3. Sotho Traditional Dress
The Basotho people, also known as the Sotho, have a distinct traditional dress that includes the famous Basotho blanket. The blanket is worn by both men and women and is wrapped around the body, serving both functional and cultural purposes. The colors and patterns of the Basotho blanket often signify social status, age, and marital status. The traditional headpiece for women is called the mokorotlo, a conical hat made of woven straw or fabric.
