The traditional Yoruba (West Africa) women's outfit includes the gele (head tie/wrap). Stiff fabrics are preferred so that it holds it shape throughout the day. The gele is wrapped around the head but unlike most head wraps that lie flat on contour of the head, the gele is manipulated to stand away from the head, creating an enormous headpiece. Over time and with more wealth becoming available to the commoners (versus the royalty), the size and quality of workmanship and fabrication in the gele became to be a potent symbol of a woman's socio-economic status
