, colorful and often made from the event's aso ebi fabric.
