My sister-in-law has done a lot of work in Africa, she told me they LOVE bright colors! The 3rd time she went, she wanted to bring new shorts, underwear and bras in all sizes, so I went around to my local stores and bought lots of items that were on sale or on the clearance racks. Some of the bras were quite, um, garish, but she said the more outrageous they were, the more popular they were!
