In Zulu culture, women also wear different clothes at different stages of their lives. Only one young woman wears short hair and only a short beaded reed skirt, while engaged women cover their breasts and grow hair.

A married woman covers her whole body to indicate that she is spoken. She wears a thick skirt of cowhide that has been softened with animal fat and charcoal. Traditionally, women covered their breasts with clothing, but today they wear vests or bras with beaded necklaces.

The most emblematic ornaments are the circular hats called izicolo, worn by married women. These hats were traditionally made of grass and cotton and measured up to one meter long to protect the wearer from the sun.
