Clothes
Liberia has 16 recognized ethnic groups, and traditional clothing varies across them, but some common threads run through rural and ceremonial wear:
- Lappa and buppa: Women traditionally wear a "lappa," a long wrap skirt tied at the waist, paired with a "buppa," a loose-fitting matching blouse, often finished with a coordinating headscarf.
- Via: Men's traditional wear includes the "via," a round-necked shirt paired with shorts or long pants.
- Country cloth: One of Liberia's most important traditional textiles is country cloth, a handwoven fabric produced on narrow looms and joined into wider pieces, traditionally woven by men for garments and ceremonial wear, with patterns reflecting community identity and heritage.
- Fabrics tend to be vivid and bold — tie-dye and bright prints are especially popular for festivals, weddings, and dance ceremonies.
In urban areas, Liberians generally wear Western-style clothing — T-shirts, tank tops, shorts — similar to what you'd see in the US or Europe, usually in lightweight cotton or linen to handle the heat and humidity. Liberia also has a strong second-hand clothing market that shapes everyday style, letting people mix imported pieces with traditional garments. Western-style wedding fashion — white gowns, veils, tuxedos - has also become standard for city weddings, even as rural celebrations may still incorporate traditional grass skirts and ceremonial dress.

Art
Liberian framed art often blends indigenous heritage with contemporary storytelling. Popular pieces include carved wooden masks mounted as wall décor, country cloth textile art framed like tapestries, and paintings depicting village life, market scenes, or national symbols like the Liberian flag and pepper bird. Many artists draw on the country's Kpelle, Bassa, and Grebo traditions, using bold colors and geometric patterns rooted in ceremonial and cultural symbolism. Contemporary Liberian artists also explore themes of resilience and rebuilding, reflecting the nation's post-war history. Framed prints of national symbols and folkloric motifs are popular choices for adding cultural character to a home.
