Well originally we are ALL oromos. Its only the Arabs who came and contaminated us with Tribe love and looking down on bantu looks. We are like the slaves in america. The house slave looks down on the field slaves. I am sure @Reiko is cursing me as she reads this

I've seen Omanis online refer to the hat as African and that they should stick to their turban

Evidence? I don’t see Yemeni women wearing it, their traditional dress is different.

We’ve been bullied by foreign industries since forever. Now we provide the world’s small need for livestock and bananas while we consume their finished products. I’ve considered investing in/creating some clothing with authentic Somali inspirations only to realize it would fold under pressure from cheap cloths made in China or some such. Perhaps relegated to a few purchases from hobbyists. That’s the world we live in I guess.

Somali women dressed in many ways. If you google earliest somali pictures taken of our people, the common feature of dress for women is Guntiino and a combination of covers on their shoulder with maro/guntino underneath. You have to remember also somalis lived in a large swath of lands in East Africa from Ethiopia to the coastal lands of Kenya bordering Lamu. Nomaidc women dressed one way, and farmers in the south dressed a little different.
