They're primarily Bantus with some Cushite admixture. Hence why they have slightly narrower features than other bantus.

Latest study on Tutsi groups suggests they cluster together with the Maasai who are on average half Dinka half Somali like
 
Modern Nilotes don't all dress the same. Some are very modernized, others are primitive.

I think the ones who bordered Cushites were more modernized like the Nara and Kunama.
I quite like how Nilo-Saharan groups like Maasai, Samburu, etc dress.

They are 60-70 % Cushitic, rest is mainly Nilotic with some Bantu.

They were a Nilotic group who had high South Cushitic ancestry that language shifted to Bantu.

Same with the Tebu people that borrowed heavily from the neighbouring Berber Culture in Libya. As well as mixing with them.

They don't descend from Somalis, but from South Cushites. And they also have a Bantu component, they are not just Nilote & South Cushite.

I know, was just using pristine contemporary ethnicities as proxies since well RIP South Cushites :i83dwbv:

Saharan and Sahelian Nilotes are the most modern in terms of culture and clothing. The ones in South Sudan and near the Omo Valley are the most primitive when it comes to culture and clothing.
