I've read that in the West African country of Togo, the highly-decorated local beads are only ever worn at the waist, to hold up a loincloth or skirt. And that for an outsider to wear them round their neck would make them a laughing stock. Is this true? And are there any other similar instances in African countries where an outsider should be careful about wearing local beads.

Normally Africans find it funny or an insult for outsiders to wear traditional clothing.
