Clothing is not that important anyway, we don't need to invent any new clothing.

If you want to embrace your culture just start dressing like old nomads and warriors.

All Somali culture is contrived and forced. Reality is we're just nomads that rear animals and go on raids.

Why do people insist on dances and colorful dresses?
 
Beautiful White clothing that needed to be cleaned and maintained, beautiful hair, teeth and skin.
Historical records talk about how Somali men looked after their appearance.

They showed off their chest and arms.

No weak sarong from Asia back then!

The original Somali look can only be worn by an original Somali man who eats a carb and sugar free diet.

Stop being a self-hater, it's not making you look intelligent or anything.

Our culture is abundant if you ever visited the culture and history section on this site.
 
I blame the collapse of our government for

1. Poor Af-Somali, not standardised and grammatically incorrect.

2. Incoherent and incorrect cultural output.

If we had a strong government and nation, we'd NEVER be allowed to wear Asian labourer outfits on a national stage and claim it as SOMALI CULTURE!

We really need a cultural revival so we can return to our dignified state.
 
This was a post stamp of Somalis before we turned into lost people

You see? The Clean white robes that show off a lean, well kept body, luscious curls, moisturised skin and the spear/shield= just in case you thought they were weak.

Where did the notion that "macawiis" is true Somali culture come from?

Somalis did adopt a lot of things from trading with others but it's wrong to call it authentic Somali cultural garments.


Sure, use it to sleep and whatever, but please, stop embarrassing us during cultural events by wearing outfits fishermen and other labourers wear.

Even Bengalis and other Asians (from where it comes) don't wear the LUNGI to a formal event!!!!
