Smocks (FUGU).
These are traditional wears of northern Ghana but now a national wear in Ghana and the world over. It can be worn by men, women and children alike. The Smocks are made of fabrics of pure cotton.
Smocks traditionally were worn by chiefs and king makers of Northern Ghana. They were also worn during festivals and for War Dancing. In modern time they have become designer clothes worn by ordinary men, women and children. The fabrics they are made of are also used to make bed spread, table tops, curtains, handkerchiefs, etc.
