Samburu warriors11. Samburu warrior casts ballot at polling station in Nkirish, KenyaMen wear a cloth which is often pink or black and is wrapped around their waist in a manner similar to a Scottish kilt. They adorn themselves with necklaces, bracelets and anklets, like other sub tribes of the Maasai community. Members of the moran age grade (i.e. “warriors”) typically wear their hair in long braids, which they shave off when they become elders. It may be colored using red ochre. Their bodies are sometimes decorated with ochre, as well. In the past decade, traditional clothing styles have changed. Some men may wear the 1980s-90s style of red tartan cloth or they may wear a dark green/blue plaid cloth around their waists called ‘kikoi’, often with shorts underneath. Marani (Lmuran) (warriors) wear a cloth that may be floral or pastel. -- source link
