La Sape is a Congolese dandy aesthetic of extravagant suits and sartorial excellence, named for La Société des Ambianceurs et des Personnes Élégantes, the Society of Ambiance-Makers and Elegant People, which celebrates style in spite of poverty. Congolese sapeur dressing carries it. Impeccably tailored European suits are the foundation. Brightly colored garments fill out the rest, with luxury accessories completing them.
